It was a hard decision to decide to send our kids back to school during a pandemic, however from the start we knew we made the right decision. Since returning to Sonlight Y [Early Childhood Education Center] in June we have always felt safe with the precautions taken to protect everyone. Most importantly our children have flourished during a time that have left many feeling frustrated and uneasy. Our oldest has not only developed better social skills, some lost during shutdown, but has also started to learn how to write the alphabet and even her own name, while our youngest has started walking, using sign language, and talking like crazy. These milestones could not have happened without the hard work of everyone at Sonlight Y. Sonlight Y is like a part of our family and we could not be happier with our choice to continue to attend here. Thanks, Aaron and Krissi Dean – YMCA of Metro Milwaukee 7 2020 HIGHLIGHTS GRANTS & FUNDING Paycheck Protection Program Funding/Employee Retention Credit $17,166,500 received by 27 associations Department of Children & Families Funding $1,475,300 received by 16 associations Self-Funded Unemployment (50% state/50% federal) $1,246,985 claimed 8 2020 HIGHLIGHTS CONNECTIONS ACROSS THE ALLIANCE Y Leaders from around the state have been participating on over 135 conference calls.

Gave people something positive to focus on.” “Gave me a reason to not hide in the basement.” “Wonderful idea - keep doing these sort of challenges and activities - so motivating for the community! A healthy community is a happy community.” “I'm so proud to say my blood pressure is excellent, I lost 17 lbs. I needed to mark my chart daily, the reconnection during Covid-19 helped to me return to the YMCA and not make any excuses. Love feeling good and being in peace with me.” We partnered with our local library to do a “Walk and Read” families were encouraged to “take a walk” to outside to read / look at pictures from a book. The book pages were laminated and mounted in the ground. We intentionally selected a book that encourage empathy, diversity, and inclusion while promoting literacy and physical activity. Then each child who participated received a free book! We also had our local kayaking group still kayaking in our open water. 15 THANK YOU, GOVERNOR EVERS!

  • January 7Th, 2021 DELIVERED ELECTRONICALLY Vice President
    January 7th, 2021 DELIVERED ELECTRONICALLY Vice President Pence: The events of January 6th, 2021 will be remembered as a dark day in American history. What the country, and the world, witnessed was insurrection. Rather than accepting the results of a free and fair election, extremists stormed the United States Capitol in an attempt to overturn President-elect Joe Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris’ victory. These were not the organic actions of a few extreme supporters. It was a siege orchestrated and encouraged by the president to throw chaos into our democratic institutions in a desperate attempt to cling to power. Let us be clear, as long as President Trump is in office, the future of our republic is in danger. Every leader in our nation must stand up and acknowledge that now is the hour we must draw the line in the sand and remove President Trump from office before further damage is done. We also want to acknowledge the work being done by the Democratic members of Wisconsin’s Congressional delegation in their support for our nation’s laws and the principles of our democracy. Since November, the president has promoted conspiracy theories, lied countless times about the results of the election, and pursued legal action to overturn the will of the people. This culminated with yesterday’s actions at the Capitol with individuals determined to cause harm in a domestic terror attack on the most significant symbol of our system of self-government. Those responsible must be held to account under federal law. Today, we are calling on you to use your authority as Vice President to invoke the 25th Amendment immediately to ensure a peaceful transition of power and to save our nation.

See the full list of endorsers on the next page. "Dr. Jill Underly is a steadfast champion of our public schools. Her platform is rooted in equity and her mission to provide every child in Wisconsin the high-quality public education they deserve regardless of their race, ability, gender, orientation, or socio-economic status,” said Sen. LaTonya Johnson (D-Milwaukee). “I know that Jill is the right choice for this important job and I'm proud to endorse her." “I urge everyone to get out and vote for Jill Underly for State Superintendent of Public Instruction,” said Sen. Janet Bewley (D-Mason). “Jill’s lifelong dedication to public education as a teacher, administrator, UW advisor, and as Superintendent of Pecatonica, as well as her previous work with the Department of Public Instruction make her an ideal candidate for this position.” “Dr. Jill Underly has dedicated her life to public education with over 20 years of experience in every facet of public education. Jill has the experience and perspective we need in our next State Superintendent.” said former Sen.

Anti-Voter Bills Bruce Murphy, the editor of Urban Milwaukee, was kind enough to Page 3 applaud our work. He noted that the data we compile on campaign Tourism Lobby Weighs In contributions is unassailable and easy for journalists to use. He also Out of State $ complimented our advocacy: “We would have less democracy and less Gilkes’ Favor to Walker transparency” if we weren’t around, he said. State Rep. Francesca Hong got serious fast. “We have obstructionist Republicans in Wisconsin working more toward fascism than democracy,” she said, right off the top. She assailed the “complacency” in the State Capitol, and acknowledged that it’s a “frustrating and incredibly racist” place to work. But she added: “Through people power, we can fight back.” For my part, I noted that the past year was a year to forget, but that we can’t forget it, and that we must remember how close we came to losing our democracy on Jan. 6. There are powerful people in Washington and in Wisconsin who want us to forget, or worse, want us to June/July 2021 mis-remember what we saw with our very own eyes. Edition No. 125 I pledge to you, we’re not going to let anyone normalize the anti- democracy movement.

  • S/L Sign on Letter Re: Rescue Plan State/Local
    February 17, 2021 U.S. House of Representatives Washington, D.C. 20515 U.S. Senate Washington, D.C. 20510 Dear Members of Congress: As elected leaders representing communities across our nation, we are writing to urge you to take immediate action on comprehensive coronavirus relief legislation, including desperately needed funding for states, counties, cities, and schools, and an increase in states’ federal medical assistance percentage (FMAP). President Biden’s ambitious $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan will go a long way towards alleviating the significant financial strain COVID-19 has placed on our states, counties, cities, and schools, and the pocketbooks of working families. Working people have been on the frontlines of this pandemic for nearly a year and have continued to do their jobs during this difficult time. Dedicated public servants are still leaving their homes to ensure Americans continue to receive the essential services they rely upon: teachers and education workers are doing their best to provide quality education and keep their students safe, janitors are still keeping parks and public buildings clean, while healthcare providers are continuing to care for the sick. Meanwhile, it has been ten months since Congress passed the CARES Act Coronavirus Relief Fund to support these frontline workers and the essential services they provide. Without significant economic assistance from the federal government, many of these currently-middle class working families are at risk of falling into poverty through no fault of their own. It is a painful irony that while many have rightly called these essential workers heroes, our country has failed to truly respect them with a promise to protect them and pay them throughout the crisis.

  • Wisconsin State Legislature Decreases License Suspension for Non Safety-Related Monetary Judgements
    For Immediate Release: February 18, 2016 Contact: Nichole Yunk Todd, 414-343-3581, [email protected] WISCONSIN STATE LEGISLATURE DECREASES LICENSE SUSPENSION FOR NON SAFETY-RELATED MONETARY JUDGEMENTS Madison, WI – Today, the Wisconsin State Assembly approved a bipartisan measure that will change the maximum length of a driver’s license suspension for failure to pay a forfeiture (“FPF”) from two years to one. The bill passed in the state senate earlier this month and is now headed to Governor Walker. According to Wisconsin Department of Transportation data, FPF suspensions represent nearly 60% of all reasons for license suspension or revocation in the state at over 235,000. The second highest category is only 12%. Two-year FPF suspensions are longer than many safety-related suspensions, including first and second offense Operating While Intoxicated (OWI), reckless driving, and the accumulation of over 31 demerit points within just one year. The courts will still collect what they are owed as defendants who have monetary judgements earn income. The Wisconsin Department of Revenue collected over $21 million dollars for the courts in 2014 through its efficient Tax Refund Intercept Program (TRIP). The authors of the bill include Senators Jerry Petrowski (R-Marathon) and Nikiya Harris Dodd (D- Milwaukee) and Representatives John Spiros (R-Marshfield) and Cory Mason (D- Racine). Senator Petrowski championed the effort: “This common sense bill will help make sure people can get to work so they can pay their debts and continue to support themselves and their families.” The bill was also endorsed by key system stakeholders as a way to better focus our limited resources, including the Wisconsin Chiefs of Police Association, Wisconsin Trial Judges Association, Wisconsin District Attorneys Association, Wisconsin Public Defender, and Wisconsin Insurance Alliance.

    Dear Member / Guardians, A Bill to provide free online training for guardians (LTB 0143/1) is out for co-sponsorship (see summary below). The co-sponsorship deadline is Monday February 8th. If this issue is important to you, call or e-mail your State Senator and State Representative (look up who are my legislators) by February 8th to see if they will co-sponsor LRB 0143/1. This bill is being reintroduced as it passed the Assembly last year with a broad bi-partisan list of co-sponsors. However, the bill did not make to the Governor's desk before the end of last legislative session. In this legislative session, we are looking for more co-sponsors for this Bill. We have a strong list of lead authors, if your state senator or representative is listed below, they are already on the bill. We encourage you to thank them for their support. • Sen. André Jacque • Sen. Kathy Bernier • Sen. Van Wanggaard • Sen. Patrick Testin • Sen. LaTonya Johnson • Sen. Janet Bewley • Sen. Brad Pfaff • Rep. Shannon Zimmerman • Rep. Barb Dittrich • Rep. Jessie Rodriguez • Rep. Beth Meyers Quick bill summary: This bill will provide guardians plain language training and support. It provides free online training to family and volunteer guardians about their role, responsibilities, and other important features of Wisconsin’s guardianship law before they are appointed. • Many family members who become a guardian do not fully understand what a guardian’s role, responsibilities, and administrative duties are under Wisconsin law. Frequently, guardians feel overwhelmed, unprepared, isolated, and unsupported. continued • The bill will provide free accessible web-based training for potential and current guardians without increasing work for the courts or counties.

  • Of 2 January 15, 2021 the Honorable Tony Evers Governor of Wisconsin
    January 15, 2021 The Honorable Tony Evers Governor of Wisconsin State Capitol, Room 115 East Dear Governor Evers, As you know, CVS and Walgreens are partnering with the CDC to distribute COVID-19 vaccines to residents of nursing homes in Wisconsin. As the vaccine becomes more widely available to the public, we request that you explore all options for including vaccine distribution through locally owned and operated pharmacies. The timely distribution of these vaccines will require an all hands on deck approach. While emergency authorization of these vaccines by the FDA includes restrictions on distribution, waivers are frequently sought when they are necessary and prudent. Any exclusion of locally owned pharmacies will hurt small business, which will cause significant long term harm to Wisconsin’s economic recovery and long term health. Even more critically, excluding small pharmacies from this critical work will hamper vaccine distribution across our state. Many people, particularly in rural and urban communities, may be more likely to get the vaccine if it can be administered by a familiar face at a local pharmacy instead of through a big box store. We urge you to do all you can to ensure locally owned pharmacies are included in our state’s fight against this disease. Sincerely, Rep. Dave Murphy Rep. Janel Brandtjen Rep. Rachael Cabral-Guevara 56th Assembly District 22nd Assembly District 55th Assembly District Rep. Calvin Callahan Rep. Barbara Dittrich Rep. James Edming 35th Assembly District 38th Assembly District 87th Assembly District Page 1 of 2 Rep. Rick Gundrum Rep. Joel Kitchens Rep.
