This week on UpNorthNews Radio, we heard from state representatives Kristina Shelton and Francesca Hong about their Economic Justice Bill of Rights proposal. Afterward, on Hometown Health, Dr. Kristin Lyerly introduced us to Sara Finger of the Wisconsin Alliance for Women's Health. Finally, we round out the hour with a visit from Todd Allbaugh of the conveniently named Todd Allbaugh Show.
In this week’s Hometown Health segment, Dr. Kristin Lyerly introduces us to a group helping people navigate their infertility concerns and seek better connections to necessary resources. Also, state Reps. Kristina Shelton and Francesca Hong discuss their Economic Justice Bill of Rights proposal and other updates from the Legislature.
State Assembly Reps. Francesca Hong & Kristina Shelton have been doing some research on the “new” CRT that you’ll be hearing about in the coming months. The people who smeared teaching an honest and full account of American history now want to vilify those who want to invest in companies that are conscientious about not polluting or cheating their workers or doing business with some shady actors.
In the first half hour, Representative Kristina Shelton joins to talk about her and Rep. Fran Hong's experience at the ALEC conference. She warns that the new CRT is yet another acronym, ESG.
Then Sherrie Tussler, Executive Director of Hunger Task Force, joins to warn us about the impending food insecurity crisis coming now that the extra FoodShare benefits are ending March 1st.
Our “meet the candidates” interviews continue; this time with three women running in northeast Wisconsin: Jane Benson, Hannah Beauchamp-Pope, and State Rep. Kristina Shelton. Also: Right wing media goes fully racist in the way it grotesquely distorts remarks from Vice President Kamala Harris on hurricane relief and the climate crisis.
