IN MEMORIAM:
MATTHEW S. nICGORSKI

We are shocked and saddened to learn of the sudden passing of our Board member and treasurer, Matt Nicgorski, on December 3.  We just learned of this terrible news.

Matt joined our board three years ago as our treasurer. Matt was a CPA and he wanted to learn more about non-profit accounting and was looking for an organization that lined up with his values. He threw himself into our work with energy and enthusiasm.  He was unfailingly kind, patient, generous with his time and expertise.  He will be greatly missed by all who knew him. We send our deepest sympathies to his family.

My faith, my vote, my story...

The Wisconsin Interfaith Voter Engagement Campaign asked that people to make short videos to explain why their faith tradition impels them to vote and to be involved in the public square. 

Right: Charles tells us why Judaism informs his determination to participate in our democracy and to ensure that others also are able to participate and vote.
