Thank you to everyone who’s already donated to our spring supporter drive — every contribution truly matters, and we’re so grateful for your support!

For the past five years, we’ve worked hard to bring you fact-based reporting and connect national news to what’s happening right here in Wisconsin. But as a small newsroom, we can’t do it alone. We rely on a few reader-funded drives each year to keep this work going. We’re asking for your support to help us get to more events and share even more stories. No amount is too small to make a difference!

Capitol? Packed. Protest? Peaceful. Message? LOUD🚫👑 The people of Wisconsin showed up in force in Madison for ‘No Kings Day.’ An estimated 15,000 people marched from Library Mall to the Wisconsin State Capitol on Saturday, filling the streets with signs and chants.

The protest was part of a nationwide movement in response to President Trump’s authoritarianism.

The protests remained civil and peaceful, with city police reporting just three arrests in relation to minor vandalism.

This WI Mom Had Her Baby With the Help of Planned Parenthood

This WI Mom Had Her Baby With the Help of Planned Parenthood

Each year for her birthday, Heather Martell puts out a call asking for donations to an organization that has played a “life-saving” role in her life: Planned Parenthood.

Heather has a history of complicated reproductive health issues and says the doctors, nurses, and social workers at Planned Parenthood have always been caring, considerate, and helpful in her decision-making and connections over the years—from answering everyday health questions to getting her the help she needed when she was miscarrying and hemorrhaging for days.

Republican vice presidential nominee JD Vance says if Donald Trump returns to the White House, the Trump administration would defund Planned Parenthood—largely because of the reproductive health care organizations’ support of abortion rights.
For years, Republicans in Wisconsin’s state legislature and in Congress have tried to take away this access to health care.

Planned Parenthood leaders in the state say when these lawmakers talk about “defunding” their organization, they really mean blocking patients, many who depend on public health care funding like Medicaid, from getting necessary health care.
