Wisconsin voters will be asked two questions to amend the state constitution on their August ballot. These potential changes seek to redefine how federal money gets distributed and who has the power to make those decisions. These significant, sweeping changes would impact a wide range of issues voters care about, from education to the environment to how quickly the government can respond to emergencies (like a public health crisis or a natural disaster).

Let's not get trapped in the correct way to say things or the fear of not audaciously continuing this fight because we are still in the fight of our lives for our democracy. We have never fought with bullets and have always stayed true to our values to fight for freedom. The bottom line is that no one gets to take my fight from me, and I won't let fear or hate win.

In Milwaukee, we believe in the power of each other. We are teachers, bus drivers, nurses, retail workers, students, faith leaders, caregivers, and more. We are a community that cares for one another. We believe that our communities know what we need to grow and thrive together.
