Wisconsinites can feel the impacts of climate change. Our latest video follows staff and volunteers with Restoring Lands: A Wisconsin Land Trust as they clean up flood debris along the Milwaukee River, and explores how green space, restoration, and local stewardship can help urban environments adapt to a changing climate.

Yesterday’s Supreme Court ruling in Louisiana v. Callais is a devastating rollback of our fundamental freedoms. By gutting Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act (VRA), the Court has dismantled the most vital tool we have for stopping discrimination and disenfranchisement against voters of color.

On both the state and national level, we will continue to fight to enact policies that protect the freedom to vote, including pushing Congress to pass the John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act and the Freedom to Vote Act. These laws would restore the protections the Court just took away.

The Public Service Commission made an important decision Friday that will protect our pocketbooks! It rejected WE Energies' proposal to make ratepayers cover much of the cost to build new infrastructure needed for data centers, and instead requires data centers to cover that cost.

We need state legislation that writes this into law so everyday people are protected from rising utility bills. Thanks to the Clean Economy Coalition of Wisconsin for their work on this!
