  • OPPOSE A NATIONAL SALES TAX
    With House Republicans pushing for a deeply regressive 30% national sales tax, Democrats are standing up to make it clear they won’t let it happen. Senators Jacky Rosen (D-NV) and Jon Tester (D-MT) have introduced a resolution formally opposing this proposal. They already have 12 co-sponsorsLet’s contact our senators and ask them to join this effort, and tell our members of the House that we want them to block a sales tax and focus on making the wealthy pay their fair share.
  • LEARN PERSUASIVE CONVERSATION SKILLSIf we are looking to tackle extremism in our communities, it can help to find ways to communicate effectively about hot button issues with our friends. To help us do so Red, Wine and Blue  is sponsoring a free, online event, “Troublemaker Training: Comms 101 w/ Jess McIntosh.” This Thursday, March 2, 2023, from 7:30 PM – 8:30 PM ET, we can learn some new skills and polish up old ones with Jess, a communication strategist, CNN commentator, and former host of Signal Boost. We’ll get tips and advice on how to have persuasive conversations, including what to say and what not to say, and how to connect with others. We can click here to learn more about this workshop and, sign up.

  • WISCONSIN SUPREME COURT ELECTIONThere’s only a little over a month to go until Wisconsin’s April 4 election that will determine who gets the open seat on the state supreme court. As the race gains more national attention, outside groups will continue to play a larger role in the state election. We can help ensure that residents of Wisconsin maintain power in their own election; Vote Forward is an organization that focuses on boosting voter turnout in underrepresented communities through letter writing campaigns. Each campaign has thorough directions, and Vote Forward will walk us through the process on how to complete our letters. Let’s join other Vote Forward volunteers, and urge Wisconsinites to vote in the upcoming April 4th election.



STATE-SPECIFIC ACTIONS

  • FL:  FLORIDA VOTERS & MAIL-IN BALLOTS: If we are Florida voters who had signed up by the end of 2022 to automatically receive a mail-in ballot for every election for up to four years—beware! Our requests for mail-in ballots have likely been canceled under a new voter suppression law championed by Republican Governor Ron DeSantis. Let’s renew our requests for mail-in ballots today—and spread the word among our families, friends, and neighbors!
