Our Voice. Our Power.
Highlighting MFOL Wisconsin's Direct Action last week calling to P.R.O.T.E.C.T. Wisconsin youth.
Last week, the Texas, Virginia, and Georgia teams took to the streets (and Stone Mountain) to call out systematic racism, white supremacy, and the NRA. That same week, the New York Attorney General announced that she will be filing a suit to dissolve the NRA in its entirety. [[link removed]]
Whether it's protesting in the streets against the National Rifle Association, or working with coalitions in our states to build out our own vision for a brighter future- we are putting in the work. Our Wisconsin team did just that. [[link removed]]
