“We’re watching several billionaires here decide they want to play kingmaker in this race and the voters are the ones getting screwed out of this election,” said Nick Ramos, executive director of the Wisconsin Democracy Campaign, which tracks donations and spending in state races.

The work isn't done. We still need a permanent solution to ensure #FairMaps for future generations. Let your representatives know that you want an Independent Commission to draw our maps 💯 #FairMaps #EndGerrymandering #WisconsinVotes

If you encounter any issues voting today, call or text 866-OUR-VOTE. Trained election protection volunteers are available to help, with support for multiple languages.

Election Day is Tuesday, August 11! Polls are open from 7 am to 8 pm. Make sure you are #VoteReady 🗳 ✅ Find your polling place at MyVote.Wi.Gov ✅ Bring an accepted form of photo ID ✅ Lastly, remind your friends!

We need to get money out of politics 💸 Why? It's not just the annoying commercials & texts. But when billionaires & corporations spend big $$ to court influence, they have unfettered power to rig the rules. 👉 That makes it harder for the rest of us to buy groceries, pay bills, and live comfortably.

We're saying no to public dollars to Jacobs, a company partnered with Palantir — the tech corporation supplying data to ICE. Public infrastructure should serve the public.

Prosecutors have 40 days to respond. The revelation comes more than a year after Law Forward filed a lawsuit on behalf of the @wisdc.bsky.social alleging that Musk participated in a “brazen scheme to bribe Wisconsin citizens to vote” in the race.

The fight after Callais is about the freedom of every American, especially Black and brown voters, to participate in elections without having their power diluted or their voices silenced. Here in WI, we know that our democracy is stronger when every eligible voter can vote and be fully heard.

❌ Bad news: the system is rigged. ✅ Good news: we can fix that right now. Big money in government means corporations & wealthy special interests push policy agendas. Let's rewrite the rules. It starts by shining a light on dark money, so we can see who is trying to sway OUR elections. #DarkMoney

9 in 10 voters believe corruption is a big problem across government, according to a poll from @brennancenter.org at NYU Law. This is a mandate for reform. 🔦 We can start by getting money out of politics and ending #DarkMoney in elections. 💸 www.brennancenter.org/our-work/ana...

"Strongman” politicians project their supposed strength by attacking immigrants, people of color, and the LGBTQ+ community. But these groups of people aren't the "threats" we should be worried about. Who is? The oligarchs who earn their keep by exploiting the rest of us.

Across the country, the many can defeat the money by demanding our state leaders, from governors to representatives, keep their hands off our vote and restore the voting power of Black and brown citizens. #Wisconsin #ProtectTheVote #FreedomTovote
