Chop Wood, Carry Wisconsin 9/6 🧀
Hi, Team Wisconsin!
I’ve got a few things for you today—I’m sure you’ve heard about the latest chicanery coming out of your state, so there are actions a’plenty to be discussed.
First I want to invite you to an event tomorrow that will be informative, exciting, and inspiring. And yes it’s VERY Wisconsin-related.
It’s a fundraiser and information session for SPAN, the State Party Advancement Network, TOMORROW at 4PM PT/ 7PM ET!
How is that related to WI? Read on!
We all know a strong state party helps Democrats win elections—think Wisconsin and Michigan!—and a weak one can lose us critical seats—hello CA and NY! SPAN does incredible work behind the scenes making good state parties better—they’re the secret sauce behind a lot of the success we’ve seen in Wisconsin and elsewhere. In fact, SPAN’s founder was the WisDems chair before Ben Wikler!
Speaking of Wikler, he’ll be a main speaker at this event. So will Lavora Barnes, Chair of the MI Dems, and Martha Laning, the founder of SPAN.
I can’t urge you enough to come. It’s going to be GREAT. Register here, and bring a friend!
In other action items, Chair Ben Wikler is asking for the following help with the Protasiewicz impeachment situation:
Those in Wisconsin should immediately call or email their state representatives. Use the new website defendjustice.com to find their contact info.
Amplify the website on social media!
Join a WisDems phonebank to call Wisconsin voters and tell them what’s happening and ask them to call their Representatives! Sign up here.
Very important things happening right now, all. The future of our democracy depends on how hard we fight back right now. So let’s make sure we bring our A game.
The Wisconsin GOP thinks it can erase your voice.
I think you’re going to prove them wrong.
