The Constitutional Amendment on the November 5 ballot is harmful and can diminish our voting rights. Join the League of Women Voters of Wisconsin for this virtual program to learn why you should vote no to this constitutional amendment. Learn what's at stake. This constitutional amendment aims to divide us. Let's come together and vote no! Our voting rights are literally on the ballot with this amendment. The change from "every" to "only" is a downgrade to all of our voting rights. The language changes our constitutionally protected voting rights from a guarantee for all citizens to a limitation that could be used to erode our voting rights. Speakers: Attorney Dan Lenz from Law Forward iuscely Flores from Wisconsin Fair Maps Coalition and Wisconsin Democracy Campaign Attorney Jasleen Singh from Brennan https://lnkd.in/gCUv6pUa

Still curious about our pivot and our new role as an intermediary? Read this great article from the wise Vu Le: "Intermediaries mobilize organizations and people around policy and advocacy, help develop the capacity of organizations so they can help their constituents to vote, allow donors and funders to get money out quickly to the nonprofits that could do the most effective work, support candidates from marginalized communities to be elected, etc. They are absolutely essential at this moment when democracy in the US is facing an existential threat." https://lnkd.in/gEU_xVRz

Be an Informed Voter! Vote April 2nd! ?VOTE NO Q1: For our elections to run smoothly, election workers need to be able to do their jobs safely and securely. Limiting election funding deprives them from needed resources to safeguard our elections and ensure all Wisconsinites have equal opportunity to exercise their freedom to vote. We support fully-funded elections and that’s why we’re voting NO in April. #VoteNoWisconsin #FundOurElections ?VOTE NO Q2: Elections are a lot of work. Clerks rely on a whole host of outside experts, volunteers, and community members to make sure our elections are run smoothly and the results are accurate. A handful of politicians want to make the jobs of our election heroes even harder. ??That’s why we’re voting no this April! #VoteNoWisconsin https://lnkd.in/e2CjrDCE
