"Today, we collectively state our solemn position that the United States is not a foreign observer to genocide, but an active participant, and must meet the demands of the Palestinian liberation movement to impose an arms embargo on Israel." A statement from Wisconsin organizations supporting a free Palestine. Today, at least 55,000 Palestinians in Gaza have been killed by Israel since October 2023, with renowned medical journal The Lancet projecting the murder-toll in the hundreds of thousands.Israeli leaders have used explicitly dehumanizing rhetoric to justify their atrocities: Prime Minister Netanyahu incited the nation to "remember what Amalek has done to you," Defense Minister Yoav Gallant called Palestinians "human animals," and Heritage Minister Amichai Eliyahu suggested dropping a nuclear bomb on Gaza. Other officials called for collective punishment, mass displacement of people from their homelands to foreign nations, and even said "the children in Gaza brought it upon themselves." This is not the language of defense. It is the language of genocide. In the U.S., billions of taxpayer dollars continue to fund this Zionist ideology. American-made weapons are being used to carry out war crimes, with full diplomatic cover provided by our government. Every shipment of weapons to Israel, every veto at the U.N., and every day of silence from our elected officials makes this genocide not just Israel's. It is ours too, by design. Today, we collectively state our solemn position that the United States is not a foreign observer to genocide, but an active participant, and must meet the demands of the Palestinian liberation movement to impose an arms embargo on Israel. The State of Wisconsin is no exception. The genocide in Gaza is not a distant crisis to us-it is happening in our backyard. It is stealing resources from our communities that should be invested in helping us thrive. Wisconsinites believe everyone deserves to live in peace with dignity and to see justice. Our state's support of this genocide is in direct contradiction to this. Several Democratic and Republican Wisconsin lawmakers have publicly accepted contributions from AIPAC and other pro-Israel lobby groups that imposition them to remain silent on this genocide, at a minimum, even in the face of public outcry demanding an end to the genocide. Further, corporations based in Wisconsin knowingly manufacture weapons, produce military vehicles, and fuel supply chains that directly aid Israel's genocide. We will celebrate companies, elected officials, and candidates who fight against policies that continue this genocide, and those who take action to enact an arms embargo and permanent ceasefire. For those who refuse to take a clear stand against genocide, voters of conscience will not stand with you, and we will not allow history to erase your responsibility in the greatest crime against humanity. The People's Movement is committed to taking substantive action to support liberation for all peoples by fighting institutionalized oppression, regardless of the political party leading it. The Democratic party's consistent preference for performative actions, over effective or popular actions, has paved the way for accelerated and open fascism. The previous Biden-Harris Administration's steadfast support for Israel's genocide of Palestinians in Gaza, despite widespread public opposition, was a disregard for human life and a test of what violent policies Americans are willing to accept. For those in our movement who vote for complacent Democrats, we must confront the uncomfortable truth-it makes us complacent and complicit as well. Naming this is about moral clarity and realignment to be in genuine solidarity with all impacted communities as we progress Wisconsin and our country forward. Today, Trump's praise for strongmen isn't flattery-it's a blueprint. He admires systems that centralize power, crush opposition, and gut democratic norms, and his strategy to brazenly detain pro-Palestinian citizens without sufficient justification or proper due process is evidence of his desire to replicate them. This return of Trumpism is swiftly evolving into a fully-weaponized fascist agenda. With every executive order, every militarized protest crackdown, every erosion of civil rights, the authoritarian future becomes our present, and it is happening with bipartisan fingerprints. The line is not gray. We are either complicit, or courageously resisting. Our institutions either stay silent, or take a stand. This genocidal and fascist wave is our moral crossroads and everyone must act to end it. In coalition with Palestinian communities in Wisconsin and all those who fight for human dignity, we commit to supporting the movement through action by pressuring and holding accountable those with authority to conclude direct US enablement of Israel's genocide. There must be a U.S. arms embargo on Israel. This movement is about morality. Can we count on you to stand with the People?

Menomonee Falls, rated among the top ten safest communities in Wisconsin, is planning on reallocating $300,000 from its library to its police department.

Because Menomonee Falls is just that rampant with crime, right? Who needs a library?
