Dear John,

350MKE is joining forces with 350 Wisconsin Action to give our members some options to take action and make a difference in the Wisconsin 2022 mid-term election.  Below is an introduction to Option 1: Do you like to write? Then the Letters to the Editor team may be for you!.

The upcoming midterm election will have huge consequences for the climate.  Governor Evers and Mandela Barnes are climate champions who will fight for strong, just climate policy.  Their opponents are dangerous climate deniers. The choice cannot be more clear.

We need your help to re-elect Tony Evers for Governor and to elect Mandela Barnes to the Senate!

Here's the first great opportunity that you can start next week:

Writing letters to the editor.  Letters to the editor– in both print and online newspapers–are an effective way to reach persuadable voters.  You can join 350 Wisconsin Action in writing letters to newspapers across the state, endorsing Barnes and Evers and stressing the importance of voting for clean water, renewable energy and green jobs.  You will receive a comprehensive list of newspapers with instructions for how to submit letters to them. We’ll also provide a toolkit with sample letters that you can use and modify.  And if you like, we’d be happy to edit your letters before you submit them.

And here’s something you can do right now…

Like the 350 Wisconsin Action Facebook page! 

Campaigning for the climate is crucially important–and it will also be fun!  We’ll be launching more campaign activities over the coming weeks.  If you’d like to get involved in planning our campaign work, or if you have questions, please contact Political Organizer Gail Nordheim at [email protected]
 

 We hope you'll get involved!

Sincerely,
John Greenler, Executive Director
Gail Nordheim, Political Organizer
