During the past four years as a student at UW-Madison, I have questioned the value of the Associated Students of Madison (ASM).

I think we can all recall sitting in an elementary school classroom as our teachers passionately preached “violence is not the answer!” As 10-year-olds, it is understandable that we could not quite comprehend what the phrase truly meant. The word “violence,” undeniably vague, carries immense baggage. Is violence slapping your friend lightly on the arm for confiscating your cookie in the cafeteria?

As a result, our nation, as well as the state of Wisconsin, is collectively facing a poll worker shortage.

Most of the articles I have written in my time as a contributor/editor at The Daily Cardinal have been on topics that touch me deeply. Topics that I feel strongly about. However, none of my previous pieces have been so entangled in my own personal experience.

Editors' Note [July 29, 2020 at 9:26 p.m.]: This correction has been edited for clarity. Additionally, the statement provided by Madeline Pawlak has been updated. An earlier version of their statement incorrectly claimed Collin Rees said Roys has never violated the pledge. Rees clarified, "Kelda Roys did indeed violate the No Fossil Fuel Money pledge... [and] acted quickly to remedy these violations, and returned them. Because she did so, she remains a pledge signer and in good standing with the No Fossil Fuel Money pledge."

But as restrictions are lifted, human hatred rears its ugly head again. The tragic news of police brutality claiming yet another life in George Floyd sent shockwaves around the world, sparking riots in cities across the United States and discourse demanding justice for him.
