Public schools hold communities together
By Marcia Engen and Patti Clark-Stojke
Public schools are the glue that hold our communities together. Teachers, administrators, and paraprofessionals are dedicated, caring, educated individuals who serve as role models for our students.
We need to encourage equity to achieve equality
By Emily Tseffos
Equity means we recognize that each person has a different lived experience, and we allocate the exact resources and opportunities needed to reach equal outcomes.
Wisconsinites Need to Tell Our Elected Officials Our Votes Matter
By: Meredith Schoenfeld
Wisconsin voters must come together to tell elected legislators that yes, our votes do count. Please contact your representative to support the strength of a vote in a Democracy.
Republicans’ proposal on fair maps remains unfair
By: Kelly Fenton
Shamelessness is a powerful weapon. If, in your single-minded plot to retain power, you are willing to engage in cartoonish hypocrisy and transparent doublespeak – without a hint of embarrassment – you have a decided advantage. Robin Vos, in his preposterously cynical column regarding the GOP’s preposterously cynical 'non-partisan' redistricting proposal, shows just how willing he is to do so.
Wisconsin needs affordable child care
By: David Haas
We desperately need affordable child care in our state. The lack of affordable child care makes it hard for businesses to hire people and hard for families to work themselves out of poverty. Don’t stand by.
Worker shortage at care centers is failing clients
By: Connie Raether
What are the solutions? To me, one is obvious. There are 11 million people in the U.S. without documents, people who left their home countries to escape poverty and war. They are here and they want to work. Why not give them work visas and driver’s licenses so they can fill the jobs that are open?
Voter fraud in Wisconsin? Yes, it’s called gerrymandering

Extremism Wins
By: Carol Lenz
With the support of Wisconsin’s Republican congressmen, the MAGA extremists got their man. Gallagher, Steil, Fitzgerald, Grothman, and Tiffany all voted for this radical agenda. Van Orden skipped the vote. Not a moderate among them. This is not where the majority of Wisconsinites are. But that is where the Republican Party is today.
Biden’s Record Proves He’s Not Too Old
By: Kelly Fenton
If you still think he is too old, consider the alternative: a malignant narcissist only three years younger than Biden; who has 91 felony counts against him; is about to forfeit nearly a quarter of a billion dollars for real estate fraud; is credibly accused by 17 women of rape; and, for his crowning achievement, attempted to overturn the 2020 election.
The future of American freedom is at stake
By: Carol Lenz
The threat to our freedom is real. Just listen to the authoritarian rhetoric of some politicians, and even some religious leaders. At stake are freedoms for women, for people of color, for religious minorities, for LGBTQ+ people, for people who like to read books. Even the very freedom to vote, which is at the heart of democracy, is being threatened.
