Action 1: Wisconsin Canvassing on Saturday
TOMORROW, Saturday, August 6 join us knocking doors in neighboring Wisconsin to help win critical contests this year for Governor and U.S. Senate in this key battleground state. We'll depart Chicago at 7:15am from Backlot Coffee (3982 N Avondale Ave) for Waukesha. Following a briefing at 9:00am, we'll canvass the rest of the morning with partners from the Waukesha Democratic Party, then de-brief over pizza.
Anyone who wants to can continue to canvass during the afternoon. We’ll arrange deep canvassing, minivan training, and info needed to have effective one-on-one conversations with voters and pair you with a veteran canvasser if this is your first time or you need a refresher. Carpools are available for those who need a ride.
Action 2: Public Comment to Protect Trans Children’s Rights
Joe Biden has proposed a change to Title IX to protect the rights of trans children in schools, and the proposal is open for public comment. The comments are currently being flooded by anti-trans misinformation and bigotry. NOW is your chance to stand up for trans rights!
Take a few minutes today to leave a public comment on this proposed change. Some points to consider for your comments:
Title IX has protected women’s rights for decades. As our understanding of sex and gender continues to change, we must also protect the rights of trans and gender-nonconforming children in schools. They, too, have a right to an education and our protection.
The proposed rule is a necessary change that is within the rights of the Department of Education to protect all children in schools.
