Evers withdraw Wisconsin from this lawsuit when he took office.

MADISON — Gov. Tony Evers today released the following statement regarding the Supreme Court of the United States’ decision in California v. Texas, an effort supported by Republicans to gut the Affordable Care Act and protections for 2.4 million Wisconsinites who have pre-existing conditions. In 2019, Gov. Evers kept his promise to withdraw Wisconsin from the lawsuit after being sworn in as governor.

“I was proud to deliver on my promise to withdraw from this lawsuit and protect healthcare access for the 2.4 million Wisconsinites who have pre-existing conditions,” said Gov. Evers. “Healthcare isn’t just for the healthy and wealthy, and today’s decision is a critically important victory for our work to make sure everyone has access to quality, affordable healthcare coverage.”

Effort to rename Milwaukee County’s Lindbergh Park after community leader and activist Lucille Berrien would strip the current name of the park from a vocal white supremacist and Nazi-sympathizer.

MILWAUKEE - This week, AFSCME Wisconsin’s Milwaukee Public Employees Organized to Promote Legislative Equality (PEOPLE) Committee endorsed support for the campaign to rename Milwaukee County’s Lindbergh Park after community leader and activist Lucille Berrien. Milwaukee PEOPLE joins the Milwaukee Alliance Against Racist and Political Repression in its efforts to strip the current name of the park from Charles Lindbergh, a vocal white supremacist and Nazi-sympathizer.

Berrien is a lifelong activist, community leader, and foster mother. At ninety-three years old, Berrien has a proud history of championing civil rights and social justice. Berrien was the first African American woman to run for Milwaukee Mayor and is a founder of the Milwaukee Alliance Against Racist and Political Repression.

Milwaukee PEOPLE joins the Milwaukee Alliance Against Racist and Political Repression in asking that the $9,000.00 cost of the park be drawn from the excessive overtime budget for the Milwaukee County Sheriff’s deputies.
