The State of Working Wisconsin & Policy Priorities

Wednesday, September 4, 2024, 12pm CT

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.

K-12 Education in the Fox Valley

K-12 Education in the Fox Valley

by | May 9, 2023

Every student in the Fox Valley region deserves to receive the educational support and resources needed to help them achieve a bright future. Over the past few years, the COVID-19 pandemic has led to significant impacts on students in Wisconsin. These challenges were particularly acute for students who were more likely to be struggling prior to the pandemic, like students with lower incomes, students of color, and students who speak English as a second language. With federal pandemic relief funds drying up, state leaders must ensure schools have adequate resources and that students don’t fall even more behind.
