MONDAY, APRIL 15 - THE CAR CARAVAN WILL LEAVE AT 8AM FROM THE EC DEM OFFICE ON MONDAY.

• JFC Public Hearing on Budget -- River Falls
  
  JOIN THE CARAVAN! Locally, the Eau Claire Dems are planning to have a carpool caravan head to River Falls to voice support for the UWEC Science Building project that was not supported by Republicans on the Budget committee.

• This project is important as a economic development tool, for investment in western WI as well as the state, in addition to demonstrating a public-private partnership to enhance research in this state.

• Other topics to address:  Expanding Badger Care, rural broadband internet, water quality and water safety, transportation.

• Consider attending to support and if willing, write and read a two minute statement.  It helps to have copies of your statement to share with the committee members. 

• JFC Member Webpage:  https://docs.legis.wisconsin.gov/2019/committees/joint/1968

• Call the office or email: ecdems@eauclairedemocrats.com if you’d like to join the caravan!

     1. Please copy and paste this link  www.Citizenactionwi.org/2019budget, anywhere you can as people can pledge via that link to attend any of those hearings, sign up for a t-shirt, send a letter to their state legislator and/or help sign up to be part of a phone tree getting the word out. Do they need a ride? Want talking points? Meet up with other supporters? They can let us know via that link!
     2. THEN! After you sign it, or anyone else does, they will be forwarded to this link:

Every little bit of support matters, and everyone can become a temporary organizer in 10-15 minutes for this effort!
