In addition to being a DemCast volunteer leader for the last several years, I am also volunteer for Silver Spring Progressive Action (“SSPA”), a grassroots organization in which I’m the Social Media Lead. We focus solely on elections, and on actions where we can make a difference. We mainly work on tight races that we think with our efforts, can either flip a seat or hold onto a seat. You can read more about SSPA and the work we do here.

SSPA often holds Zoom events with politicians, candidates running for office, organizers, or guest speakers who can give us a perspective and better understanding of what’s going on with races, issues, Congress, and discuss how our actions can further help Democratic wins especially in tight races. We also host phonebanks for candidates who are in tight races.

Helping in Wisconsin!

SSPA is working on the Wisconsin Supreme Court election on April 1st. We all know how important this election is. 2 years ago with all of our volunteer help, we elected Janet Protasiewicz which gave the Court a liberal majority. Since then, their rulings have increased voting rights, struck down gerrymandered legislative maps, and led to breaking the Republican super-majority. Soon the court will decide whether the 1849 abortion ban can be enforced. Now with a liberal justice retiring, all of these accomplishments of the Court are at risk. If the districts are gerrymandered again, it could have serious national implications in the 2026 midterm elections where Republicans can continue to control the House. It is vital that Susan Crawford, a fair jurist and who believes in the rule of law, is elected on 4/1 to become the next WI Supreme Court justice so that the Court would likely continue to rule in favor of Wisconsinites.

SSPA has a zoom event and a phonebanking opportunity to help elect Susan Crawford:

Zoom Event!

Please come to our “Protect the Wisconsin Supreme Court!” Zoom event on Monday 03/03/25 , 7:00-8:30 pm ET. You will learn how we can become more effective communicators to voters and connect with them better. By joining our program, you will also learn how we can help elect Judge Susan Crawford to continue the positive directions of the Court.

Please register here! You will come away even more fired up and ready to help Susan Crawford get elected.

We are featuring three guest speakers from these excellent organizations:

Ben Wikler, Chair of the Wisconsin Democratic Party – one of the most ambitious and strategic state parties in the country

Chris Walloch, Executive Director of A Better Wisconsin Together – developing cutting-edge communications products and strategies

Darby O’Connor, State Director of Wisco – inspiring and mobilizing thousands of Wisconsin’s college students to vote blue

Phonebank!

Phonebank opportunity to Activate Wisconsin Democrats to Win the Supreme Court Race.

Check our calendar, and join us at 7:00-8:30 PM ET. Help activate Democratic friendly WI residents to help get out the vote on 4/1. We are calling Wisconsinites because we need to increase name recognition for Susan Crawford - candidates will not be identified by party on the ballot.

Thank you and I look forward to you joining us so we can not only help Susan Crawford get elected, but secure WI voting rights, women’s rights, and an opportunity to flip Congress in 2026 to stop trump, musk, and MAGA Republicans’ dangerous policies.
