WHAT’S A WOMAN WORTH?
Please join us for an afternoon of learning and lively conversation on a topic of concern everywhere in our society: wage (and often power) inequalities that women continue to face in the workplace. Wage disparity not only adversely affects women and their families all their working lives, but in retirement as well. This discussion puts all of these topics on the table.
“What’s a Woman Worth?” will be held Thursday, September 14 at WEAC Region 3 Office, 1136 N. Military Road in Green Bay, Wisconsin. The time is 1 to 3:30 p.m.
There is no charge. You do not need to register. For more information, you may call Joyce Luedke, 715-359-6595.

Citizens Take Action on Opposing Restrictions of Medicaid in Wisconsin

Someone who is struggling with addiction, but has health insurance, is far more likely to be asked by a health professional if they have a ...
THANK YOU FOR VOTING FOR THE ACHA
Thank you, Congressman Duffy, for voting for the ACHA, the Ryan healthcare bill, May 4th.
Thank you to the voters for voting for Donald Trump and Congressman Duffy on November 8th.
The Ryan healthcare bill (AHCA) has been called an “act of mercy” by Speaker Ryan.
Here is a short list, out of many provisions, that are especially ‘merciful.’
