The State of Working Wisconsin & Policy Priorities

Black, Brown, Indigenous, and rural communities face significant economic challenges like low wages, wage theft, and exploitative labor practices. Despite legislative power often aligning with corporate interests, Wisconsin’s workers are actively fighting to improve job conditions—and they are winning!

Join us to hear the latest about Working Wisconsin and how workers are experiencing it. Workers from construction and services will speak directly about their own experiences in work and how the new policies around the right to organize, the minimum wage, and wage theft would change their experience of work in Wisconsin.

Partners include the Havens Wright Center for Social Justice, the High Road Strategy Center, the Milwaukee Service and Hospitality Workers Union, and Worker Justice Wisconsin.

Proposed Tax Cut Privileges Wealthiest 1%, Leaves Struggling Families Behind

Proposed Tax Cut Privileges Wealthiest 1%, Leaves Struggling Families Behind

Wisconsin can be a place where we all—regardless of race or place—have what we need to make ends meet. However, last week the Republican-controlled Joint Finance Committee voted for a tax cut that would aid in gutting supports for families. Letting Wisconsin’s wealthiest off the hook from paying what they owe means many struggling families are left behind, particularly children and families of color and those furthest from opportunity. We are calling on Governor Evers to stand up for everyday families and veto this tax cut for the wealthy few.
