Special Request from "We Are Wisconsin" in Senate District 10

As we are gearing up for GOTV, we are reaching out to you as AFSCME leaders and activists with a specific ask.

We need bodies going into the 10th SD volunteering for We Are Wisconsin. We need to get 30+ GOTV shifts filled per day from out of district labor specifically from the Eau Claire and Superior areas.

The idea is that Eau Claire union members go to Menomonie and the Superior members go to Siren. We are asking you to volunteer and to help identify other volunteers that are able to canvass the last 4 days of GOTV (Saturday Aug 6th - Election Day,Tuesday Aug 9th). Labor activism will represent the margin of victory or defeat in this race. Boots on the ground is going to be the deciding factor.

We all know the merits of Shelly Moore and the heartache that has been caused at the hands of Walker cronies like Sheila Harsdorf, now we need to finish the job. This election is not in the bag. It is, however, ours to lose.

Lastly, there is an event tomorrow (Saturday, July 23rd) at 9:30am with the Democratic Congresswoman from Madison, Tammy Baldwin. She will kick-off the weekend canvass from:

We Are Wisconsin Regional Office
BASEMENT
105 21st St N.
Menomonie, WI

Across the street from the Red Ceder Medical Center.

Canvass times are:

Saturday:
10:00am | 12:00pm | 2:00pm | 4:00pm

Sunday:
12:00pm | 2:00pm | 4:00pm

If you are unable to walk, we also have a need for drivers for GOTV. People are coming in from all around the country and not everyone will have cars.

Please contact Skylar Johnston if you can commit and help WIN BACK the State Senate by providing your Name, Phone Number, and desired times to volunteer so you can be slotted.

Thanks everyone for all of your hard work. We know that you are busting your tails to help with this. We just need to kick it up a notch for the last little bit. It will make all of the difference.

Let’s light the fire on the GREEN MACHINE!

In Solidarity,
