Hi, all!
Hope you’ve had a good rest, because it’s time to get back to work! Why? Because the most important race between now and the 2024 Presidential election is fast approaching, and it’s in Wisconsin!
In WI, Supreme Court seats are held for 10 years and incumbents are almost always reelected. But this year, the conservative Chief Justice is retiring, leaving an opportunity to flip the Wisconsin Supreme Court. Right now Republicans have a 3-2 majority there—a majority that’s been responsible for many, many heinous decisions. But if we are able to flip this seat on April 4th WE will have the majority. This will have huge implications for gerrymandering, voting rights, and abortion rights in the state. It could even have an impact on the 2024 Presidential elections.
The stakes, in other words, are very high.
So what can you do? Well, I’ve updated the Wisconsin resource doc with easy ways you can get started—including postcarding, phonebanking, and/or simply retweeting Ben Wikler’s informative thread about the importance of this election.
Finally, if you have a few dollars to spare and want to find out how best to spend them on this race I highly recommend attending Focus For Democracy’s Wisconsin briefing on Tuesday, February 7th at 5PM PT /8PM ET. F4D really does its research and I, for one, can’t wait to hear what organizations they’re recommending. Register here.
OK. More soon, y’all. Let’s not just win. Let’s destroy.
Jess
