While national politicians seek to divide us, we know that when we show up for our community, nothing can stop us from coming together and making a change.

Fill out this form to apply for a paid opportunity to be an Election Captain in your neighborhood. Being an Election Captain means being a leader on your block, in your neighborhood, and for the upcoming election. We will provide training and materials at every step of the process.

Where does climate action go from here?

From attacks on climate science by the current administration to the faltering of international climate negotiations and the rise of disinformation, the past few years have presented unprecedented challenges for everyone working on advancing science-based climate solutions.

Katharine and Jon will explore what it takes to connect across differences, how to communicate climate science with accuracy and empathy, and where in the world to look for meaningful action.

Protests today

After the Noon No Kings protest at Losey & State Road, there's a 4 to 6 p.m. protest planned near an Onalaska restaurant.

SEE THE DETAILS HERE.

It's amazing and not amazing in the age of the orange one and the gaslighting and the "broligarchy." But, it can't be ignored. 

A local restaurant owner's online discussion about men versus women (https://kroc.com/wisconsin-restaurant-owner-video-protest/) makes you wonder what decade some people are living in.

The UWL Racquet report, "Angelini’s Ristorante owner defends YouTube video berating women servers amid online backlash," shows it wasn't a mistake.

Protestors will meet at the Hwy 35 roundabout near the restaurant. Park in the OmniCenter lot per organizers.
