The Wisconsin Climate Voter campaign is moving ahead to turn out thousands of environmental voters for the November 5th general election. We did a fantastic job of educating voters through our postcarding, phone banking and conversations leading up to the August primary, and we also helped defeat the constitutional amendments that would have slowed down our transition to clean energy in Wisconsin.
Here’s the plan for our work this fall as we head into the November election:
- Postcarding! We will again mail 20,000 handwritten postcards to encourage low frequency voters to be sure to vote in November. Most of those are already distributed to people. the postcards must be put in the mail on October 15th. Email cclwisco@gmail.com if you or someone in your chapter would like to get involved. More info here.
- Phone banking starts Thursday, September 19, 6-7:45 pm and will continue every Thursday night until the election. We would love to have more help with this. The interactive script will be more climate-focused and, as always, training is provided each week. In addition, we’ll hold a special training on our new script on Thursday September 12th. More info here.
- Individual action by each of us to reach out to our personal and casual networks remains important. You have many tools for doing that: email, postcards, social media, and personal conversations. You can get ideas and make a plan using our November Election Personal Worksheet.
- Join our new Zoom co-working sessions! Climate work is more fun when you have company, so bring your work to the zoom session and work alongside other people. You can also get ideas or help while you’re there. We’re holding them twice a week in September and October (on Tuesday and Saturday mornings from 9:30-10:30 am). Learn more about it on our website post.
- Stay up-to-date on our plans, and get everything you need at our campaign website page: https://cclwi.org/wisconsin-climate-voter-campaign/ or in the CCLWI calendar.
