Hi John,
Don't forget – Wisconsin Conservation Voters is celebrating Earth Week with events every day, starting Monday! Every day, you can join one of our organizers to learn more about what it means to invest in our future, our youth, waters, relationships, and communities. We also added an event! On Wednesday, April 20, at 12 p.m., we're co-hosting a Great Lakes Virtual Event with other conservation leagues from the Great Lakes states to demand climate action.
We'll be joined by federal and state leaders – including Assembly Minority Leader Greta Neubauer – to discuss how important climate legislation is for the Great Lakes.
RSVP to the Great Lakes Virtual Event here and check out the other events we have planned. We hope to see you this week! - Casey |

Hi John,
This Earth Week, we're thrilled to celebrate and "Invest in our Planet" with a packed week of events. We hope you join us as we dive into what it means to invest in our future, our youth, our waters, our relationships, and lastly, our communities.
We've all read the news and climate reports making it clear that we have to act now to solve the climate crisis. At times it may sound daunting, but I have hope that we can create a sustainable future for our children.
I'm hopeful because of the community members, elected officials, and supporters like you I've seen commit themselves to changing our state for the better. Being a part of this movement means showing up, so please join us for Earth Week from April 18 to 22, and invest in our future. |

Invest in Our Communities

This Earth Week is a statewide – and national – effort to drive people to climate action. Our partners across the state will also be hosting Earth Week events and initiatives, so let's show our support. Follow us on social media throughout the week to stay tapped into our partners' efforts. |
More Ways to Get Involved |
Looking for other ways to get involved in the conservation voter movement? I have a few suggestions. You can always reach out to me or your local organizer to find out ways to tap into climate work in your area.
Our activist toolkit is also a great resource for how to write your elected officials, write an opinion piece for a local newspaper, and many other tools. And one of the easiest ways you can amplify our work is by following us on social media and sharing our posts. Just click the links below to get to our pages. |
