The following program is a PBS Wisconsin original production.

Frederica Freyberg:

2024 presidential hopefuls drive home their support for the working class amidst an historic strike by the United Auto Workers and Wisconsin workers join the frontlines.

I’m Frederica Freyberg. Tonight on “Here & Now,” we hear from voices on the picket line and an economist looks at this moment through an historical lens. Paul Ryan tells us Wisconsin Republicans will lose with Trump. A drain on freshwater resources has local leaders drafting a Mississippi River compact and the Lac du Flambeau tribe combats threats to wild rice. It’s “Here & Now” for September 29.
