Today, we wish to address a critical issue brought to light by a recent article in Wisconsin Watch, titled "Wisconsin Voucher Schools: Discrimination Against LGBTQ+ and Students with Disabilities". As a party that proudly upholds social justice, we cannot remain silent in the face of these disturbing revelations.

Today, as we commemorate the 69th anniversary of Brown v. Board of Education, we are reminded of our nation's ongoing struggle for racial equity. In 1954, this landmark case led the Supreme Court to declare that "separate educational facilities are inherently unequal," thereby making racial segregation in public schools unconstitutional. Despite this significant step forward, our struggle for true equality continues, with systemic inequalities still deeply rooted in our society, particularly in housing. Continue reading

Today, we remember an impactful event in American history: the U.S. Supreme Court ordered the dissolution of the Standard Oil Company on May 15, 1911. This landmark case served as a powerful demonstration of the necessary role of government in regulating business practices for the public good. As we address the current housing crisis in our country, we can draw inspiration from this precedent and fight for the same decisive government action to ensure that "Housing is a Human Right."
