12 Ways to Save Democracy in Wisconsin

Wisconsin is a state with a rich history of democracy and civic engagement. However, in recent years, our democracy has come under attack from a variety of forces, including gerrymandering, voter suppression, and the rise of dark money in politics.

These threats to our democracy are not just abstract concepts. They have real-world consequences for the people of Wisconsin. Gerrymandering has led to a state legislature that is not representative of the will of the people. Voter suppression has made it harder for people to participate in the electoral process. And dark money has corrupted our political system, giving a disproportionate voice to wealthy special interests.

We cannot afford to sit idly by while our democracy is eroded. We must take action to save our democracy and ensure that it remains a beacon of hope for future generations.

Here are 12 ways to save democracy in Wisconsin:

1. Support organizations that are working to protect democracy. There are a number of organizations in Wisconsin that are working to protect democracy. These organizations need our support, both financial and volunteer. Some of these organizations include:
   • The League of Women Voters of Wisconsin
   • Common Cause Wisconsin
   • The American Civil Liberties Union of Wisconsin
   • Democracy for America
   • MoveOn.org
2. Run for office. One of the best ways to save democracy is to get involved in the political process. If you are passionate about democracy, consider running for office. You can run for a local office, such as city council or school board, or you can run for a state or federal office.
3. Support candidates who support democracy. When you vote, it is important to support candidates who support democracy. Look for candidates who are committed to fighting gerrymandering, voter suppression, and dark money in politics.
4. Volunteer your time to campaigns. If you don't have time to run for office yourself, you can still volunteer your time to campaigns. You can help with a variety of tasks, such as canvassing, phone banking, and data entry.
5. Donate to campaigns. If you can afford it, please consider donating to campaigns. Financial contributions help candidates get their message out to voters and win elections.
6. Educate yourself about the issues. It is important to be informed about the issues facing our democracy. Read books, articles, and news stories about gerrymandering, voter suppression, and dark money in politics. The more you know about these issues, the better equipped you will be to fight for democracy.
7. Talk to your friends and family about democracy. Talk to your friends and family about the importance of democracy. Encourage them to get involved in the political process and support candidates who support democracy.
8. Be a good citizen. One of the best ways to save democracy is to be a good citizen. Obey the law, pay your taxes, and participate in your community. By being a good citizen, you are helping to create a more just and equitable society.
9. Never give up. The fight for democracy is never easy. There will be setbacks along the way. But we cannot give up. We must continue to fight for democracy, even when it is difficult.
10. Be hopeful. Even though the challenges facing our democracy are great, we must remain hopeful. We must believe that we can save our democracy and create a better future for Wisconsin.
11. Remember, democracy is worth fighting for. Democracy is not a perfect system, but it is the best system we have. Democracy allows us to choose our own leaders, have a say in our government, and hold our leaders accountable. Democracy is worth fighting for.

We must not take our democracy for granted. We must fight to protect it from those who would undermine it. By supporting organizations that are working to protect democracy, running for office, supporting candidates who support democracy, volunteering our time to campaigns, donating to campaigns, educating ourselves about the issues, talking to our friends and family about democracy, being good citizens, never giving up, being hopeful, and remembering that democracy is worth fighting for, we can save our democracy and ensure that it remains a beacon of hope for future generations.
