North Shore Indivisible is committed to taking ACTION to bring about the change we want to see.
What follows is a list of ACTIONS individuals can take to engage in the political process.
If you completed an action, post something in the comments. What did the staffer say when you called? Did you get a person, voicemail? Did you receive any response? Share your experience.
Want to learn how to make a truth sandwich or just need some extra incentive to spread the truth? Then join us each Friday at 11am where we will share ideas, create and post truth sandwiches and work together on Letters to the Editor. Let’s have fun while saving democracy!

Last night, Ben Wikler, Chair of the Wisconsin Democratic Party, went on The Rachel Maddow Show to talk about what’s at stake as primary elections begin in sections of Wisconsin. You can watch a quick clip and support the WisDems ahead of Tuesday’s elections. Wisconsin is ground zero in the GOP effort to pass restrictive anti-voter legislation pursuant to Trump’s Big Lie and steal the 2024 Elections. Republicans know Wisconsin – as it so often is – will be a nail-biter this year, and they will do everything they can to undermine future elections if they win in November.
To stop a Republican takeover in 2024 and fight for the future of American democracy, we need to organize for these local races now.
Election conspiracists who believe Trump’s Big Lie are on the ballot in Wisconsin, but so are staunch defenders of American democracy. In a state like ours, where elections break by single percentage points, we can make a difference right now by investing in local races in the spring, and making sure we have strong advocates for our democracy in office.

On Friday, January 28th, representatives of the Milwaukee County League of Women Voters and Supermarket Legends met with Assistant Superintendent Anthony Dodd, Sr., and Captain Brandon Hutchins at the Milwaukee County House of Correction (HOC) in Franklin to discuss the logistics of beginning a voter registration program there. The League and Legends brought flyers for distribution and copies of posters, which can be printed at the HOC and displayed prior to registration events.
The HOC is working to prevent Covid, requiring everyone to wear a mask and installing a special air-filtration system in the building. It has a 94% vaccination rate and currently only one case of Covid. Assisting jail residents to register to vote at the Milwaukee County House of Correction should be low risk for volunteers. The plan is for both organizations to recruit volunteers, who will first fill out a form for a background check and then participate in a one-hour volunteer training at the HOC. Registration events will include voter education and take place at least two times per month.
We need many volunteers for this major initiative to insure its success. Please contact Terri Lowder at tlowder996@gmail.com if you would like to participate. You will find this a very rewarding experience. Assistant Superintendent Dodd feels that if the jail residents are registered to vote, it helps with their rehabilitation to return to the community as fully engaged citizens.
We will be staffing our Voter Assistance Hotline to prepare for the April 5th election, and we need your help! Join our updated hotline training here — the training is offered twice, and you only need to attend one.
The Voter Assistance Hotline (608-336-3232) aims to make sure the voting process is as smooth as possible and reduce barriers to access by providing accurate and helpful answers to voters’ questions. The hotline is staffed for every election with volunteers and staff who are thoroughly trained on Wisconsin election law.
Please note: if you have completed prior hotline trainings with WisDems, welcome back! You DO need to attend the training again in order to work on the April 5th election, as some things have changed. https://www.mobilize.us/dpw/event/437001/
