Poverty Violence

Poverty extends to more than homelessness, as almost half our population here in the Wausau lives with it. That’s right, almost 40% of the Wausau area is one disaster away from poverty. It affects almost 80% of single women with a child under the age of 5. Add another layer to that, we are combatting a system that doesn’t acknowledge that there are people with mental and physical health conditions. Poverty is the 4th leading cause of death in this country. We live in a system of greed and power. This is plain and simple….poverty violence. Addressing “homelessness” itself should not be the default go to when bringing up poverty, because it ...

VOTE NO ON CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT QUESTIONS

I am voting NO on both of the election-related constitutional amendment questions on April 2, and I urge other members of Marathon County to do the same. No matter what race, background, or zip code, Wisconsinites know that voting is a fundamental right, yet a handful of politicians want to pass knee-jerk laws that affect the safety and security of our elections and will prevent voters from making their voices heard. The first constitutional amendment question would limit critical funding for our elections without any plan to make sure election administrators have the tools they need. I support fully funded and well-run elections. That is why I ...

Voices for Palestine

In this time of, again, great turmoil in the Middle East, we look to those who have the knowledge and the wisdom to share with us so that we too may begin to try to make sense of the recent violence and loss of life in southern Israel and Gaza. We were so fortunate to present an informed discussion at UU Wausau this month. Dr. Edgar Francis shared with our audience the historical perspective on the Middle East. For those of us trying to learn more and understand that history, Dr. Francis has taught Middle Eastern History at UWSP for sixteen years, including teaching an upper-level class on the Arab-Israeli Conflict. The timeline Dr. ...
