Episode Synopsis

To discuss Charlie Sykes’ last radio show this week, and his racist legacy of dividing and conquering for the benefit of right-wing politicians, we welcome special guest Mike Browne, the Deputy Director for One Wisconsin Now. We celebrate the successful launch of Citizen Action Organizing Cooperative’s Radio-Active Campaign with it’s new lead organizer, Terri Williams. We also discuss Gov. Walker’s support for a Constitutional Convention to amend the U.S. Constitution; threats by right-wing Legislators to cut UW-Madison funding in retaliation for professor's course on race and white privilege; small steps by WEDC to address Citizen Action's concerns about outsourcing; and Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke's response to Congresswoman Gwen Moore's call for a federal investigation into 4 deaths at the jail he runs.
