WORT to broadcast live from the DNC in Chicago
The mighty WORT news crew is at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago this coming week. Together with fellow Pacifica Network affiliates, we’re co-producing a national broadcast from the Lumpen Radio studios in the Bridgeport neighborhood of Chicago.
WORT will carry the coverage live each night. You can catch it from 7-9 pm from Monday, August 19 through Thursday, August 22. This broadcast will be immediately preceded by an extended edition of Democracy Now! from 5-7pm. Keep up with all our coverage via our DNC live blog.
We’ll feature interviews and live reports of protests on the ground, updates from the convention floor, reported pieces from sessions and interviews with delegates, and analysis of issues facing Chicago and the nation as a whole. This coverage will mirror the format of our broadcasts from the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee several weeks ago, which you can find curated at this link.
Our reporting crew for this project has expanded. WORT’s own Faye Parks and Sara Gabler are the projects Senior Reporters/Producers. Carlos Dávalos will also join us to report and produce as he joins WORT as our incoming Spanish Language Fellow. We’ll be working with Lumpen Radio (WLPN-LP), a multilingual community radio station that’s under the umbrella of the Public Media Institute. We’ll also be working with a reporting crew from WZRD 88.3 FM, the student/community radio station of Northeastern Illinois University.

Upcoming Service Changes
There will be two small sets of service updates this Fall. One set will be implemented on Sunday, August 18, with the other set of changes effective later in the Fall with the launch of bus rapid transit.
- Route R1 Adjustment – Re-route R1 to Watts Rd., to reduce duplicative service on Mineral Point (which is already served by Rapid Route A). Route will use Watts to High Point, adding stops along High Point south of Mineral Point Rd. This change also provides increased access to nearby grocery and shopping centers.
- Route 65 Adjustment – To improve on-time performance and increase route reliability, Route 65 will no longer go around the full UW Hospital loop. Instead, it will complete its end-of-the-line layovers on Marsh at Highland, and head southbound/eastbound on Highland and Observatory. Riders transferring from the 65 to Routes A, F or R can now make transfers on University/Johnson at East Campus Mall.
- Route A2 Extended to Hanson Rd. Facility to charge and swap all-electric buses.
- Make the C2 ‘detour’ near Buckeye, Kings Mill and Cottontail a permanent routing change.

Ho-Chunk Flag to Fly Outside the City-County Building
The Ho-Chunk flag will soon hang in perpetuity below the US flag outside the City-County Building in downtown Madison. The City-County Liaison committee, which is comprised of county and city elected officials and staff, voted on August 1 to change operational rules of the building paving the way for the flag to hang.
In March of this year, the Dane County Board approved a resolution to hang the Ho-Chunk flag pending City-County Liaison Committee approval.
The resolution by the County recognized that it “conducts daily operations on land now known and recognized as Dane County, Wisconsin. This land is also the ancestral, traditional, and contemporary land of the Ho-Chunk, Sauk, and Kickapoo nations, where Indigenous people and cultures flourished and established sustainable ways of living based on cooperation among neighbors and respect for the land and for all living creatures.”
Rick Rose, County Board Supervisor from District 16, introduced the resolution and said, “our Board acknowledges its gratitude to the native people of this hemisphere and this region on behalf of all Dane County residents, in recognition of their care for this land, their cultures and ways of being, and their continuing vibrancy and contributions to our civic life. This has been a long time coming.”
Rose indicated he felt this way as well when he introduced legislation aptly approved by the Board and signed by then County Executive Joe Parisi, which included an ordinance amendment codifying Indigenous Peoples’ Day as an official county holiday. Indigenous Peoples’ Day is the second Monday in the month of October.
According to a February 5 Dane County news release, “Dane County (joined) a small handful of counties throughout the country that recognize Indigenous Peoples’ Day as an official paid holiday”. The accompanying piece of that legislation was a resolution celebrating Indigenous Peoples’ Day. The resolution indicated, “that the County Board encourages employees to use the proposed holiday to celebrate and recognize indigenous people and work to make the planet a more welcoming place.”
Rose said he is currently working with the Ho-Chunk Nation on plans for the official flag raising. “I’m sure the indigenous student groups from UW Madison will be a big part of the ceremony as they were a big part of helping me shape these inclusive measures. To all, I’m grateful.”
Along with the go-ahead for the Ho-Chunk flag to hang, the City-County Liaison Committee also approved as part of the building rule changes, the hanging of the following flags:
- The Tibetan Flag, March 10
- The Transgender Pride Flag, March 31
- The Progress Flag, June 1
- The Juneteenth Flag, June 19
- The German Flag, October 1

Sign Up to be an Elections Observer
Help the League of Women Voters of Wisconsin monitor Wisconsin’s elections. We are seeking volunteers to be trained as Election Observers and placed in polling places in specific areas around the state. We provide training, assign volunteers their polling place(s) to observe, and provide volunteers with a reporting form to record their observations. We will do our best to assign you to a location near your home. You don’t need to be a League member to volunteer for this — although we’d love to have you join us!
For the 2024 elections we are focusing the Election Observation Program in the following areas:
- to be sure there is no disenfranchisement
- to monitor the voter experience – including registration and showing ID
- to monitor the absentee ballot counting process
- to track any problems that can be fixed for future elections
Requirements: You’ll need to be available to volunteer for a minimum of 2 hours on Election Day. Election observers will also need a cell phone to use while volunteering and have their own transportation to and from their assigned polling location. There are also opportunities to be a “roving” observer and observe at multiple polling sites. Rovers need to be available to volunteer for at least 4 hours on Election Day.
Training Information: We conduct our election observer training via online webinar.
Learn more about our Election Observation Program here. If you have questions about this volunteer opportunity contact our Voter Education Manager, Eileen Newcomer, at enewcomer@lwvwi.org or (608)256-0827.
Upcoming elections we’re observing:
- November 5, 2024 (Statewide)

County Board Recognized Transgender History Month
From press release from Aug. 15 –
Transgender History Month is a month to recognize the history and contributions of transgender leaders and members of the community, as well as to honor and remember the struggles and achievements of transgender people. It is also an opportunity to affirm the presence of transgender people in the community and throughout the world.
“Solidifying Transgender History Month in Dane County builds upon our commitment to our trans friends that they are safe and welcome here and that we have your back. Honoring our past provides a roadmap to a future where everyone’s identity is honored. By illuminating the struggles and triumphs of our trans ancestors, we pave the way for a more just and equitable world for all,” said County Board Supervisor Rick Rose (District 16).
August was declared Transgender History Month in the City and County of San Francisco in August 2021. Since this time, very few cities and counties have followed. The Board’s recognition at tonight’s meeting underscores the County’s ongoing leadership in the country in recognizing transgender people. In June 2023, the County Board also passed a resolution declaring Dane County a sanctuary for trans and nonbinary individuals.
The resolution at tonight’s meeting highlights the Wisconsin LGBTQ History Project, an organization dedicated to preserving and documenting the history of the LGBTQ community in Wisconsin.
County Board Supervisor Kerry Marren (District 37) said, “I am honored and humbled to be a part of this historical event here in Dane County. Recognizing Transgender History Month is a huge step towards empowering transgender individuals, especially youth, by providing them positive role models and a sense of pride in their identity, and reminding them that they are part of a long and vibrant history of resilience and activism. I hope that seeing their history and contributions celebrated will help to counteract the negative messages and discrimination that transgender people face, and give them a sense of belonging in a community that not only sees them, but celebrates them.”
Live Vape Free Helps Young Adults Reduce or Quit Vaping
Expanded program offers nicotine replacement therapy
The Wisconsin Department of Health Services (DHS) announced today the Wisconsin Tobacco Quit Line has expanded its text-based Live Vape Free program to include young adults ages 18-26. The program supports young Wisconsinites on the path to ending their use of nicotine and vape products and will provide people over age 18 with two weeks of free nicotine replacement therapy if medically eligible.
According to the 2022 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance Survey, nearly one in five Wisconsinites ages 18-24 vape. They account for 34% of current adult e-cigarette users in our state.
“Young adults are the first generation to have been exposed to widespread commercial electronic vaping devices, and we see the impact of that exposure in the number of youth who use vape products today,” said State Health Officer Paula Tran. “By expanding the Live Vape Free program, we can help this age group achieve what they deserve: A life free of nicotine addiction that can harm their physical, mental, and financial health.”

Thurs. Sept. 5th 6:30 pm The Coddling of the American Mind: How Good Intentions and Bad ideas are Setting Up a Generation for Failure – virtual WILPF-Madison Peace and Justice Book Circle discussion. First Amendment expert Greg Lukianoff and social psychologist Jonathan Haidt show how the new problems on campus have their origins in three terrible ideas that have become increasingly woven into American childhood and education: What doesn’t kill you makes you weaker; always trust your feelings; and life is a battle between good people and evil people. These three Great Untruths contradict basic psychological principles about well-being and ancient wisdom from many cultures. Embracing these untruths—and the resulting culture of safetyism—interferes with young people’s social, emotional, and intellectual development. It makes it harder for them to become autonomous adults who are able to navigate the bumpy road of life. To receive Zoom login details, email: wilpfmadison@gmail.com
