This week on 365 Amplified, the team dives into some of Wisconsin’s top stories:
- UnityPoint Health Meriter Nurses Strike: Omar reports from the picket line as nurses strike for better pay, safer staffing, and improved patient care. It’s the first strike of its kind at Meriter, and we break down the stakes, the support, and what might come next. Read Omar’s reporting here and here.
- Madison Mallards Celebrate 25 Years: Nick heads to the Duck Pond to catch the latest in family fun—including a human claw game and zip-line beer delivery—and reflects on the team’s community-first legacy.
- Wisconsin’s New Legislative Asian Caucus: Rob sits down with Reps. Francesca Hong, Angelito Tenorio, and Renuka Mayadev for a first-of-its-kind conversation about visibility, solidarity, and building better policy for Asian American communities across the state.
