Today:
For April 19th we want to focus a bit more on our local politicians, mainly Derrick Van Orden who keeps dodging our town halls. If you would like to make signs, we would love to see them! Ideas that we have are Where's Derrick in the theme of "Where's Waldo," Derrick the Menace in the theme of "Denice the Menace."
But the big thing we really want to focus on having a positive community event based on educating others on the resources that we have in our area and how we can help support them. Please see the below message:
Much like Trump and Musk, we can't count on our local politicians to fight for us. When our local programs are getting cut and the people in our communities are suffering, where is our local representation?
Derrick Van Orden may continue to dodge our town halls but we can still show up for one another! Come join us once again at the Cross sections of State Road and Losey Boulevard to come together once again as a community.
This will be another non-violent visibility community event! Bring your signs, and if you are able to, bring a non perishable food item or hygiene item for our local Wafer Food Pantry that supplies the hungry people in La Crosse and the surrounding area. We want to be more community focused so bring your knowledge about a community need or non-profit and share with those around you! When you get to the event there is no need to spread out, get to know your fellow neighbors and share what you learn about our resources!
There are two goals of this visibility event:
Continued momentum in solidarity against Trump and Musk and our local politicians who are engaging in similar conduct. Call them out on their recess! Bringing the community of La Crosse and the surrounding areas together and being able to take care of our neighbors. We invite you to join us with this event, meet your neighbors, share stories and build on how we can continue to take care of each other through the continued cuts.
Secondly, I am announcing the May Day Strong Protest. The event is live on Mobilize. For more details, please use the following link
The La Crosse County Democratic Party office, 2318 State Rd, will be available for immediate use of the restroom and a drinking fountain.
Please plan ahead to park on side streets as we did on April 5th. No cars were towed from the K-Mart parking lot but we cannot guarantee that will not happen. Plan to bike, walk, car pool, or bus to the event if you can! Plan ahead to have someone drop you off if you need accommodations for disabilities and bring a chair or something to sit on if you need it. Before the event, eat something, take medications and fill a reusable water bottle.
Be careful about stepping into the street, blocking driveways, sidewalks, and traffic. Please do not stand in the middle intersections as that is not safe and we do not want anyone to get hurt! It's much harder to use your voice if you're in the hospital.
Don't engage with counter protesteers!
Additional safety information will be available soon for those attending their first protest event.
