On April 4, Wisconsin has the rare opportunity to FLIP our Supreme Court away from conservative control for the first time in YEARS. After a year of cruel abortion bans, attacks on LGBTQ+ Wisconsinites, the assault on our democracy, and the rich getting richer than ever, Wisconsin needs a change. We also have the opportunity to elect strong, pro-worker candidates at the local level to fight for the issues that matter, from affordable housing to public safety and lowering costs for working families.
We need to make sure EVERY progressive voter casts a ballot by April 4. Join us on ZOOM to help us PHONE BANK VOTERS! All you’ll need is:
- A personal device, like a laptop or tablet, to join us on zoom and read the script
- A cell or home phone to call voters!
We’ll begin with a ~30 minute training and provide a script, folks to contact, and information on our candidates. All we need is YOU! Join us to help elect strong progressives and FLIP our Supreme Court. When we organize, we win!

ABOUT THE WISCONSIN SUPREME COURT
Wisconsin has the opportunity on April 4, 2023 to change the balance of the Court away from a conservative majority for the first time in YEARS. This is a rare, crucial opportunity to put ALL progressive priorities on the table, from abortion rights to fair maps, from union rights to legalizing marijuana, and from LGBTQ+ rights to protecting our natural resources. While Our Wisconsin Revolution is not endorsing in this race, Dan Kelly is running diametrically opposed to everything on our platform from a democratic economy to free and fair elections. Dan Kelly is allegedly part of the 2020 fake elector scheme in which Republicans attempted to overturn the 2020 election. IN SHORT: PROGRESSIVES CANNOT AFFORD TO LOSE THIS ONE. Alongside supporting our endorsed candidates, we are asking voters to vote their values in the Supreme Court race.
