Juneteenth reminds us that the fight for Black freedom & liberation is far from over. Together, we can build a Wisconsin where Black communities can thrive free from fear & injustice, and where all families have the support they need. @OurWisconsinRev @ForOurFutureWI

But the fight for true freedom is ongoing.” Between the two blocks of text are five screenshots of headlines that read “A third of the Congressional Black Caucus could lose seats amid redistricting fight; Wisconsin’s Black babies, moms die at ‘shameful’ rates, lawmaker says; Report: Racial disparities in Wisconsin prisons among the nation’s highest; Black Democrats accuse Republicans of using redistricting to create ‘Jim Crow 2.0’; Responding to Inequalities: How redlining still impacts Milwaukee nearly 100 years later”

Milwaukee is home to one of the oldest Juneteenth celebrations in the U.S. WI's Black history is powerful. As communities across the state uplift Black freedom, joy, & culture, learn more about the history that shapes WI: bit.ly/abhmuseum @ForOurFutureWI @OurWisconsinRev

We must provide our children with an honest & accurate education that teaches them both the good & bad of our history. But today, MAGA Republicans want to block essential lessons on confronting injustice & erase important Black history like Juneteenth from textbooks.

Trans kids deserve the freedom to learn, live, & play without interference from extremists who want to control how we live. As politicians use our children as political pawns, we must reject their division & fight for every child’s future & dreams.

While Republicans in Congress cut funding for Medicaid & SNAP, Trump’s war in Iran is costing taxpayers billions of dollars that should be used to fund healthcare & food assistance for our families. Tell Republicans like Tom Tiffany to fund our lives, not more war: 202-224-3121

Wisconsinites want to be able to care for our families at home, not fund endless wars that drive up everyday costs & destroy families abroad. Enough is enough. Demand Republicans in Congress like Tom Tiffany stand up to Trump & take action at 202-224-3121.

Enough is enough. Congress must act.”
