Our Eight-week Tour for Justice and Democracy is Over! 4/4/23
Thank you to all of our local and statewide partners who made it all possible.
Due to Covid, we missed one of the weekends, but we held seven summits and had tour stop events in ten different communities across Wisconsin.
It is looking like all of our efforts will pay off and that we will have record voter turnout before this day is though.
Thank you all for voting, for getting your community to vote, and for all that you do for justice and democracy.
April 5th, we are hosting two important next steps meetings:
The Monthly Building Unity first Wed. of the Month Core Team Meetin at 8:30 a.m. CT.
All are welcome. Even if you’ve never been to a Building Unity meeting and you are just curious, you are very welcome.
The next Youth and Young Adults and Allies planning meeting will be at 8:00 p.m. The young leaders of Building Unity and their allies are planning to hold a statewide in-person all-day summit on May 20th and by the end of tomorrow’s meeting we will have a location selected for this.
Both of these meetings can be accessed at the same Zoom link:
