Please join us during August and September at weekly recurring "Moral Monday" street rallies in Hudson WI.

Please join us in opposing cuts to essential safety net programs!

Our August “Moral Monday” street rallies will continue through September in Downtown Hudson, on Mondays September 8, 15, 22, and 29, from 4PM to 6PM, at the intersection of Second and Vine Streets, where we will hold signs and stand along the public sidewalks.

Folks may join for part or all the two hours, and may bring their own signs or use signs we’ll have to share.

If the weather is bad—hard rain, high wind, and/or lightening—we’ll cancel that week’s rally.

Our "Moral Monday" street rallies are inspired and informed by work of the prominent North Carolina pastor and anti-poverty activist the Rev. William Barber, who founded the Center for Public Theology and Public Policy at Yale and now teaches there.

Rev. Barber has prayed against the Republican-passed "Big Beautiful Bill Act" while in the Rotunda of our US Capitol because it hurts poor people to benefit rich people. He has noted: “Forty-three percent of women and almost half of all children are poor and low income. Somebody ought to say something … Somebody gotta challenge this budget.”

We are holding "Moral Monday" street rallies to voice our challenges.

We oppose the Republican-adopted federal budget resolutions that harm the poorest and most vulnerable of Americans in order to give trillions in tax breaks to the richest and most privileged of Americans.

We oppose cuts to health research, education, housing assistance, community development, child care, and other federal programs for needy veterans, the elderly, and children.

These funding cuts are not just bad public policy choices.

These funding cuts are morally wrong.

Please join with us to "say something".
