A major new report from the progressive One Wisconsin Institute finds that the right-wing Bradley Foundation spent more than $108 million, working with 130 partner groups, to privatize public schools in Wisconsin between 2005 and 2014. During the same period, the state’s public schools experienced dramatic budget cuts.
The labor-community organization A Job Is A Right Campaign also exposed Bradley through a variety of reports, articles and a protest at the Bradley headquarters in August 1997.

Ogichidaa Mawansomag will be standing with Tribal Leaders, Elders and others to protect our Cultural Resources and Mounds from a proposed bill which will allow current and future protected sites to be disturbed and excavated.
This not only affects our local sites, but STATE WIDE. If successful, the repercussions would surely spread to other states.
Once again, we are calling for staffs, voices, hand drums and signs for a peaceful gathering to show our lawmakers they can not desecrate our sites and remove our People from the ground they rest in. Please make every effort to be a part of this large gathering…….. More information to be posted by the hosts shortly.
We will meet at an ancient mound in Lake Park, and hear from UWM American Indian Studies faculty about burial mounds and effigy mounds. Though under threat, these important cultural and historical sites remain a powerful presence in our region. After a brief greeting and information sharing, we will hold a message for the earth as we Fight With Light.

Over New Year’s weekend, agents with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) carried out raids in Georgia, North Carolina, Maryland, and Texas targeting Central American refugees ordered removed by an immigration judge in deeply flawed hearings where their constitutional rights were denied.
On Thursday, January 7 Voces de la Frontera and the New Sanctuary Movement of Milwaukee lead a protest at the ICE office downtown Milwaukee (310 E. Knapp St.) in support of refugee community members and calling on ICE to stop the raids. Stay tuned for upcoming Know Your Rights Workshop and other resources for community self-defense.
If you or anyone you know is affected by these raids, please call Voces at 414-643-1620. Voces de la Frontera New Sanctuary Movement Milwaukee
