Democracy is a 10 lane highway.

Perhaps marches, picketing, and boycotts aren't your lane.

There are WI 4 elections in '26: spring primary, April election, fall primary, & the November midterms.

It's late, and we all are tired.

Tired of the threats to our democracy.

Tired of ICE agents perpetuating violence in our communities.

Tired of waiting for the release of the Epstein files.

Tired of imperialistic threats against NATO allies.

Tired of the lies.

Join us and take action.

Silence is not neutral.

There are many ways to stand up against ICE and the MAGA agenda.

ICE and democracy can't coexist. Call your federal representative and demand they freeze out funding.
Next week, Democrats can freeze out funding for ICE — but only if they work together as a unified opposition. That means we must flood Dems’ offices with calls to demand ICE Out For Good.

Regardless of race, place, or party we share values with our fellow Wisconsinites.

But when politicians and the billionaires that back them drive wedges between us we lose sight of what we have in common.

No one wins when this happens.

Predatory overdraft fees were a thing of the past.

Until Trump took office.

Just one more move that centers big business profits over everyday families.

It may feel like we live in a divided world without shared values, but that isn't true. Across race, place, and income we all want to know that when joy or tragedy hits our families, we have paid time off to care for ourselves or our loved ones.

Paid family and medical leave is common-sense policy.
“Family and medical leave is not just good policy, it’s common sense infrastructure for a healthy competitive Wisconsin. By investing in our people, we ensure that no one has to choose between a job that they need, and a family that they love."

Wisconsin Democrats renew call for paid medical and family leave - WORT-FM 89.9
The bill announced Tuesday would set up a paid medical and family leave insurance fund, supervised by the state's Department of Workforce Development.

Families are struggling to afford the basics -- food, rent, utilities, and even diapers.

We need more than 5 million diapers in Dane County to fill the gap between what families with low-to-moderate incomes can afford and what they need.
