Tell Your State Legislator: Support WI Family Leave Insurance!
Send a message to our State Legislature! I support my legislature in passing Wisconsin’s Family and Medical Leave Insurance. No one should have to choose between the family they love, and missing a paycheck. It’s time to focus on policies that boost families and the community. Sign the petition!
Take a Stand: Wisconsin Needs A Living Wage!
Milwaukee needs living wages. We can help working families by guaranteeing that whenever corporations benefit from public resources, they create living wage jobs. As it stands now, companies make big profits taking public money, paying poverty wages, and pocketing the difference. Sign the petition today!

Take a Stand: Protect WI Family and Medical Leave
This year marks the 25th anniversary of the WI Family and Medical Leave Act. Big money corporate interests are lobbying Wisconsin legislators to take away the law that has protected the jobs of Wisconsin families when they’ve needed to care for their own or a family member’s illness or a new baby. You can get involved to make sure that Wisconsin families aren’t forced to abandon their sick family.
