Call on Rep. Derrick Van Orden to Stand with Working People
AFSCME members and community allies will gather outside La Crosse Human Services on Wednesday, April 1, to call on Rep. Derrick Van Orden to stop backing policies that make life harder for working people and put vital public services at risk.
Working families across western Wisconsin are already stretched thin by the rising cost of health care, groceries, child care and other essentials. AFSCME members say proposals that cut public services and weaken the support families rely on only deepen the strain, all while the wealthy and well connected keep getting more.
Folks, including passersby, will be invited to write what has gotten too expensive for them on signs.

Join community members from across Wisconsin for a virtual town hall on data centers, artificial intelligence (AI), and rising utility bills.
Large technology companies want to build massive data centers in Wisconsin to power artificial intelligence (AI) and cloud computing. These facilities use huge amounts of electricity and water, sometimes as much power as a small city. To supply that demand, utilities are proposing new power plants and expensive grid upgrades. If there are no protections in place, families and small businesses could end up paying for this through higher utility bills.
Data centers can also increase pollution, strain local water supplies, and slow progress on climate goals, creating risks for our health, our environment, and our communities.
State Representatives will join this conversation to hear directly from residents about concerns related to electricity costs, water use, transparency, and community impacts.
