MILWAUKEE, WI— Leaves crunched underfoot as participants in Run Black and Green’s Strides for Survival event walked through McGovern Park on Saturday, October 31, passing a lake, an apple orchard and a 300-year-old oak tree—sights many were seeing for the first time.
The event, which celebrated the legacy of the Black Panther Movement, brought attendees together to move their bodies and learn from one another.

        Texas Didn't Turn Blue Overnight: A Love Letter to the People Who Lost Before Us
    
Averie Bishop
Nov 09, 2026
In this personal op-ed, former Miss Texas & State House candidate Averie Bishop reflects on watching the seat she lost in 2024 flip in the 2026 election, and why she feels gratitude rather than resentment.

The piece challenges our tendency to measure success solely by who wins, honoring the volunteers, candidates, and everyday Texans whose quiet persistence laid the groundwork for change. Above all, it's a hopeful reminder that good things take time, but they don't come to those who simply wait.
