bonnie says goodbyeIt is with mixed emotions that Wisconsin Faith Voices for Justice Executive Director Rabbi Bonnie Margulis announces her departure from the organization on June 21, 2024.
"When I helped organize clergy and faith leaders’ response to Governor Walker’s Act 10 and his first state budget proposal, I had no idea that I was embarking on a journey that would lead to the creation of Wisconsin Faith Voices for Justice. Over these last 13 years, we have grown from an ad hoc loose organization called Concerned Religious Leaders of Wisconsin, with no budget and an all-volunteer steering committee, to an independent non-profit organization with over 1300 members and supporters, a growing budget, and an agenda that includes workers' rights, immigration justice, voting rights, anti-racism, LGBTQ+ rights, affordable housing, health equity, and building bridges among faiths."
