Triple Match Campaign Update! In September we had the goal to raise at least $26,500 to earn all of the $53,000 matching funds on offer from generous donors. We blew past our goal and raised $38,273! Thank you to all of you who gave so generously! $38,273 + $53,000 = $91,273 raised by this Triple Match campaign to power our work to win a pro-conservation majority in the Assembly this fall!
Thanks for being a conservation voter,

You know this is one of the most important elections in more than a decade. We finally have new, fair voting maps – thanks to your support and vote. Wisconsin voters finally have an opportunity to choose leaders who will represent their values and be held accountable by who matters most, their constituents.
These endorsements [[link removed]] include candidates who are conservation champions and leaders in their communities. They share our values as conservation voters: clean water, clean air, accessible public lands, an equitable, safe democracy, and the pursuit of clean energy.
These candidates give us hope for a better Wisconsin – and, once elected, they will work hard to achieve it. We’re proud to endorse this most recent slate of candidates who will advocate for a brighter, cleaner, more equitable Wisconsin.
With your help, we’re going to knock on doors, send mail, broadcast digital ads, email, text, and more to make sure folks meet these candidates and understand how they’ll fight for a brighter future and our conservation priorities when elected. We’ll do it right up until the polls close on Nov. 5.
Will you do something today? Sign up for a volunteer shift [[link removed]] or make a donation [[link removed]] to make sure we can reach every voter possible. If you donate before the end of this month, a group of generous donors will TRIPLE your donation, up to $53,000! [[link removed]]
The time for a brighter, cleaner, and more equitable future is right now. These candidates will stand up for that future. With new voting maps in place, Wisconsinites now have an opportunity to make their voices heard and their votes count. With your help, we can take Wisconsin back.

See Josh Brzeszkiewicz’s story about his clean energy home improvements
[[link removed]]
When Josh Brzeszkiewicz and his wife moved into their home in Fitchburg in 2020, they knew it needed essential upgrades. With the launch of Pres. Biden's Affordable Clean Energy Plan, Josh saw the perfect opportunity to invest in those home improvement projects. This video details the “chain reaction” of improvements that followed, fueled by the IRA's extensive incentives.
Starting this week, we launched a large digital ad campaign featuring this video and similar stories to make people around the state aware of these benefits. At the same time, we are continuing to knock on doors to spread the word. To date, we have knocked on more than 330,000 doors!

Sign our petition to support state PFAS groundwater standards
The Wisconsin legislature is still blocking PFAS groundwater standards. You may have seen in this recent story from WPR [[link removed]] that there are 46 (yes, 46!) proposed groundwater standards facing delays and complications due to pro-polluter legislation that the unconstitutionally gerrymandered legislature passed in 2017.
We recently joined our coalition partners in impacted communities across the state to develop this petition [[link removed]]. Sign the petition and help us tell state legislators to take action NOW because people across our state lack access to safe drinking water.
Sign the petition >>> [[link removed]]
