An Ignoble Experiment: This is a critical victory for our democracy, Lewis

Lewis, earlier this week Wisconsin held the most important election of 2023. Voters were given a choice between fairness or extremism – between the protection of reproductive rights and voting rights or the destruction of both.

Our fellow citizens made their voices heard loud and clear by electing Judge Janet Protasiewicz. This is a critical victory for our democracy – and I couldn't be more proud that our grassroots movement helped make it happen.

Donate to the NDRC's nationwide democracy saving work

For more than a decade, Wisconsin Republicans put in place multiple structural barriers to fair representation – including a gerrymandered legislature, voter suppression laws, and a conservative court majority that was wildly out of step with the public. But we never gave up on democracy in Wisconsin. Instead, we went to work to mobilize communities to elect Democracy Defenders, protect voting rights, advocate for fair redistricting, and more.

Our efforts have paid off. Together, we proved once again that there is no fight we cannot win when voters are engaged.

That's how our grassroots movement helped bring Wisconsin closer to equal representation this week, and it's how we'll continue to win in the ongoing fight to protect democracy all across the country.

Victories like this would not be possible without grassroots supporters like you, Lewis. Will you pitch in today to help the NDRC continue fighting for a stronger democracy all across the country?

Thank you for being part of this movement. We go on from here.
