Women’s March 2024 Marshfield
Saturday before the election, dynamic speakers talking about what they have seen happen to women through the lens of their professions as attorneys, and as nurses. This was followed by a march, and Marshfield does it up nicely with a robust crowd. The event left everyone energized and ready to go out and talk to voters.
Social Security and Scary Looking Postcards
Wisconsin’s GOP recently flooded our mailboxes with scary-looking postcards claiming that Kamala Harris’ “amnesty plan for illegals” will destroy Social Security and Medicare. First off, providing “amnesty” would mean pardons for illegally crossing the border and granting legal status, and VP Harris has no such plan.
Secondly, while both programs may be unable to pay full benefits within the next 12 years (Social Security in 2035 and Medicare in 2036) without reforms, undocumented workers are actually helping keep these programs afloat, since ...
Physicians for a National Health Program
To anyone who may want to learn more, this is a great opportunity about how the Advantage Plans are taking over public Healthcare and are not really the best thing for us.
Either of these links should work for the SEIU Retiree organized presentation on Thursday, September 19 at 1:00.
There will be presenters from Physicians for a National Health Program, plus a guest appearance
by Lieutenant Governor Sarah Rodriguez (who is also a nurse).
You can also attend live at the Madison Labor Temple.

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 ...

A Nation Going Backwards
On this day two years ago, the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade was leaked and women across Wisconsin learned that they would be left with fewer rights than the generations that came before them. It’s sad that I grew up with more rights than my daughter now has. This is a nation going backwards.
Trump’s 2016 campaign promise to appoint justices’ intent on dismantling Roe v. Wade was a very clear sign of the dangerous times ahead – and his actions in office delivered on that promise. And now, because of Trump, more than 1 in 3 women of ...
Poor People’s Campaign
On Saturday, March 2nd, there was a mass March & Assembly at the Capitol in Madison as part of a nationally coordinated day of action in 32 states plus Washignton, D.C.
Here in Wisconsin, we gathered at the State Street steps, individuals, groups, congregations, and unions, all ready to march.
After the march we gathered at the First United Methodist Church for a mass assembly, followed by lunch.
Forward together, not one step back!
