Just a simple, moral guarantee:
No one will ever pay more for utilities than they can afford to, just to keep the lights on.

This is permanent cost-of-living relief.
This is economic justice.
This is utility justice. (2/2)

I’m joined by Citizen Action, Rep. Francesca Hong, Rep. Ryan Spaude, and many of my Democratic colleagues in proposing this necessary protection for the people of Wisconsin.

In any future, this cap on household utility bills will do enormous good. Let’s build a just, clean energy future together.

What harms? Energy bills are shooting up w/o improvements in reliability. Data centers are being planned with no public input — some of them pushed by We Energies itself. And We Energies is demanding even more fossil fuel plants.

Join for a presentation, call-to-action, and storytelling workshop!

Folks asked questions ranging from “how many Black farmers are in Wisconsin” to “how do we build quality, truly affordable housing” to “how do we end mass incarceration in the Black community?”

This is just the start of the process — stay tuned!

Now more than ever, it is important for everyone to come together as a community and care for one another. While these efforts can't replace the need for reliable, fully funded federal FoodShare/SNAP benefits, they can keep our families fed and bring our community closer together. (3/3)

Why is this needed? As you may have heard, the Trump Administration is shutting off FoodShare/SNAP benefits starting November 1st. But benefits continued during previous shutdown(s), including during the first Trump Administration. This is a cruel choice. (2/3) www.msnbc.com/msnbc/amp/rc...
Trump keeping SNAP benefits from 42 million people is cruel — and illegal
Nobody has ever questioned that contingency funds could pay for SNAP benefits in government shutdowns.

If you are in a position to help, consider organizing a food drive in your neighborhood or volunteering at a pantry.

And if you want to fight for true food sovereignty, consider attending the the African American Roundtable's food access convening on 11/20 from 6-8pm:

Despite this, we must remain resilient in this moment. Our communities now must turn to each other for mutual aid -- and at the state level, we will continue to try to fill the gaps as the federal government continues divesting in lifesaving initiatives. (3/6)
