Hi there,

It is the job of the press to cover power, not cover for power—to hold those in power accountable by documenting what's happening on the ground and amplifying voices at the grassroots. In this critical moment, as attacks on the media escalate, we must continue to cover crackdowns on dissent, immigrants, the LGBTQ+ community, public health and academic freedom. Thanks to a group of generous donors, all donations made today will be DOUBLED, which means your $15 gift is worth $30. If our journalism is important to you, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

More than 300 people assembled Saturday on the Capitol steps in Madison, Wisconsin. They gathered together to affirm the legacy of Dr. King’s dream and to celebrate his life. The KKK had planned to rally on the Capitol steps on the same day but cancelled their event in the face of mass public disapproval.

Guests:

  • James Cameron, survivor of a 1930 Klan lynching. He is the founder and president of America’s Black Holocaust Museum in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Call: 414.264.2500.
  • Phil Wilayto, coordinator of Jobs Are a Right Campaign and author of the report “The Feeding Trough: The Bradley Foundation, the Bell Curve and the Real Story Behind W-2, Wisconsin’s National Model for Welfare Reform.” Call: 414.374.1034.
