Your gift today sustains our vital organizing work in communities across Wisconsin – and helps us fight back against attacks on our natural resources and freedom to vote:[[link removed]]
Dear John,
This week has been a mixed bag for conservation and democracy in Wisconsin.
First, we’re thrilled to tell you that the Green Bay Common Council voted unanimously to fund increased early voting hours – after years of organizing and advocacy from conservation voters and our allies in Green Bay.
This is a huge and hard-fought win that will make it much easier for Green Bay voters to make their voices heard at the ballot box.
Improving voter access in Green Bay has been a difficult fight. The city has been in the crosshairs of “Big Lie” proponents, with statewide and national special interest groups pouring money into city council elections in April and attacking local elected officials.
We successfully fought back with people power! This victory is a perfect example of the success we can achieve because of our community organizing work – and the support of conservation voters like you.
Your generous support with a gift today helps us keep organizers in communities across Wisconsin fighting for the freedom to vote, clean energy, and safe drinking water: [[link removed]]
But on Thursday, the U.S. Supreme Court released their devastating, anti-science decision in West Virginia v. EPA, which will severely limit the federal government's ability to regulate carbon emissions from power plants.
This decision won't just escalate the climate crisis – it also sets a dangerous precedent by undermining the authority of all federal agencies to establish the strongest, most cost effective standards to protect people and the environment from dangerous pollution and other threats.

Low-income people and people of color bear the heaviest burdens of climate change and pollution. This Supreme Court decision is another harmful blow to these communities.
The horrible string of decisions coming from the Supreme Court highlights the urgent need to elect leaders here in Wisconsin – like Gov. Tony Evers and Attorney General Josh Kaul – who will lead on climate and voting rights.
Will you chip in an urgent gift today that helps us get to work to elect climate and democracy leaders in November? [[link removed]]
Thanks for all you do for Wisconsin,
