What The Hell America!

Yesterday was a bad day for Elon Musk and Donald Trump and a good day for democracy. Even after Musk spent more than $20 MILLION to buy a seat on Wisconsin’s top court, Susan Crawford won — and the liberal majority on Wisconsin’s Supreme Court is safe!

This isn’t just a loss for Trump, Musk, and their lapdog Brad Schimel; it’s a wholesale rejection of oligarchy. The people of this country don’t want their courts stacked with bought-and-paid-for judges who’ll do the bidding of Musk and his billionaire friends. The vote results convey that loud and clear.

And this isn’t just a victory for Susan Crawford and Wisconsin. It’s a HUGE win for all of America.

With this win, Wisconsin could finally get fair congressional maps — potentially creating enough competitive districts in that state alone to tip the House nationwide. And because Wisconsin’s so often a lab for cruel MAGA policies, women, workers, LGBTQ+ folks, and immigrant communities nationwide are safer with Susan Crawford on the bench.

So how did we overcome Trump’s minions and Musk’s millions? By organizing everyday people all across Wisconsin to show up and be heard.

We won because Indivisibles and grassroots organizers — from folks on the ground in every corner of Wisconsin, to virtual volunteers across the country — did the work. Here’s some of what our local chapters, allies, and Indivisibles nationwide (like you!) did together:

SENT OVER 14,000 POSTCARDS to Wisconsin voters and 25,800 LETTERS through our partnership with Vote Forward

KNOCKED ON 2,757 DOORS via our Neighbor2Neighbor program and many more through traditional canvasses to speak face-to-face with voters about the importance of the Supreme Court election

MADE 379,455 PHONE CALLS to help Wisconsin voters make a plan to vote for Susan Crawford

SENT 250,000+ TEXT MESSAGES to remind voters about the upcoming election

DONATED OVER 4,000 TIMES to fund the infrastructure and organizing needed to overcome Musk’s millions

Thank you so much for making this victory possible! It’s a huge win for democracy that will set the tone for even bigger wins to come, but we can’t let our foot off the gas for one second…

Yesterday was Wisconsin’s day to be heard. This Saturday, April 5, is for all of us. Because that’s when hundreds of thousands of Americans at over 1,000 protests will gather to tell Musk, Trump, and their enablers: HANDS OFF our democracy.

If you’re ready to make yourself heard and hand Musk another L, register to join your nearest HANDS OFF! event this Saturday — and let’s make this the biggest day of protests since Trump and Musk took office.

Last night, Susan Crawford’s win sent the message that the people will always be more powerful than an oligarch’s pocketbook. On Saturday, we’ll underline and bold that message.

We hope to see you there.
