Refugee calls for Wisconsin to divest funds from Sudan

Lawmakers and activists encouraged the Wisconsin State Investment Board to divest from companies that facilitate genocide at the Capitol Wednesday.

A bipartisan bill spear-headed by state Sen. Shelia Harsdorf, R-River Falls, and state Rep. Fredrick Kessler, D-Milwaukee, stipulates that state money be invested in companies that donĂ¢??t indirectly fund genocide in Sudan.
