For the sixth year in a row, the Juneteenth flag is flying high above Wisconsin’s Capitol. Gov. Tony Evers says it’s a symbol of freedom—and a reminder that the fight for equity and justice is far from over.
He also proclaimed June 19 as Juneteenth across the state, calling on the people of Wisconsin to reflect, celebrate, and recommit to building a better future for everyone.
Juneteenth celebrates the end of slavery in the U.S. It marks June 19, 1865, when the last enslaved people in Texas learned they were free—over two years after the Emancipation Proclamation.
Attendee’s sang along to “Lift Every Voice and Sing,” known as the Black National Anthem. It’s a powerful hymn that represents hope, unity, and the ongoing fight for justice and equality in America.

Capitol? Packed. Protest? Peaceful. Message? LOUD🚫👑 The people of Wisconsin showed up in force in Madison for ‘No Kings Day.’ An estimated 15,000 people marched from Library Mall to the Wisconsin State Capitol on Saturday, filling the streets with signs and chants.
The protest was part of a nationwide movement in response to President Trump's authoritarianism.
The protests remained civil and peaceful, with city police reporting just three arrests in relation to minor vandalism.

Each year for her birthday, Heather Martell puts out a call asking for donations to an organization that has played a “life-saving” role in her life: Planned Parenthood.
Heather has a history of complicated reproductive health issues and says the doctors, nurses, and social workers at Planned Parenthood have always been caring, considerate, and helpful in her decision-making and connections over the years—from answering everyday health questions to getting her the help she needed when she was miscarrying and hemorrhaging for days.
Republican vice presidential nominee JD Vance says if Donald Trump returns to the White House, the Trump administration would defund Planned Parenthood—largely because of the reproductive health care organizations’ support of abortion rights.
For years, Republicans in Wisconsin’s state legislature and in Congress have tried to take away this access to health care.
Planned Parenthood leaders in the state say when these lawmakers talk about “defunding” their organization, they really mean blocking patients, many who depend on public health care funding like Medicaid, from getting necessary health care.

Women wouldn’t have to go to the doctor to get birth control. 💊
That’s if a bipartisan bill that would allow pharmacists to prescribe pills and patches can pass the Wisconsin Senate.
Now, under state law, people have to get a hormonal birth control prescription from their doctor.
