Third Try on Murdered Black Women Bill
WORT 89.9FM Madison · Third Try on Murdered Black Women Bill
In 2022, the Guardian published a report showing that Wisconsin led the nation in murder rate for black women and girls, with 20 homicides per 100,000 residents. Black women and girls living in Wisconsin face a murder risk five times higher than their counterparts in New York. For the third legislative session in a row, Wisconsin Assembly District 78 representative Shelia Stubbs has introduced legislation (LRB-2995/1) to create a task force to study the issue. Two previous attempts to pass similar bills died in the state senate. Representative Shelia Stubbs joined Monday Buzz host Brian Standing on August 11, 2025.
