Welcome to the Antidote!
Hello, Freedom Writers!
In Today’s Post:
It’s happening … 3 Steps to Start Taking Action
FW INFO SHEETS - For Your Information
Postcards to WI Voters - Yay! We’re writing postcards again!
5 Calls Actions - 4 Great new actions to take
It’s Happening …
Yay! The general public, including many Trump voters, are beginning to notice how bad things are getting. When some Republican Representatives went back to their districts over the break, they were met with boos and hisses over Trump’s bad decisions. Read this … (I’m trying not to gloat!)
Some Republicans Hammered at Home over DOGE and Ukraine
As a result, a growing number of new people are ready to take action to protect our democracy.
If you are one of those people, WELCOME!
If you’ve been at this for a while, please welcome our new friends. Embrace them. Help them get connected.
NOTE: All of our seasoned activist organizers in the national and regional groups are overwhelmed with this new influx of people. This is a blessing, yes, but they are having trouble keeping up.
WE NEED EVERYONE to HELP your fellow newbies find their way into their local groups (or get one started) and get up to speed.
