It’s almost midnight Hey friend – I wish I had a bit more time to chat with you tonight, but it’s a short month, and we’re just a few short hours away from our midnight deadline. So let’s just pretend that I wrote a really clever joke, or told a powerful story about values-d…

The struggle for democracy is a fight worth winning

We can’t let up now. For years, it felt like we were fighting a losing battle for democracy in Wisconsin. The WisGOP gerrymandered our maps so thoroughly that Governor Evers was the one thing standing between our state and their extremist agenda. But one week ago, all of t…

How we got here

For 13 years Republicans had an iron grasp over Wisconsin because in 2011 they built a legislative map that would protect their majorities despite landslide losses statewide. But our team of grassroots supporters persisted and kept hope in the face of unfettered GOP power. A…
