JDCA Wisconsin Chapter Mobilize for Victory—Action Agenda

We are now 90 days from the November elections. Our JDCA Chapter is embarking on a major action plan for a Democratic Wisconsin win. Please read through this memo carefully. We are asking you to join in JDCA’s coordinated national effort to reach Jewish voters. As you see here, our WI JDCA Chapter is planning a full slate of events. Please attend as many as possible. Victory depends on action. Remember JDCA is the only national group dedicated to Jewish Democrats.

Our goals are:

• Electing Joe Biden as President, flipping the Senate from red to blue, and expanding Democrats’ House majority;
• Protecting Israel and fighting antisemitism, racism and other forms of hatred;
• Supporting Joe Biden’s national efforts to halt the alarming rebound of COVID;
• Supporting Democratic efforts to bolster the Affordable Care Act and efforts to ensure access to affordable healthcare.

Dates and Action Events – Please Reserve (and please note that all JDCA events are now listed here).
