DEMS: If we want to win, we’ve got to show up. So today I’m asking you to join me in supporting the Brown County Democratic Party, which is doing amazing things in Wisconsin’s biggest swing county. Support @BrownWIDems here & read on: secure.actblue.com/donate/wisdems…
Brown County is Wisconsin’s fourth biggest county (after Milwaukee, Dane, and Waukesha), and Green Bay is Wisconsin’s third largest city. In 2020, Brown County turned out 12,129 more Dem votes than in 2016—which is more than half of Biden’s statewide margin of victory.
How did Brown County Dems jump their turnout by 23%(!) in 2020? Organizing. Communicating with voters. A massive team effort. Which is what you’d imagine from the home of the Green Bay Packers.
The Brown County Dems proudly own their own downtown headquarters—and they’re on a fundraising drive to upgrade it. What they’ve already done to make it a welcoming space is spectacular. Check out this beautiful mural commissioned from a local artist: 
The building has signs that say “Democracy is more than just voting. Get involved and join the fight!” That’s exactly what the Brown County Democrats are doing, and they’re empowering their neighbors to do the same. The building serves as a physical hub.
Inside, there’s a gallery wall of Democrats & activists we look up to, and of our values that serve as our North Star. When the pandemic hit, counties quickly adapted to organizing in the virtual space. @BrownWIDems have an amazing Zoom room—with wallpaper made of campaign signs!
What does all this translate into? A home base for progressive organizing and community-building. Sometimes that’s massive waves of door-knocking. Sometimes it’s a Packers watch party in the parking lot. (Pumpkin and I joined Chair Renee Gasch there recently!)
Brown County will be a critical area in 2022 just as surely as it was in 2020, 2018, and 2016. To reelect Governor Evers and defeat Rebecca Kleefisch, to defeat Ron Johnson and send a Democrat to the Senate—we’ll be counting on a powerhouse local operation there.
By supporting the Brown County Dems in revitalizing this space, we have the opportunity to make a physical impact on their year-round work to grow the party. They’re building the bench. Let’s join them.
Show up, and stay. Chip in here to help @BrownWIDems invest taking things to the next level: secure.actblue.com/donate/wisdems…
