This week, more community leaders are calling for Alder Charles Myadze to resign from the Madison Common Council, Black Student Unions from across Dane County came together last week, Centro Hispano is opening its new building, and Rob went to Appleton to catch the eighth annual Fox Connect student pitch competition. Plus, Rep.

“Crazy ideas go far.” Plus, State Rep Jimmy Anderson

The Madison Common Council met Tuesday for the first time since we reported allegations of domestic abuse against one of its members – allegations he has repeatedly denied. This week, we have a recap of that meeting, which included some contentious discussion of a resolution of support for survivors of domestic abuse. We also get updates on the next chapter for beloved Vietnamese restaurant Ha Long Bay, and Mt. Zion Baptist Church’s new building project. Plus, Yee Leng Xiong joins us from Marathon County to get us up to speed on his campaign to become the first Hmong American member of the Wisconsin State Assembly.

On today’s edition, we round up a few stories from the week: the state files a lawsuit against an employer accused of firing employees when they organized; a Madisonian is a finalist for a Hugo Award; and a County Board supervisor says “sin is the root cause” of homelessness.

University of Wisconsin Multicultural Student Center director Claudia Guzman joins the show to help us celebrate the 35th anniversary of the MSC’s beginning within the Wisconsin Union. She also has an announcement – the Wisconsin Union and MSC teamed up to create a special limited edition Mini Terrace Chair – a tiny version of the iconic furniture found in only one place in the world. She and our cohost Stephanie (who helped on the design of the chairs, among other things related to the anniversary) talk about the inspiration for this specific design. Claudia also talks about what the anti-DEI push has meant for the MSC and what’s in store for the future.    Plus, our own Omar Waheed has done <a href= "https://blueprint365.org/featured/the-grass-is-getting-greener-the-cannabis-industry-in-wisconsin-is-poised-for-big-growth-if-the-legislature-acts/"> some pretty deep digging on the cannabis industry in Wisconsin</a> and talks us through the issues and opportunities there, especially for Indigenous nations.
