Republicans are proposing to extend the current set of gerrymandered election maps. Delays with the census data have made the redistricting timeline tight, and the GOP are using that as an excuse to propose keeping rigged maps in place for another year. This bill is being fast tracked to prevent public input. A public hearing will occur Monday and the committee vote Tuesday. Read the testimony from the Wisconsin Democracy Campaign for more information.

Call your State Legislators and ask them to oppose Senate Bill 385 and Assembly Bill 369.

What to say:

“Hi, my name is [NAME] and I’m a constituent at [ADDRESS].

I’m calling to ask my local legislators to oppose Senate Bill 385 and Assembly Bill 369 which would shift the redistricting timeline. A federal court ruled the current set of election maps an unconstitutional gerrymander. Wisconsinites deserve new, fairer maps before any more elections take place. Thank you.”

When to Call: ASAP

Right now, the Wisconsin Senate and the Assembly are rushing a raft of anti-voter bills through the Legislature.

Yesterday, the Senate voted to pass three proposals (Senate Bills 207, 210 and 213) that were passed out of committee just the day before.

Today, both Senate and Assembly committees take up more anti-voter bills in public hearings: AB194 companion to SB213 and SB204, 205, 211.

We need you to contact your legislators – today or by the end of the week! – to voice your strong opposition and protect the freedom to vote.

To contact your legislators, call the toll-free legislative hotline at 1-800-362-9472 during normal business hours. Or send them an email:
