CLICK HERE to send me a text, I'd love to hear what you thought about this episode! Leave your name in the text so I know who it's from! Today's Cream City Digest clears up a little misinformation on the voting process for young people/college students after an egregious text went out on October 10th telling this group of voters that if they violated WI Statutes they could end up in jail or with fines of $10,000. Clearly intimidation, which itself is illegal. So I called on Debra Cronmiller, Executive Director of the League of Women Voters of Wisconsin to help clear this up and share the FACTS. If you have, or know of, a young voter who may have gotten this text, or who may be confused about what they can or can't do, you'll want to share this short Digest. Also in this episode: a sneak peek at what I'll have coming next Wednesday in lieu of a guest, and also a recommendation for something that may help with the anxiety in the run up to the election next week. (Hint: you'll want to be sitting down for both of these!) Locals and Links we love! She Should Run Meditation with Sharon SalzburgFind your (Wisconsin) Municipal Clerk HERE! Acceptable Photo IDsAcceptable Proof of ResidencyElection Day Voting InformationAnd if you're thinking of going canvassing this weekend in a last minute effort to GOTV (Get Out The Vote) … listen to the Cream City Digest on canvassing HERE before you head out! Show your love for Cream City DreamsIf you haven't already, be sure to follow Cream City Dreams on Facebook and Instagram.

Empowering Voters: Understanding Campaign Financing, Fair Districting, and Poll ParticipationBrett and Carol chat with Jen Miller, the Executive Director of the League of Women Voters Ohio, about the nitty-gritty of ballot issues and voting policies.Jen talks about a cool bipartisan effort to draft a new amendment (Issue 1), mentioning notable figures like Maureen O'Connor and Yvette McGee Brown. This amendment has some serious backing from a wide range of groups, including teachers' and nurses' unions, the NAACP, and even the Libertarian Party.The conversation takes a turn towards the topic of dark money in politics, which became a hot issue after the Citizens United decision. Jen underscores the need for transparency so voters know who's funding political ads. She's passionate about ending gerrymandering, believing it would make legislatures more responsive and improve policymaking. Gerrymandering, she argues, kills voter satisfaction and participation.More engagement and compromise in the legislature would tone down extremism and serve citizens better. Jen encourages everyone to get involved in democracy, pointing to resources like vote411.org and voteohio.gov. She also talks about the importance of becoming poll workers and making sure our communities are ready to vote.Jen criticizes gerrymandering for reducing accountability and allowing representatives to focus more on party extremes and big donors rather than a broader voter base. Despite these obstacles, she urges citizens to stay vocal and visit district offices.The League of Women Voters Ohio is highlighted as a diverse organization in terms of age, offering great opportunities for mentorship between older and younger members. Jen gives tips on making voting less intimidating for young voters, like checking registration and polling locations since these frequently change.We talk about Ohio's strict voter ID requirements—now including passports and specific veteran IDs while excluding county veteran IDs. Jen calls for veterans to advocate for changes to these laws. There's also a mention of fewer candidates participating in forums, which reduces chances for voter-candidate interactions. The League organizes forums with a “speed dating” style to let voters meet candidates without heated debates.Jen and Brett discuss the rise of misinformation and the need for consuming diverse media to keep from getting stuck in echo chambers. Brett expresses frustration when candidates don't take forum questions seriously, feeling it reflects poorly on their ability to serve in office. They both mention the impact of gerrymandering on these issues.In Ohio, recent changes to the election process have led to voter dissatisfaction, partly fueled by misinformation from elected officials. Jen suggests voters hold state authorities like the Secretary of State accountable for election integrity. She also lists ways to engage, like attending hearings, contacting election boards, volunteering as poll workers, and using the Election Protection Hotline (866-OUR-VOTE) for any issues.The League of Women Voters is all about fair election practices and doesn't play sides. They've been around since the Ohio Women's Suffrage Association days, focusing on empowering voters, especially women. They operate on national, state, and local levels and rely heavily on volunteers to keep things running smoothly.Jen emphasizes the importance of informed voting and spells out the steps for absentee/mail voters, urging them not to procrastinate. Tips include mailing ballots early and using county dropboxes to avoid delays. She also goes over Ohio's strict ID requirements again, stressing that voters need to check what's valid now.Jen dives deeper into gerrymandering, explaining Issue 1 (OH), which aims to reform the redistricting process. The goal is to keep politicians and lobbyists out, ensure a balanced commission, and...

Despite the recession of the water levels along the Cannon River over the last 24 hours, the City of Northfield and Rice County are still experiencing flood conditions and mitigation efforts are still underway. Many residences and businesses are still working on mitigation efforts. There are many residential and property-owning members of the community just […]

Last night the Cannon River dropped below moderate flood stage for the first time since Saturday afternoon. As the flood recedes, the City of Northfield is planning for what comes next.   On Monday, Mayor Rhonda Pownell declared a State of Emergency in Northfield, and during an emergency meeting on Tuesday, the Northfield City Council voted […]

On May 20, 2024, the Louisville League of Women Voters hosted a forum on Youth Violence in Louisville -- Realities, Interventions and Some Solutions, as part of their Democracy in Action monthly forums. Guest speakers were: Shannon Moody, Ph.D., MSSW, CSW, Chief Policy and Strategy Officer at Kentucky Youth Advocates; Ida Dickie, Ph.D., licensed Clinical Forensic Psychologist, founder of Transformative Justice Mental Health Clinic, and past professor of Psychology at Spalding University; Matt Anderson, Ed.D, Assistant Superintendent for Culture and Climate for JCPS, whose team supports youth experiencing trauma due to violence and victims of violence; Joe Bargione, Ph.D., a licensed psychologist with The BOUNCE Coalition and certified school psychologist; and Kenya Wade, MSSW, a social worker and CEO of Cycle Breakers Breaking Chains Inc, who is a former Vice President of The Political Women's Council of Louisville. The Moderator was Deborah Yetter, journalist who recently retired after 40 years of covering state government, juvenile justice, child welfare & health policy for the Courier-Journal.

In case you have been living under a rock, there is an election on the horizon. So it made sense to sit down with Amanda SubbaRao, the President of the League of Women Voters of Anne Arundel County (LWVAAC), to discuss it. First thing first, the LWVAAC is non-partisan. They are a GREAT resource for everyone so they can make the most informed vote possible--which is often difficult in the all-important down-ballot races. We learned that the LWVAAC is not just for women--anyone can join, and the mission was originally to advance the knowledge of women voting once the 19th amendment was passed. So, guys AND gals--consider joining or supporting. We discussed the races and the tools available for voters. Did you know they have a comparison tool so you can line up two candidates side-by-side like you are buying a TV from Best Buy? Did you know that they have an extensive voter's guide that is available online and in hard copy at all libraries and senior centers in the county? Explore, and become an informed voter! One part of our discussion really resonated with me. Voting is like riding a public transit bus. The bus is not likely to take you to your final destination, but it can take you one step closer. Your candidate will be unlikely to check all of your boxes, but if they can get you a step closer, choose the candidate who will get you closest! Be an informed voter! Mail-in voting is currently underway; early voting begins on May 2nd. The primary day is May 14th. And do have a look at the very important links below! Have a listen!
