I stood at Chiwaukee Prairie today and I didn’t know what to say.

This place - home to over 400 plant species and one of the last intact costal prairies in southeastern Wisconsin - exists because Wisconsin made a promise 37 years ago to protect land like this for you.

And that promise just ended today.

Stay Cool, Kenosha!

With dangerously high temperatures expected through Tuesday, cooling centers are available throughout the city to help residents beat the heat.

City libraries, museums and several community locations are open during regular business hours for anyone needing a cool place to go.

Where Leadership Meets Community Action.

Wisconsin State Representative Ben DeSmidt of Assembly District 65 says, “Community Action Agencies like Racine Kenosha Community Action Agency play a critical role in supporting our communities and the work we do as legislators. Whether helping connect working families, seniors, or vulnerable residents with vital resources, they consistently demonstrate a strong commitment to serving those in need. I’m proud to have an organization like RKCAA continuing to make a meaningful difference in the lives of countless families throughout the 65th Assembly District.”

Thank you Representative Ben DeSmidt for supporting Community Action!
