May 31st 9:30 am WI State Capitol Save Medicaid, Save BadgerCare Rally! One in five Wisconsinites rely on BadgerCare and other Medicaid programs for life-saving healthcare. Republicans in Congress want to cut federal Medicaid funding, increase work requirements and other eligibility hurdles, and make it harder for Wisconsinites to access the services they need. Wisconsin has an opportunity to protect WI Medicaid funding by opting in to Medicaid expansion - before it’s too late. This would mean a lump sum of nearly one billion dollars for WI Medicaid programs. Republicans in the legislature say they want to keep the status quo, but without medicaid expansion, the status quo actually means that tens of thousands of people will lose their coverage if Wisconsin doesn’t proactively protect them. We are calling on our state government to ensure no Wisconsinite loses access to Medicaid by including Medicaid Expansion in the 2025-2026 state budget, and refusing any new eligibility requirements.

Learning to Live Without Plastics and Why It Matters! – the theme of this month’s hybrid 350 Wisconsin Meeting. What exactly is plastic? Why is it harmful? Why can't it be recycled? How can we as individuals make an imprint on the plastic crisis in our daily lives? Our speaker is Dr. Amanda Lauricella, a classical singer and climate advocate, who has also worked for Green Box Compost and is passionate about reducing individual and collective plastic use and the relationship between plastics and ocean health.

Feb. 19th 6:00 pm Social Justice Center (1202 Williamson St.) They Will Beat the Memory Out of Us: Organization, Continuity, Community – discussion with author and activist, Peter Gelderloos, about his latest book, just out from Pluto Press, as well as his other recent work published by Detritus Books. The first book focuses on two movements: ecological struggle, which in its smartest form is a continuation of anticolonial resistance that has spread and persisted globally over the last 500 years, and in its worst form is a media spectacle centered around naive demands and ineffective reforms; and the anti-police, antiracist rebellions that have caused a sea change in public narratives from 2009 to 2020. The second book deals with the deeper questions that are missed in debates around problems of organization, the lack of continuity in our movements, and a profound misunderstanding of what community entails and how a realistic approach to community could make us stronger with the context being the anarchist movement in Catalunya.
