Need your help.

Iron Stache and Mark Pocan will be there... Jack, First, let me introduce myself. My name is Ashley and I'm the new Southwest Regional Organizer for Our Wisconsin Revolution, and I'm so very excited to work with you all! This Saturday, February 29th is our Organize to Win even…

An amazing lineup

Youth will be on center stage at the Wisconsin Organize to Win Summit this coming Saturday. Featured speakers will include teen climate activists Stephanie Salgado and Max Prestigiacomo. Stephanie spent the early part of her childhood in Honduras and saw the impact of the clim…

Iron Stache will be in the house

As Bernie says, "Not me. Us." Or, as I write in my new book Unscrewing America, “me” politics needs to be assertively challenged by “we” politics. That's the spirit I hope will fill the room at our Organize to Win Summit on February 29. One of the headliners that day will be R…

The best response

How the two major parties responded to landslide losses in the past could not have been more different. Those distant memories say a lot about what the parties have become and how they operate today. One response definitely worked better. The benefit of this hindsight tells us…

Bigger and better

The stakes are high and the need to challenge establishment thinking is great. With Wisconsin losing more than two family farms a day, state lawmakers are convened in a special session to address the farm crisis. They are responding to rural bleeding with cosmetics. Our Wiscon…

You are invited

Your attendance is critical. Our state and our country have gotten to a dangerous place. Seemingly numb to intensifying inequality. Fiddling while our planet burns. Passively watching democracy slip from our grasp. The last thing we should do is sit home alone. That's why we'r…

The antidote for a rough week

Don't lose sleep over things you can't control. That's what I've always told myself. This week, it was easier said than done. Look at what has happened in recent days in Iowa and in Washington, D.C. and it's hard not to see a failed state. Even though you and I have no control…

Submit your nomination

What should Wisconsin be the first state in the nation to do? That’s a question rarely if ever asked nowadays. And that’s strange for a state with such a rich heritage of breaking new ground and being a guiding light for the rest of the nation to follow. Our latest blog post s…

Circle the date

"...indivisible, with liberty and justice for all." That, of course, is how the Pledge of Allegiance ends. Our country has strayed so very far from this ideal. The U.S. incarcerates more of its population than any country in the world. And billionaires and big business interes…

Wise beyond her years

Greta Thunberg is just 17 years old but understands something many others who are far older can’t seem to fathom. Just about every time she speaks, she makes the point that the politics needed to deal with the climate crisis does not exist. Greta is right, of course. And it’s…

Last night was a good night for the movement

Jack, Last night Governor Evers delivered his State of the State and shared a lot of great news about where Wisconsin is and where we are headed. 
But the part that got us the most excited came right towards the end, when he announced that he’s signing an Executive Order to cr…

Hitting the ground running!

Jack, Last week, we wrote with exciting news: we have an Executive Director! Mike McCabe, who we all know and love, just took the helm of OWR, and boy did he hit the ground running. Since coming on board: He's visited several local chapters around the state. He sat down wit…

Let’s create a new kind of politics

Jack, As you know, OWR exists to make Wisconsin of, by and for the people. And this week, our team just got a whole lot stronger. After an extensive national search, we are excited to announce that Mike McCabe will be joining us as our organization’s first ever Executive Dire…

There's still time

Jack, We at OWR wanted to take a moment to let you know how much we appreciate you. Throughout the years, we’ve stood together and we’ve fought together. And we know, that with you by our side, 2020 is going to be our strongest year yet. Help us ensure we have what we need …

2020 is just around the corner

Jack, I hope this holiday season has been filled with good food, great friends and loving family. I for one took some time to decompress from a crazy year that just never seemed to stop. And now, newly refreshed, I’m ready to face 2020 head on. This year, we at OWR are com…

We can’t do it without you

Our commitment to you is the same it has always been — we will continue to support candidates — at every level of government — who stand with working people, not corporations. Jack, It’s been quite a year. Throughout 2019, our movement had some great moments… as well as some …

Here they go again

Jack, Wisconsin Republicans are at it again. They know they don’t represent the people. They can’t win fair and square at the ballot box. So they gerrymander districts to rig the maps and they disenfranchise voters every chance they get. Now they have a plan to purge over 2…

What a week

Jack, Impeachment got you down? Yes it's serious. Our democracy is at risk if foreign governments are brought into compromise our elections. OWR salutes our Congresspeople taking a strong stand for democracy. While the federal government is mired in scandal, it's really the p…

One more year [A checklist]

So I’m writing today with a checklist for you to follow to ensure that we are ready to win in 2020 and beyond. Jack, To say the last three years have been tough would be quite the understatement. Our country is being tested in ways that our founding fathers could never have i…

AOC is with Bernie. Are you?

The Sqaud is with Bernie. Are you? Jack, Whoa. This past weekend, “Squad” members Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib took the stage in Queens and officially endorsed Bernie Sanders for President. We at Our Wisconsin Revolution are in good company! L…
