Is it rabbit season? No, it’s recall season!

As the debt ceiling agreement is finalized, we now have an opportunity to focus our attention on other important issues. For many of us New Yorkers, the summer means rooftop barbecues, trips to the beach and the occasional road trip.  In Wisconsin, this summer has come to mean the season of recall elections and politicians are feeling the heat.

On August 9th, a general election will be held to recall 6 Wisconsin Republicans who voted in favor of Governor Scott Walker’s harmful policies. A successful election will send a much needed message across the country that grassroots progressives have not forgotten their core values and will continue to fight for policies preserving our country’s social safety net.

So, if you are ready for a little shellacking, here’s what you can do.

Call Out the Vote

Join Democracy for America and Progressive Change Campaign Committee to phone bank from home. Like Team EMILY they are encouraging voters to get out there and make their voices heard. Sign up for volunteer shifts starting Saturday, August 6th and running until Tuesday, August 9th.
