Home Stretch for Wisconsin Supreme Court Race
You probably know that balance of the Wisconsin Supreme Court is at risk. This election pits Susan Crawford, a current Wisconsin circuit court judge endorsed by all current liberal judges on the court, against Brad Shimel, a Musk-backed Republican who is currently a sitting judge. If Crawford wins, liberals will lock in their majority for at least three more years. We helped elect Janet Protasiewicz and let’s do the same for Susan Crawford.
Sign up for Wisconsin Wednesday Phonebank and/or Saturday Canvassing in Milwaukee.

Democrats cannot be complicit in Trump's coup.
Upcoming Elections
ILS is already hard at work with postcarding, canvassing and phone banking to elect Susan Crawford, candidate for the Wisconsin Supreme Court, in the general election April 1. Here are some other races to watch.
Tell Senators to Shut It Down
From Indivisible Chicago Alliance:
Democrats must get on board and join us in actively opposing his administration. Democrats have to shut it down. No more allowing nominations to pass through the Senate as normal order. No more treating legislation as business as usual. We need our Senators to slow down the process of the Senate by every means they have at their disposal. This includes:
