Wisconsin Fair Maps Coalition Help us pass #FairMaps legislation that puts people first and ensures fairness for future generations. Attend a Fair Maps Community Hearing!

Wisconsin just adopted new maps for state legislative districts.

But this isn't a new system, just new maps.

Wisconsin needs an independent redistricting commission to prevent politicians from gerrymandering our maps again in 2030.

Trump & Republicans cut Medicaid and food aid for millions of American families, and then launched a billion $ war in Iran that Congress never approved. He found $ for bombs but not for your groceries or your doctor's visits. And families will suffer.

When profitable corporations and the richest in the US pay their fair share, communities have the resources to thrive.

Instead, Trump and the Republican party have provided massive tax breaks to the very richest while cutting aid to help families afford food and go to the doctor.

Democracy is a team sport.

Work with a loved one, chosen family, or best friend to make sure we flip as many seats as we can in November to candidates that believe in voting rights, independent redistricting, checks and balances, and democracy!

The Constitution guarantees rights to all "persons" in the US,
including undocumented immigrants.

When the Trump administration undermines any person's rights -- regardless of citizenship status, documenttation, or race and ethnicity -- it's a threat to our freedom & democracy.

Voters are rejecting Trump and the fascist MAGA movement.

Let's swing districts in the WI leg and in Congress to work towards policies a majority support: paid family leave, common-sense gun laws, affordable child care, housing, and health care, and taxing the rich.

Fascism often takes hold through gradual, "quiet" acceptance by the public & institutions.

And the signs of fascism abound.

Lend your voice in nonviolent protest.

Pres. Trump has a US Cabinet w/ a combined estimated wealth of $60B.

The top .0001% richest people are so far from our everyday lives, they couldn't possible govern for the masses.

And they don't. So it's up to us to elect reps that believe in democracy -- not the oligarchy.
