Northwestern Wisconsin anti-nuclear group rebounds from funding slump

LUCK, Wis. (WPR) The anti-nuclear group Nukewatch has rebounded from budget shortfalls that threatened to end the publication of its quarterly newspaper, by using different ways to raise money.

The group’s co-director, John LaForge, says there's the good old-fashioned appeal to give money for the cause which worked last year.  He says despite a down time last summer, they’ve bounced back after a few special appeals.  But he says they're also recruiting musicians like Rachael Kilgour to hold fundraisers.  

Kilgour was scheduled to perform Saturday night (3/6) at the Red Mug Coffeehouse in Superior.  She says writing songs about social justice needs passion, maybe even anger.
