#ResolveToVote
There are several ways to increase your "voting knowledge" this election season. The League of Women Voters of the La Crosse Area has those available under the 2025 Elections tab on their home page.
Another good way is to access your personalized ballot on Vote411.org. Candidates questions and answers are posted there so you can compare the candidates and make decisions about whom you want to vote for before going to the polls or filling out your absentee ballot. | Choosing a WI Supreme Court Justice

Improving Civic Health |  | Civic health is the manner in which communities come together to define and address public problems. Whether the issue is affordable housing, decreased funding for schools, an aging population, failing infrastructure, or racial inequities, the problems are big, complicated and not easily solved. Further, individuals within communities may have different views on, and be affected differently, by the issues. Is the civic health where we live strong enough to help our community do the hard work that needs to be done?
Asking and considering this question has never been more important as it is in 2025, when we see record levels of public distrust in key institutions, polarization among our community members, decline in local media, and serious questions about the strength of democracy worldwide.
Speaker Information: Mary Beth Collins (JD, MA) is the Executive Director of the UW-Madison Center for Community and Nonprofit Studies.

February 24, 2025 - 6:30 to 8 PM | 1860: As the clash between the states rolls slowly to a boil, Elizabeth Packard, housewife and mother of six, is facing her own battle. The enemy sits across the table and sleeps in the next room. Her husband of twenty-one years is plotting against her because he feels increasingly threatened - by Elizabeth's intellect, independence, and unwillingness to stifle her own thoughts. So Theophilus makes a plan to put his wife back in her place. One summer morning, he has her committed to an insane asylum.
