La Crosse Citizens' Climate Lobby

CCL's mission is to have revenue-neutral carbon fee and dividend legislation enacted by Congress as soon as possible. 

CCL worked with both the House and Senate to have energy innovation and carbon dividend bills introduced in 2018.

CCL's goal in 2019 will continue to be having Congress pass legislation putting a progressive fee on greenhouse gas emissions and returning the funds collected to Americans.

La Crosse Neighborhoods, Inc.

Our mission is to advocate for initiatives and programs that proteIn ct, preserve and improve all of the neighborhoods in the La Crosse area for all of the residents. 

LCNI added 2 new neighborhood organizations as chapters, hosted the city-wide Fall Family Social and Spring Into Your Neighborhood Events, and started the Veterans Memorial Pool Campaign fundraising project

In 2019, we'll continue supporting new, forming and existing neighborhood associations as well as serve as the go-to organization for grass-roots activities of residents and neighborhood associations in the La Crosse community.
 


La Crosse United to Amend

Wisconsin United To Amend (WIUTA) is a non-partisan state network of concerned citizens dedicated to restoring our representative democracy, by minimizing the corruptive influence that money has on our political process. We seek to overturn Citizens United and related Supreme Court decisions so we may reclaim the liberties and privileges guaranteed in the U.S. Constitution for real people.

In 2018, we successfully petitioned the La Crosse City Council to include a resolution as a referendum question on the April 3, 2018 ballot about whether the voter would support an amendment to the Constitution stating that only human beings are endowed with constitutional rights and that money is not speech.The citizens approved this resolution by 88%

In 2019, we plan to continue working to pass these resolutions in the all the municipalities in the Wisconsin in order to convince our legislators to join the many other states who have passed state resolutions.

Wisconsin Conservation Voters

Our main mission is to engage voters to protect Wisconsin's environment.

Wisconsin Conservation voters was involved in 3 major elections in 2018--two special senate elections and the gubernatorial election--and had a role in electing conservation champions to our legislature, state treasurer's office, justice department, and the governor's mansion.

Our goal in 2019 is to work with local governments and the Evers administration to pass proactive policies to protect clean water, to move the clean energy movement forward, and to defend voter rights.
