Wisconsin’s state government has taken sweeping action against COVID-19, enacting emergency orders and investing lots of money to stop the virus. Climate activists have been demanding this kind of governmental action for years. “Climate change is an equal if not greater threat than this pandemic, but this pandemic is now feeling real and scary to people,” says Janet Meissner Pritchard, an environmental policy lawyer and a board member of Citizen Action of Wisconsin. Activists like Meissner Pritchard and Ted Kraig are Milwaukee residents who have invested years of their lives working on the climate issue. More than ever, they feel it is important to continue that work during these challenging times.
