On November 7, a fair Wisconsin will vote NO...…but only if you help!
It’s just over a month until the election. We’ve been talking about this election for so long, it’s seemed sometimes like it would never actually arrive. But it’s just about here. On November 7, Wisconsin voters will go to the polls and decide whether or not to inscribe discrimination into our state constitution. We can defeat the amendment. We can win in Wisconsin. But it’s a close race, and in order to win, we all need to help, each of us in her own way. Read how to make a difference here.
