Chop Wood, Carry WI 7/21
Hey, Team Wisconsin!
Do I need to state the obvious? There’s a lot going on. I think when the dust settles we’re going to be really, really excited about our new Presidential ticket—heck, I already am. I have LOVED Joe Biden as President but this turn of events is going, I think, to make our jobs a bit easier.
But let’s focus on Wisconsin for a moment, shall we?
Because we need you to help flip Wisconsin’s extreme Republican State Legislature blue. Which we can, now, because we finally have fair maps there because WE GOT JANET PROTASIEWICZ ELECTED and elections have consequences!
Why does it matter?
After the Dobbs decision, the Republican Legislature allowed an 1849 abortion ban written in 1849, (that is right, 1849) go in to effect. It is currently being challenged in court.
Down Ballot races can have an up ticket lift, helping Tammy Baldwin and whoever is the Presidential nominee win the state.
By defeating some of the election denying state legislators, we can help ensure the election is certified.
Maximize impact of new state maps!
Dems have incredible infrastructure and a great ground game- case in point, the election of Judge Janet to the WI State Supreme Court by 11 points!
Also on the ballot, Democracy, Voting Rights, Public Education, Environmental Protections, LGBTQ+ Freedoms, Worker Safety, Common Sense Gun Regulations…the list goes on.
Please join the inaugural Wisconsin Giving Circle, Grab Em’ by the States on Monday evening. There is a specific urgency in Wisconsin and an opportunity to shift power in the legislature.
Join them at the kickoff event on Monday, July 22, 6-7pm EST, in conversation with extraordinary on-the-ground leaders in Wisconsin: Minority Leader Greta Neubauer, Ben Wikler, Chair, WI Democratic Party, and Melissa Walker, Head of Giving Circles. THIS IS GOING TO BE SO GOOD!
