MILWAUKEE – The ΊμΠΣΚΣΖ΅ of Wisconsin and ΊμΠΣΚΣΖ΅ announced the launch of a joint campaign to engage Wisconsin voters ahead of the state supreme court general election on April 1.

The ΊμΠΣΚΣΖ΅ Voter Education Fund is running a series of radio and digital video advertisements on stations across the state, with a focus on the candidates’ record on abortion rights. The ΊμΠΣΚΣΖ΅ and ΊμΠΣΚΣΖ΅ of Wisconsin also plan to reach approximately 600,000 voters through direct mail, door-to-door canvassing, texting, and phone banking.

β€œThe Wisconsin Supreme Court serves as the last line of defense for our rights,” said Dr. Melinda Brennan, Executive Director of the ΊμΠΣΚΣΖ΅ of Wisconsin. β€œRegardless of how you feel about what’s happening in Washington right now, voters will have a profound impact on the future of Wisconsin by going to the polls and voting their values this April. We’ll be working day in and day out to educate voters and give Wisconsinites all the tools they need to cast an informed ballot.”

β€œNow is not the time to retreat,” Brennan added. β€œWe need to show up for our communities and fight for the issues we care about – and one way we can do that is by voting for our next state Supreme Court Justice.”

Wisconsin Supreme Court justices are responsible for interpreting the state constitution and applying state laws. Because so many decisions depend on this interpretation, the Court has the power to make final rulings that impact our civil liberties and often recognize broader protections than those provided by the U.S. Constitution, serving as a crucial defense against attacks on our fundamental rights.

Now that the U.S. Supreme Court has overturned Roe v. Wade, state courts have become the ultimate decision-makers on whether reproductive freedoms are safeguarded. With ongoing legal battles over Wisconsin’s abortion ban, the state supreme court could determine the future of abortion access for millions.

The ΊμΠΣΚΣΖ΅ Voter Education Fund is a new federal political action committee (PAC) dedicated to educating and mobilizing voters on these important issues. The ΊμΠΣΚΣΖ΅, ΊμΠΣΚΣΖ΅ of Wisconsin, and ΊμΠΣΚΣΖ΅ Voter Education Fund are nonpartisan and do not support or oppose candidates for office nor contribute to their campaigns.
