From Swing Left Philadelphia:

Thank you to everyone who attended the protest on February 17th, and to those who made it back out again for the HELU (Higher Education Labor Union) on February 19th.
Every action we take builds our movement and strengthens our resistance. Change is hard, change is slow, but we are going to have some victories this year and we will flip the House in 2026.
No fooling: the Wisconsin State Supreme Court election on April 1 is a “blockbuster political fight.”
Let’s win this: here are 3 actions you can take.
Write letters to targeted voters in Wisconsin. Go to votefwd.org and grab those letters and start writing. If you want company and some help in deciding what to say, join Janet and others Thursday at 7:00 pm. Sign up here for our letter writing party: https://www.mobilize.us/swingleft/event/758557/
Letters to Wisconsin voters about the State Supreme Court election are here!
If you’ve written before, you’ll have already gotten that notice. If you haven’t yet written, go get an account and get ready. It is easy and impactful. We will be setting up online letters to voters events so you can have company when you write and share ideas about what to say. Our first event is Thursday the 28th. We will send the link soon and it will be on our Swing Left Philadelphia facebook page.
Phone bank to Wisconsin Go to www.mobilize.us/swingleft and use the pulldown menu at the top to find a phone bank to Wisconsin.

Keep those switchboards busy. Keep their numbers in your phone! Use their email links and write.
