Write your legislators today!

 

Let's stop this before it's too late

The Wisconsin GOP is at it again, attempting to enshrine in our Constitution one of the  most restrictive voter laws in the nation -- the voter ID law. It is already the law in this state as of 2016 but making it into a constitutional amendment will make it nearly impossible to ever remove it. 

 

They are trying to rush it through so time is of the utmost. 

 

Now, thanks to fair maps that hold GOP legislators accountable, our pressure can have impact. Please find and contact your state representative and state senator (even if they are on our side) and urge them to vote no. Below is a sample message. Use the appropriate Joint Resolution reference depending on whether you are contacting your state representative (Assembly Resolution 1) or state senator (Senate Resolution 2). Include your name and city at the bottom.   

 

I am writing to urge you to vote no on the divisive, confusing and unnecessary attempt to enshrine in our Constitution our restrictive voter ID law, something no Democrat or any voting rights organization supports. Wisconsin already makes it harder to vote than almost any state in the nation and we already know that voter fraud is infinitesimally rare and voter ID laws don’t even address those rare instances.

 

We finally have fair maps and democracy in our state. The people want cooperation, not continued divisiveness and partisanship, especially when it comes to our most precious right – the right to vote. 

 

Vote No on Senate Joint Resolution 2 (or Assembly Joint Resolution 1).

  Let's gather this Sunday for community, gratitude and hope When: Sunday, Nov. 24 from 1 to 2 p.m. Where: DPOC Office 516 W. College What: Volunteer Appreciation and Gathering How: Sign up or just show up   We are barely two weeks out from the election and we’re all still coping with the traumatic results in whatever ways we can. Some of us are rageful, others grieving. Some of us are numb and tuned out. Others are already thinking about next steps and resistance.   Those of you who poured yourself into the campaign probably have an added layer of feelings, whether it is frustration, futility, disbelief or simple exhaustion. We hope that pride is what you ultimately land on because you have so much reason to feel proud. It’s much easier to sit by and hope rather than to jump in and put your hearts and bodies on the line, knowing the results might not be what you want.   This Sunday, we'd like to thank you for going all in like you did. That took courage and spiritu...

Learn to Canvass ! The Infrastructure Minute Labor Day  Parade   For the People  By Trisha Kostelny, Political Outreach Chair   “At every step of the way, I’ve been guided by the words I spoke from the first time I stood in a courtroom: Kamala Harris, For the People.”  Kamala Harris, Aug. 19, 2020   Kamala Harris has infused massive energy and excitement into the Democratic campaign for President. Last Tuesday, I attended the rally for her in Milwaukee. I had tears in my eyes and we all cheered for her as she was welcomed to the stage. We get to vote again for the first woman for President. In the world we live in she clearly has had to overcome a great deal, being a woman and a woman of color. She had to work harder than any of her counterparts to get where sh...
