Fighting in the public interest

Published: Oct. 26, 2023, 9:23 p.m.

b'We open with a somber discussion of yet another mass shooting in America where 18 people died and over 13 were wounded, bringing America\\u2019s mass shooting total to a staggering 558 this year. \\n\\nRobert updates us on this week\\u2019s state Senate hearing the $546 million public subsidy for the Brewers\\u2019 owner. Currently there are NOT the votes to pass the Assembly bill in the Senate, unless enough Democrats change their votes. \\n\\nSwitching to allies who are showing how to use their power, we celebrate the UAW\\u2019s tentative agreement with Ford and wish more Wisconsin Democrats would be as strategic and willing to fight for what is right, even when others tell them it is not possible. \\n\\nWe invite our listeners to join us for next Tuesday\\u2019s BadgerCare Public Option media event at the Greater Green Bay Labor Council, at Noon, with the lead sponsor State Representative Kristina Shelton. Priscilla educates us about volunteer phone calls we started making to voters this week in support of the bill and urging people to call their state legislators and tell them to co-sponsor the legislation. \\n\\nFinally, Robert also updates our listeners on local climate action planning in Wisconsin and why it is so important to advancing climate justice.'
