Feed My People is the only food Bank in West Central Wisconsin, dedicated to serving 14 counties. As food pantries close in WI, partly due to federal and state budget bills, it is taking responsibility for The Emergency Food Assistance Program in several counties. www.weau.com/2025/08/05/f...

Late last week, Susan Crawford was sworn in as the latest member of Wisconsin's Supreme Court. Although Elon Musk gave millions to her opponent, she won by 10 points. It shows that Wisconsinites want real change, and that we, not the rich and powerful, have the final voice in our state.

Shelia Stubbs, who represents Assembly District 78, has introduced a bill that could help marginalized people through our state. It would create a task force to investigate missing and murdered black women in Wisconsin, examine the reasons for the violence, and make recommendations to prevent it.

Disturbing news- on late Monday night, Priscilla Prado, Wisconsin Assembly representative, described a man attempting to get inside her house. This is about a month after Minnesota state representative Melissa Hortman was shot and killed, and state senator John Hoffman and his wife were wounded.

A huge victory for Wisconsin progressives- and really, all humanitarians- this week. Wisconsin Republicans brought a lawsuit, arguing that an attempted statewide ban on conversion therapy by Governor Evers was unconstitutional. The Wisconsin SCOTUS ruled otherwise. www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcn...

Yesterday, the Wisconsin Senate passed a heavily debated 2025-2027 budget bill. While it may have been a compromise between Republicans and Democrats, it isn’t widely considered a “win” by either party. Unfortunately, it isn’t for most of the state, either.
