Does sin cause homelessness? Plus, the Black Brilliance Gala

APR 12, 202430 MIN

Description

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. Then, we visit the headquarters of Urban Triage, where founder and CEO Brandi Grayson gives us an update on the organization’s activities and programs, and previews next month’s Black Brilliance Gala fundraiser.
