SWWAP HOSTING MOUNT HOREB NO KINGS IN
MOUNT HOREB 1- 3 PM
AT LIBERTY PARK
| | |
On Saturday, March 28, we find ourselves standing at a pivotal crossroads in history, where the power of unity will echo louder than ever before. Together, we are summoned to rise in unprecedented numbers to deliver a resounding message: NOT IN OUR NAME! As proud citizens of the United States, we categorically reject the brutality and injustices that have seeped into the fabric of our nation under Trump's regime, both at home and abroad. This is our moment to turn the tide and become the change we wish to see, for silence in the face of such tyranny only allows the shadows of oppression to grow. Let us light the path forward with our voices, our hearts, and our unwavering commitment to democracy and the rule of law. Together, we can craft a future that resonates with civility, hope and justice.
When we act as one, we can turn the tide of history and ensure that our collective voice is heard loud and clear!

WHY SUPPORT CHRIS TAYLOR
FOR SUPREME COURT?
| | |
Chris Taylor has a long history of speaking up for constitutional rights and civil liberties. While authoritarian forces were attacking union rights and arresting individuals for practicing their First Amendment rights, Assemblywoman Chris Taylor stood up for the rule of law.
As a Judge, Chris Taylor applies equal justice to those who came before her bench. As a Justice she will continue her work on behalf of we, the people of Wisconsin.
We are proud to support Chris Taylor
for Wisconsin Supreme Court
