350MKE is joining forces with 350 Wisconsin Action and other organizations to give our members some options to take action and make a difference in the Wisconsin 2022 mid-term election.
The upcoming midterm election will have huge consequences for the climate. Governor Evers and Mandela Barnes are climate champions who will fight for strong, just climate policy. Their opponents are dangerous climate deniers. The choice cannot be more clear. We need your help to re-elect Tony Evers for Governor and to elect Mandela Barnes to the Senate!

We will be joining NextGen on Tuesday, September 20, for tabling at Madison College, UW Milwaukee, Marquette, UW Oshkosh, and UW Stout.

We are urgently hiring canvassers to register new voters in key districts to maintain a Democratic majority after the 2022 midterm elections. During this campaign, we will be focusing on registering underrepresented and marginalized voters. Now more than ever, it is crucial that we work to expand voting rights, increase voter turnout, and ensure that the electorate accurately reflects the true makeup of America. Get paid well! Canvass positions start at $20/hour. Leadership positions start at $22/hour. We offer overtime pay, driver bonuses, shift bonuses, paid training, sick pay, and bonuses for friend referrals.

Phone and text bank for the NAACP
The NAACP is seeking volunteers for phone and text banking. This is a message from Dominik Whitehead, Vice President of Campaigns: “In previous elections, NAACP volunteers and members showed up in force, and demonstrated the power of their vote. Together, we inspired greater turnout within Black communities, leading to more representation at EVERY level including state and local governments, the White House, Congress, and even the Supreme Court. It’s on all of us to keep pushing for proper representation at a moment when our rights, our livelihoods, and our people are at risk. Today, we’re asking you to join us during the upcoming election in calling or texting Black voters to exercise their right to power! You can help empower Black voters by signing up to volunteer.” For more information and to volunteer, click here and you’ll be directed to the NAACP’s registration form.

Saturday, October 15, 12pm. (MORE...) Organized By: Sierra Club Wisconsin Chapter
Location: Zeidler Park - 301 W Michigan St, Milwaukee Event Organizers: Cassie Steiner cassandra.steiner@sierraclub.org Elizabeth Ward elizabeth.ward@sierraclub.org What is happening?
Before We Energies can increase how much it charges customers, it must get permission from the Public Service Commission (PSC), a branch of the government. They must explain how much money they need and why. The PSC asks the public and experts for input and decides how much to allow the utility to increase rates. During 'rate cases' like these, We Energies often makes agreements with organizations that are concerned about the proposal. What is We Energies asking for? Increases to gas and electrical rates:
We Energies is claiming this increase is because they are building more clean energy, but they have also announced plans to keep expensive coal plants running. Last year, they announced plans to build a new gas storage facility, even though it was proven that an energy efficiency program would have saved ratepayers money.

WE MARCHED FOR CLIMATE REPARATIONS AND JUSTICE! Join us for the Global Climate Strike as we demand policymakers and world leaders to prioritize #PeopleNotProfit!

Then we'll march to Chase Bank Tower (short speeches and dance). From there we'll march to Senators Durbin & Duckworth's office building and then return to Pritzker Park.

To make eating out a more sustainable affair, Marissa Jablonski, a plastic-free expert and the executive director at the Freshwater Collaborative of Wisconsin, keeps a to-go food kit in her car and bike bag." - Apartment Therapy |
