WILL is defending a Wisconsin mother after the School District of Pittsville, Wisconsin sent the police to her home and threatened her with a potential defamation lawsuit based on her social media post.

WILL issued a statement in support of the Wisconsin State Assembly for passing the “Equality Amendment,” otherwise known as Assembly Joint Resolution 102 (AJR 102). This is a proposed amendment to the Wisconsin Constitution that prohibits state and local governments from discriminating against or granting preferential treatment to individuals or groups based on race, sex, color, ethnicity, or national origin in public employment, public education, public contracting, and public administration.

WILL filed a new Title VI complaint following our continued investigation into race-based practices at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. This second complaint was filed on behalf of our client Young America’s Foundation (YAF), representing thousands of students across the country, including conservative students on the UW-Madison campus.

MPS, a school district with declining enrollment and only 8.1% of Wisconsin's public school population, is getting over 50% of the property tax revenue shift. Why is that? We explain why.

The U.S. Department of Justice has filed a lawsuit against the Wisconsin Election Commission’s (WEC) for refusing to comply with their investigation into the state’s voter rolls. The request from USDOJ was for a copy of Wisconsin’s computerized registration list including information necessary to audit the list for ineligible voters, including driver’s license number and/or the last 4 digits of the social security number. The lawsuit also comes after an investigation from our organization released earlier this year.

In new findings provided to the Trump Administration’s Health and Human Services (HHS) agency, WILL has uncovered that the Center for Disease Control (CDC) uses a race-based criteria to declare whole communities and neighborhoods as “socially vulnerable” based on the number of minorities living there. Cities and states around the country rely on the CDC’s “social vulnerability index” (SVI) to allocate taxpayer funding for parks, drinking water, and disaster assistance.  

WILL has announced Erin Gamble as our new Associate Counsel. Her hire reflects our organization’s commitment to fighting back against bureaucratic overreach in Wisconsin and across the country.
