It’s Election Day – Take Action
We have 209 days until the midterm elections, but election season is already upon us. Since November 2024, Democrats have already won dozens of special elections, including in historically deep Republican districts. Today, and later this month, there are two more critically important elections in Wisconsin and Virginia, and our democracy and values are on the ballot.
Today is election day in Wisconsin, where we are getting out the vote for Judge Chris Taylor for WI Supreme Court. With voting rights under attack across the country, state Supreme Court justices play an important role in defending voting rights and our democracy. Judge Taylor’s victory would grow the liberal majority on the Wisconsin Supreme Court to 5-2, deepening the court’s ability to defend our rights and freedoms. We’re calling voters in Wisconsin until the polls close to ensure she wins the first statewide election in a swing state in 2026. Join us TODAY at 6:00 p.m. ET/5:00 p.m. CT.
LAST CALL: GET OUT THE VOTE IN WI
The Republican Party’s agenda is deeply unpopular, and it’s showing at the polls. That’s why Trump ordered Republican-controlled states to prematurely redraw their congressional maps to gerrymander Democrats out of power without voter approval. Republicans didn’t anticipate Democrats fighting back – yet that’s exactly what’s happened in the courts, in California, and now in Virginia.
On April 21, two weeks from today, Virginians will vote on a new set of maps that would create more competitive districts, potentially adding four seats for Democrats and giving them a chance at winning a House majority this fall. The Virginians for Fair Elections’ referendum will put temporary safeguards in place to defend our democracy and to stop Donald Trump’s power grab. It is not guaranteed to pass, and we’re doing everything we can to get out the vote in Virginia. Join us in making calls to defend democracy for Virginians.
Now’s your chance to turn your anger into action to defend our democracy. Join our upcoming phone banks and events to be a part of our movement to elect candidates who share our Jewish and Democratic values.
In solidarity,
