The United States, the richest country on earth, has more poverty than any other advanced democracy. Why? Why does this land of plenty allow one in every eight of its children to go without basic necessities, permit scores of its citizens to live and die on the streets, and authorize its corporations to pay poverty wages?

 

Executive Director, Lee Rasch and Board President, Rusty Cunningham, will engage in an informative conversation about the partnerships, as well as the organizational plans and activities in this high-profile year.

The League of Women Voters of the La Crosse Area (LWVLA) will hold a School Board Candidate Forum via ZOOM, livestreamed on the League's YouTube channel and available to view later. LWVLA members will serve as moderator and timekeeper.

Candidates:
Bob Gollnick
Matt Knebes

League members will visit the refuge and celebrate 100 years of wildlife preservation on the Mississippi. A century ago, a monumental movement of determined citizens petitioned Congress to create the largest "wild-life preserve" ever in order to save their favorite upper Mississippi River backwaters from being drained and converted to farmland. The Refuge stretches 261 river miles from Wabasha, Minnesota to Rock Island, Illinois, protecting over 240,000 acres of Mississippi River floodplain. The Refuge hosts over 3.7 million annual visits for hunting, fishing, wildlife observation, and other recreation.

Presenter Information:
Hallie Schulz has worked for the US Fish and Wildlife Service for 20 years as a “Refuge Ranger” at various sites and has been with the Upper Miss River Refuge for 8 years. Her passion is all about connecting visitors with the resource and
encouraging recreation on your public lands.
