Support Our Cause

Thank you for taking the time to read our work. Before you go, we hope you'll consider supporting our values-driven journalism, which has always strived to make clear what's really at stake for Wisconsinites and our future.

Since day one, our goal here at UpNorthNews has always been to empower people across the state with fact-based news and information. We believe that when people are armed with knowledge about what's happening in their local, state, and federal governments—including who is working on their behalf and who is actively trying to block efforts aimed at improving the daily lives of Wisconsin families—they will be inspired to become civically engaged.

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.

This WI Mom Had Her Baby With the Help of Planned Parenthood

This WI Mom Had Her Baby With the Help of Planned Parenthood

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.
