Dear John, one of our members received this from the WAVE Educational Fund and we feel it is worth passing on! [edited for past primary]

We, as Wisconsinites and residents of the United States of America, face many massive crises right now. Among others, they include the COVID-19 pandemic; severe economic hardship; the lack of adequate, affordable healthcare; the climate crisis; structural racism and police brutality; and an epidemic of gun violence, including suicides, domestic violence, and homicides. On November 3, 2020, we must vote to elect officials who can help us overcome these crises and help foster safe, healthy, thriving communities.

The first essential step is to register to vote. Even if you believe you are registered to vote, check your registration status to ensure that it reflects your current address and that elections officials have not erroneously removed you from the Wisconsin Voter Roll. October 14, 2020, is the last day to register to vote online or by mail for the November 3 Election. 
>>Register to vote (or check your registration status) here: https://wave.votewisconsin.com/.

Thanks!
Heidi

Do you still have an account(s) or credit cards with Chase, Wells Fargo, Capital One, BMO, etc.?  Take a look at this short video - even if you're not at these banks.

Divest -  four minute video, recommended by Bill McKibben

An animation about divesting from fossil fuels with drawings and narration by youth from Bay Area Earth Guardians Crew and Youth vs Apocalypse.

What is divestment? It's when a person or organization takes money OUT of certain types of banks, companies and funds. Divestment can take power away from industries that are causing really big harm. Divestment frees up money to be INVESTED in solutions, like green jobs.
