WHY: A statement says: "Wisconsin’s marginalized and progressive communities have been attacked by voter suppression efforts—the same voter suppression that impacted the 2016 election results. There’s too much at stake in this primary to sit on the sidelines. We have a real chance to build a progressive majority that will fight for the people. This year, we won special elections in Wisconsin Senate Districts 1 and 10, and we elected Rebecca Dallet to the Wisconsin Supreme Court. Voters are saying NO to the racist, sexist, xenophobic, ableist, and transphobic policies of the Trump administration and majority in Congress."
