When profitable corporations and the richest in the US pay their fair share, communities have the resources to thrive.

Instead, Trump and the Republican party have provided massive tax breaks to the very richest while cutting aid to help families afford food and go to the doctor.

Democracy is a team sport.

Work with a loved one, chosen family, or best friend to make sure we flip as many seats as we can in November to candidates that believe in voting rights, independent redistricting, checks and balances, and democracy!

#DemocracyValentine

We have an opportunity to elect a slate of pro-democracy representatives that will work on policies that matter to us all -- regardless of race, place, or income.

Access to health care

Common-sense gun laws

Affordable child care

Independent redistricting

Join us.

#DemocracyValentine

The Constitution guarantees rights to all "persons" in the US,
including undocumented immigrants.

When the Trump administration undermines any person's rights -- regardless of citizenship status, documenttation, or race and ethnicity -- it's a threat to our freedom & democracy.

#DemocracyValentine

Voters are rejecting Trump and the fascist MAGA movement.

Let's swing districts in the WI leg and in Congress to work towards policies a majority support: paid family leave, common-sense gun laws, affordable child care, housing, and health care, and taxing the rich.

#DemocracyValentine

Fascism often takes hold through gradual, "quiet" acceptance by the public & institutions.

And the signs of fascism abound.

Lend your voice in nonviolent protest.

Pres. Trump has a US Cabinet w/ a combined estimated wealth of $60B.

The top .0001% richest people are so far from our everyday lives, they couldn't possible govern for the masses.

And they don't. So it's up to us to elect reps that believe in democracy -- not the oligarchy.

Trump promised, "I'm not going to start a war, I'm going to stop the wars."

But the administration is threatening NATO allies over Trump's imperialistic ambitions and has even kidnapped the Venezuelan president.

Now, Trump says the US will indefinitely control Venezuela's oil.

President Trump and his MAGA supporters continue to usurp the rule of law.

This can't stand in a free and fair democracy.

Call your reps and tell them no one should be above the rule of law. Not with the #Epsteinfiles and not w/ the murder of folx on the streets by fed agents.

Trump wants a third term

Under the First Amendment of the US Constitution we have a right to dissent through free speech, assembly, and petition.

When our democracy is on the line, it's an obligation, too.

Economic inequality erodes democracy.

Profitable corporations and the super rich are paying very little in taxes, and oligarchs have an outsized say in our democracy.

It is past time to tax the rich.
