The Guardian reports that in Wisconsin, millions of dollars have poured into the Wisconsin Supreme Court election from individuals and groups involved with promoting election disinformation and attempts to overturn the 2020 election." Donate to stop the onslaught here.
THE GUARDIAN: "At stake in the Wisconsin supreme court race are redistricting, abortion rights, and voting rights and elections policy. And these decisions go beyond the state: Wisconsin has been a critical swing state in recent presidential elections, so its voting policies affect more than just state residents."
With a conservative justice retiring, there is a chance to create a progressive majority on the Court for the first time in 15 years. Judge Janet Protasiewicz is a strong pro-choice, pro-democracy progressive whose victory would put progressives in charge until at least 2025.
Her opponent is a Trump conservative who has compared Social Security to slavery, fought to ban abortion, and railed against marriage equality.
After years of extraordinary organizing on the ground, the Democratic Party of Wisconsin has launched a massive field campaign to educate voters about this race and Get Out The Vote -- and the PCCC has been active in Wisconsin for over a decade.
Can you donate to the Democratic Party of Wisconsin's work to elect progressive, pro-democracy, pro-choice, Judge Protasiewicz to this critical court?
Yes! I will chip today. A progressive majority on the Wisconsin Supreme Court has national importance.
No, I can't donate right now -- but I'll call Wisconsin voters from my home to GET OUT THE VOTE.

More from The Guardian:
"Among the election-denying funders behind Kelly’s run are anti-abortion think tanks and Super Pacs, conservative billionaires and a constellation of groups funded by the Wisconsin shipping supply tycoon Richard Uihlein.
"Meanwhile, prominent election denier Charlie Kirk of the right-wing Turning Point USA has voiced support for Kelly’s campaign. Kirk has been blamed for funding the travel of a large number of the Capitol rioters on January 6.
"'There is an organized group of insurrectionists who are trying to actively fund candidates for elected office, including judgeships,' said Jeremi Suri, a professor of public affairs and history at the University of Texas-Austin."
This one election could change the trajectory of the whole country.
Can you donate to the Democratic Party of Wisconsin's work to win the general election on April 4 and flip the Wisconsin Supreme Court?
Yes! I will make a donation today.
No, I can't donate right now -- but I'll help call Wisconsin voters and educate them about this race!
Thanks for being a bold progressive.
