We'll share materials to help guide their response in case ICE arrives at their workplace, and that they can share with their employees.
Home Stretch for Wisconsin Supreme Court Race
You probably know that balance of the Wisconsin Supreme Courtis 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.
