THE DEMOCRATIC RESOURCE CENTER OFFICE NEEDS YOUR HELP
The DRC still has a lot of post-election cleanup and organizing to do, more than the front desk volunteers can manage: organizing sign wires, shredding, putting yard signs together, managing nomination papers, making buttons, etc. So, WHEN YOU HAVE AN HOUR OR TWO OF FREE TIME, PLEASE COME TO DRC TO HELP THE FRONT DESK STAFF WITH THESE TASKS.
The Coffee Klatch’s main purpose is to engage all citizens in meaningful discussion about political values and policies. The most important component of a functional democracy is an informed electorate. Join others for interesting conversation about current events or pressing issues.
Time: Thurs 10:00 am - 12:00 pm - April 30 - Guest: Emily Berge, 3rd CD Candidate Location: Live @ the DRC, 440 Broadway St., Eau Claire or on ZOOM

Sign the pledge to protect the 2026 elections!
From a last-minute switch to precinct-based assigned polls in Dallas County to a sudden FBI raid of the Fulton County election office, it’s clear that the Trump administration and republican officials are gearing up for some serious shenanigans this election. Our democracy depends on every voter having an equal chance to cast a ballot and have their vote fairly counted. That’s why Indivisible is launching the Election Protection Corps.
The Election Protection Corps is a grassroots network of volunteers located in Alaska, Georgia, Iowa, Michigan, North Carolina, Ohio, and Texas dedicated to protecting the right to vote before, during, and after the 2026 election. When federal protections are removed, defending democracy becomes a community effort.
Sign the pledge today to commit to joining the Election Protection Corps. By signing up now, you’ll receive strategic updates via email and text, training opportunities, and critical calls to action during key election protection moments in your state.
Support Law Forward at the Lismore! Enjoy appetizers and refreshments while connecting with others who care deeply about democracy and public education in Wisconsin. READ MORE RSVP by May 8
