“The vote is precious. It is almost sacred. It is the most powerful non-violent tool we have in a democracy.” — John Lewis in a 2019 CommonWealth Interview

Dear John,

350MKE is partnering 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 2: Young Voter Outreach.

The election is less than 8 weeks away, and we need everyone’s help to re-elect Tony Evers for Governor and to elect Mandela Barnes to the Senate! Here are this week’s featured opportunities.

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

Here's the second great opportunity for you:

“NextGen is the nation’s largest youth voting organization that’s using innovative digital and field strategies to turn out young voters in key states. We’re empowering the largest and most diverse generation in American history through voter education, registration and mobilization. At NextGen we share lessons learned with the broader progressive community to build a stronger, more nimble and effective democracy.”

We will be joining NextGen on Tuesday, September 20, for tabling at Madison College, UW Milwaukee, Marquette, UW Oshkosh, and UW Stout. You will talk to students about the importance of voting and encourage them to sign “I pledge to vote” cards. Training is provided. (Note that this is a nonpartisan event.) Click below to learn more and sign up for a 2 hour tabling shift.

Writing letters to the editor is still alive and well!

Watch the 350MKE site for all the opportunities!

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
