2024 Election ignores climate & healthcare crisis

Battleground Wisconsin

Early voting is now underway, as Trump/Vance and Harris/Walz crisscross the battleground states, including Wisconsin. The first day of early voting saw record turnout of over 100,000 voters this Tuesday. We encourage our listeners to volunteer in Citizen Action’s final voter contact activities on phones and doors talking directly to targeted voters we need to win. In spite of 2 historic hurricanes and warming temperatures, Climate change as an issue is the worst casualty of the 2024 election season. We discuss why and its impact. The second most ignored issue in the 2024 election is the current hospital and health system crisis hitting our communities. We discuss how the hospital closure crisis is hitting the Madison area as another health system merger is announced with Marshfield Clinic Health System & Sanford Health combining. We close by welcoming Milwaukee Area Technical College educator Luz Sosa to discuss the discrimination Latinos are experiencing at MATC and how it connects to Act 10 and not properly funding public education in Wisconsin.
