News from the Wisconsin Breast Cancer Coalition
Sometimes you have to reach across the aisle. While the only things Rep. Donna Rozar and I have in common are her work on this bill and our dislike of John Spiros, (she doesn’t like public unions, and she is prolife) she was a very kind and gracious person. I had the privilege of giving this award to her today in honor of and in memory of Gail Zeamer, who was so instrumental in starting the work of AB117/SB121. Representative Rozar did do a great job of parrying with the insurance lobbyists in the Assembly Health Committee. In January an amendment was added to remove the MRI cost free option, leaving only ultrasound at no cost. The Wisconsin ...

RALLY ON SATURDAYS WITH US
Friends for Peace,
We will be walking around the 400 Block each Saturday morning at 10 am until about 11:30. Many come to walk and many come to sit on the corners of the 400 Block with signs and flags to be present for people who want to stop to talk.
Please join us as you are able! Bring a new sign if you have time. We do have some to share if you need one!
All of our hearts should be open, and in doing this we will be strengthened to take actions in support of a peaceful solution.
In Solidarity,
Carolyn, Claudette, Nancy and David
COMMUNITY OUTREACH TASK FORCE~”The Marty Bus”
Little did I know when I started volunteering here how much this would grow on me. There is great need in our comunity and often those with the greatest needs are shunned. The problem of unhoused is not going away by wishing it away or incarcerating it away. And shame on those who say "not in my backyard." All I can say is, you have touched me, I have grown.
Community Outreach Task Force is A Non-profit Organization with a mission to provide the basic living needs (and more) to the homeless. We are staffed by volunteers, so 100% goes directly to servicing the most vulnerable in our community. We fill a great need in our community. Homelessness is ...
Saving Social Security
Recently Wausau took part in a launch of Seniors for Biden in Wisconsin. We had former Alabama Senator Doug Jones come to Wausau to do a tour on Social Security and Medicare. Throughout the week, former U.S. Senator Doug Jones launched the “Protect Our Retirement” tour to campaign for President Biden across Wisconsin, with stops in Wausau, Green Bay, and Milwaukee.
Doug Jones is a former U.S. senator and current civil rights attorney. In 2017, he won a special election to fill a U.S. Senate seat in Alabama—the first Democrat to do so in 25 years in the state. He also served as U.S. Attorney until 2001. It was while serving in that ...
Our Vote, Our Ballot Box
On Monday, May 13, at noon, several of us along with The Wisconsin Democracy Campaign met in front of City Hall. This type of event happened in five cities across the state: Madison, Milwaukee, Green Bay, Eau Claire and Wausau. In Wausau, we were joined by Katrina Shankland!
May 13 the Wisconsin Supreme Court began hearing oral arguments in the Priorities USA v. WEC case, which will decide the fate of ballot drop boxes in Wisconsin.
In 2022, the Wisconsin Supreme Court outlawed ballot drop boxes in Teigen v. WEC under the guise of “ballot harvesting.” After the 2020 presidential election, conspiracy theorists who did not like the ...
