  • 4 Independent Political Action
    Solidarity Political Basis of Unity: Suggested Bibliography #4 Independent Political Action In the labor and social movements, we call for political independence and a break from the two-party system. The Democratic and Republican parties are dominated by corporations and merely offer different flavors of pro-war and pro-business policies. These capitalist parties maintain a stranglehold on politics in the United States and offer only dead ends for working class and oppressed people. The Democrats in particular have functioned as a trap for organized labor and as the graveyard of social movements. We argue against engagement in the “lesser evil” approach of working with the Democratic Party, which tends over the long term to push the overall political climate to the right. We argue, instead, for the political independence of movements. When possible, we support third parties and independent candidacies that stand on these principles. Our long-term strategic goal is the construction of a mass party that can champion workers’ interests independently of the two-party system. Draft Revision 1, September 2014 Socialists as well as working-class and social movement activists have attempted to build independent parties for more than 100 years. The renewed interest in campaigning for socialist and community candidates stands on that tradition. In the past, those efforts were unable to break through at a national level and several were incorporated into the Democratic Party. Today, election laws, the amount of money necessary to build a campaign and the emphasis on campaigning through the media have raised the stakes against independent political action. Current Initiatives Solidarity is Prioritizing The Green Party campaign for governor/lieutenant governor in New York State is important for the issues it is raising.

  • County Board Referrals to Committee - Board Year 2010-2011
    COUNTY BOARD REFERRALS TO COMMITTEE - BOARD YEAR 2010-2011 ORD. AMDT. 2, 10-11 AMENDING CHAPTER 11 OF THE DANE COUNTY CODE OF ORDINANCES, REGARDING FEE EXEMPTIONS FOR MUNICIPAL ROAD MAINTENANCE PROJECTS The County Board of Supervisors of the County of Dane does ordain as follows: ARTICLE 1. Unless otherwise expressly stated herein, all references to section and chapter numbers are to those of the Dane County Code of Ordinances. ARTICLE 2. Subsection 11.50(5) is amended to read as follows: 11.50 PERMIT FEES. (5) Municipal street and road maintenance projects are exempt from fees required in this section. [EXPLANATION: This amendment conforms this subsection to s. 14.55(7) and clarifies that the permit fee exemption is intended to apply only to road maintenance projects and not road construction projects.] Submitted by Supervisors Jensen, Downing, Bruskewitz and Duranczyk, May 6, 2010. Referred to PERSONNEL/FINANCE, PUBLIC WORKS & TRANSPORTATION and ENVIRONMENT, AGRICULTURE & NATURAL RESOURCES. --------------- RES. 1, 10-11 APPROVING LEASE WITH FRIENDS OF SCHUMACHER FARM AT SADDLEBROOK BARN IN WESTPORT In 2007 Dane County acquired approximately 172 acres of land in the Town of Westport from Saddlebrook LLC for the North Mendota Natural Resource Area. The property included several buildings that are used by the Sheriff’s Department and the Land & Water Resources Department. The property is relatively close to Schumacher Farm, a County property used as a park and as a demonstration area of farming practices from the early 1900s. The Friends of Schumacher Farm, a volunteer group that helps maintain and manage Schumacher Farm, indicated a desire to use a two-story hay barn, which is not being used by either the Sheriff’s Department or the Land & Water Resources Department, for the storage of historical farming equipment and other objects associated with the farm-park.

They are now without a party and the only genuine Democratic Party in the field is the Socialist Party, and every true Democrat should thank Wall Street for driving him out of a party that is democratic in name only, and into one that is democratic in fact.âEuros ThatâEuros"s the kind of appeal that Jill Stein of the Green Party (www.jill2016.com) is making in 2016 to Bernie Sanders supporters who are chilled at the prospect of voting for Hillary Clinton. More than in most presidential cycles, there is reason to hope for a mass breakaway in 2016. SandersâEuros" campaign has revealed that a mass base exists now for an independent party of the left. For decades, public opinion polling has shown majority support for policies like universal public health insurance, fair trade, higher minimum wages, paid family leave, expanded Social Security benefits, Wall Street regulation, renewable energy, infrastructure spending, public campaign finance and progressive taxation.

  • Will Baker Morgan Ludtke Dan Puerling Dave Roberts Madison State of Mind: Demographics and Urban Form on State Street
    Will Baker Morgan Ludtke Dan Puerling Dave Roberts Madison State of Mind: Demographics and Urban Form on State Street Abstract The 500 block of State Street, in downtown Madison, Wisconsin, is currently undergoing a radical landscape change through the construction of a new high rise apartment complex called “The Hub”. This study seeks to discover why changes in the built environment of State Street occur and specifically investigates the relationship between the demographics in the immediate vicinity and the built environment of State Street. Demographic data provided by the census website Social Explorer, built environment data provided by the city directories of Madison, and survey data provided by a range of survey respondents reveal that contrary to what is typically found in literature, the built environment of State Street does not appear to be driven by demographics, or vice versa. Rather there are signs that time, and not demographics, seem to be the driving force for the built environment on State Street. As time passes, popular culture changes with it. In turn State Street business adapt to popular demand. Introduction State Street is an iconic street. Those who do not reside within Madison know about and visit State Street when they are in the area. Those who do live in Madison have unique perceptions of State Street. It means different things to everyone. The recent construction on the street that connects the University of Wisconsin Madison to the State Capitol, notably on the 100 and 500 blocks, have stirred up these emotions and brought about suggestions and subsequent changes to the construction plans.

  • A Racial Reckoning of a Progressive Ideology in Public Discourse
    International Journal of Communication 12(2018), 4689–4707 1932–8036/20180005 A Racial Reckoning of a Progressive Ideology in Public Discourse SUE ROBINSON1 University of Wisconsin–Madison, USA Applying racial formation theory, this research argues that when the political progressive ideology becomes the status quo, it loses its focus on “reform” and “progress” toward equity. Critical discourse analysis of media texts reveals how the ideology evolved into a “racial project” perpetuating institutional racism. When a moment of racial reckoning is presented to challenge the hegemonic politics in this case study, politicians, journalists, and engaged citizens employ discursive strategies to uncover privileges, call out (dis)trusting relationships, and reclaim the dominant narrative around what reform and progress look like. This work demonstrates how political communication unfolds when a progressively maintained infrastructure is revealed to be a system of oppression and where digital platforms allow for a substantial challenge. Keywords: race, digital technologies, discourse, political communication, progressive, media, trust Reform of institutions and an interrogation of power abuse, social inequities, and political fraud serve as bedrock for the politically “progressive” ideology, still practiced more than a century after its formal birth (Aldridge, 2007; Schafer, 2001). Since the 1890s, progressives have championed improvements to public schools, government safety nets, labor laws, and the environment based on advancements (aiming for “progress”) in thought and practice. Race in particular has long been a topic of discussion in politically progressive circles, although some have criticized the stance for being racist because of its insistence on reform of existing institutions rather than revolution (Schafer, 2001; Snyder, 2015).
