It was an honor to tag along with a @blocbyblocmke ambassador this week on the North Side of Milwaukee, listening to people share their ideas about how their community can thrive.
@blocbyblocMKE Tasha Prescott knocked on doors, asked questions, and took notes. People opened up. My job in the silent canvass: listen. I learned a lot—much more than I would've if I'd been talking. BLOC's silent canvass is a brilliant innovation.
@blocbyblocMKE If you don't know about @blocbyblocMKE, take a second to catch up. This extraordinary New Yorker profile is a very good place to start: newyorker.com/news/news-desk…
@blocbyblocMKE You can see BLOC in action firsthand in this video about a visit to their HQ by @AFSCME president Lee Saunders. If you're feeling grim about the state of the world—and who isn't?—try spending a very inspiring five minutes watching it:
@blocbyblocMKE @AFSCME The Democratic Party of Wisconsin will be working proudly with BLOC and other great organizations to fight for school funding for Milwaukee in the @VoteYesforMPS referendum campaign. Schools are on the ballot this April 7. Milwaukeeans: vote yes!
