Rally Cry In Wausau
Around five hundred people took to the 400 Block on Sunday, July 10, to voice their outrage regarding the recent U.S. Supreme Court ruling. As one of the organizers of this event, I cannot even find the words to say how proud I am of the youth I engaged with. You rock. To the familiar faces I saw, thank you for your ongoing engagement. Thank you to several of our local groups who reach out with information and help. You’ve looked at the adversity in the area and turned it around in a meaningful way. i admire you.

Vote Blue
Whether at the gas pump or supermarket, we are all feeling the impacts of higher prices. While Republicans have pointed fingers at President Biden and Democrats, these attacks are hypocritical and unjustified.
The causes of inflation include the global pandemic and Putin’s war of choice in Ukraine. And while Democrats have been working tirelessly to lower costs for families, Republican politicians have actively voted against solutions.
Trump’s failure to address the pandemic sent our economy into a recession and caused the unemployment rate to surge from 3.8% to 14.8%. In one year, President Biden led a historic economic recovery that ...
Standing With Healthcare Professionals
After three calendar years on the frontlines of the pandemic and over 8 months of bargaining in good faith with Aspirus Health, healthcare workers are joining together with their neighbors to demand a fair contract from Aspirus, who received millions in federal relief money while the frontlines remain in a staffing crisis.

A fair contract can keep nurses at the bedside where patients need them, but unfortunately, Aspirus refuses to listen. On Monday, June 27 we won't be silenced! Stand with Wisconsin Federation of Nurses and Health Professio...

Your Voice, Your Vote
It’s time to wake up Marathon County. Your voice continuously becomes smaller. What will you do when you have no voice at all? The time to speak up is now.
This week WEC Republican member Dean Knudson resigned unexpectedly, citing pressure from US Senator Ron Johnson. The Wisconsin Elections Commission must elect a new chairperson this year, and under state law, that role rotates between parties. It is the Republican's turn. Fake elector Bob Spindell is the only other Republican currently eligible. GOP legislators are calling for elections to be taken over by the Secretary of State, a partisan elected official. I don’t care which party is in ...

Sara Finger from the Wisconsin Alliance for Women’s Health
A message from our Wisconsin Alliance for Women's Health Founder & Executive Director, Sara Finger:
