Actions for Week of January 15, 2024

Getting Ready for 2024

ANYTIME BEFORE JANUARY 26TH
Postcards: Help Elect a Pro-Democracy Majority to the Wisconsin Supreme Court
Activate America
Virtual
The swing state of Wisconsin has an upcoming election that will determine the balance of power in the state’s divided 4-3 Supreme Court. The election is just around the corner, with a primary on February 21 and the general election on April 4th. Voting by mail makes a lot of sense in Wisconsin in February, and the state requires voters to sign up again each year to do so. There is only a short window for voters to request a ballot, so we want to get these reminders out to them as soon as possible.
These cards need to be mailed by January 26th. Sign up HERE

NY State is the most economically unequal state in the country. 740 Park Ave has the highest concentration of billionaires in NYS. While working-class and low-income New Yorkers struggle to make ends meet, the city’s richest residents have $7 trillion in wealth, most of which will never be taxed.
