JULY 2026
It's up to Us to Defend our Democracy! Every elected official swears an oath to uphold our constitution—elected Republicans have betrayed that oath as they put the needs of a wannabe king and his MAGA cult ahead of Wisconsinites. True patriotism includes standing up and speaking out when the government does something wrong, like violating our fundamental rights and freedoms—regardless of what political party is in power.

"This Is The Plan", Ben Wikler Book Tour
Ben will be in Eau Claire as part of his book tour. CLICK HERE to reserve a free ticket.
Ben Wikler writes: “As I wrote in the op-ed, ‘A Three-Step Plan to Undo Trump’s Assault on Democracy,’ there are things every one of us can do, right now, to ensure democracy’s survival—and even flourishing—in our country.’ I’m hoping that the book and the tour can galvanize more people to do more of those things.
If you feel the same way, please read and share the op-ed, pre-order the book, and then RSVP for a ticket to a book tour event near you. And I’d be grateful if you could spread the word—to your group chats, social media platforms, fellow organizing group or union members, and other networks.”
