This site was started in 2005 to help organize local like-minded allies around environmental protection, climate action, human rights, support for public programs and institutions, free and fair elections, no wars, and more. It was meant to be a community bulletin board to help people connect and to avoid two great events being scheduled against each other.
But, it's not easy to always know what's going on, who speaks for whom, and what others are doing already that might benefit what you are trying to do. Especially now that we have myriad platforms (many owned by the oligarchs we are protesting please remember!) it's easy for things to be missed.
You don't have to sign up for anything to view this site, to post on the calendar, to call for action, to share your event. I've thought about switching to the WordPress platform which isn't part of the Alphabet empire, but almost twenty years of posting seems like too big a lift right now. But, for those who are not and don't want to sign up for (and, in many cases, give up rights to sensitive personal data to) those platforms, we hope to provide as much information as possible to help people support and defend those programs, values, and institutions.
You can help! Please use the contact form to send a guest blog post or ask to be a cp blogger, send info about a one time program or activity or a recurring demonstration or meeting, or highlight a local issue that needs our attention.
In addition, groups like Our Wisconsin Revolution, For Our Future, Indivisible, Wisconsin Progress, MoveOn, Working Families Party, Third Act, La Crosse Dems, DSA, A Better Wisconsin Together, and others are hosting meet-ups, planning sessions, and events but who is on every mailing list? Yikes!
When we hear of something, we will post it here. Use the calendar form to tell us about events. Use the contact form to send a guest blog or message.
Weekly demonstrations that we know about (send us info about others please):
- Thursdays at noon at 4th & Main - Women in Black vigil
- Thursdays at 5 p.m. at Mormon Coulee Rd & Losey Blvd - anti-ICE
- Fridays at noon at City Hall lot (La Crosse St & 4th St) - Honk & Wave
