Re: Want to help the people of Kenosha, WI? Here's one thing you can do:

Friend, earlier this week, Trump, against the requests of local and state officials, visited Kenosha, WI; the latest city to be rocked by civil unrest in the aftermath of a police shooting. Trump never once said the name of Jacob Blake, the unarmed black man shot seven times in the back by police officers. Instead, he dodged questions about systemic racism, blamed the protesters and called them anti-American. This is Trump's America. Today, Joe and Jill Biden visited the same town. They met with Blake's family. They listened and learned from the local community; hoping to unite this fractured city and address the challenges that we, as a country, are facing today. [Ending Trump's presidency starts by organizing voters in communities like Kenosha, and other communities across the state of Wisconsin. That's why we are asking you to support six local and statewide grassroots organizations that are working directly with these frontline communities in Wisconsin to turnout every single vote.]( Keep fighting, Amanda McKay, Daily Kos --------------------------------------------------------------- Friend, tensions and anger are high in Kenosha, Wisconsin, after the police shooting of Jacob Blake and the vigilante murder of two protesters. To make matters worse, Trump has compared the police[shooting of Jacob Blake to a missed golf putt](, and has even [defended the murderer]( of the two protestors. As these events unfolded, Democratic Gov. Tony Evers called for a special session to address police reform within the state. By law, the Republican-led state legislature complied, but then adjourned the session after [30 seconds](. Wisconsin state law doesn't require lawmakers to participate or vote on bills during a special session -- they can simply convene the session and adjourn, which is what they did. Wisconsin state Republicans have been playing power games like this for over a decade. They have shown little regard for democracy, civil rights, working families and now even the lives of the people of Wisconsin. With elections in November, Wisconsin Republicans are hoping to pick up even more seats and secure a supermajority where they can have the power to override the Democratic Governor's vetoes and stop any real progress that could happen. Oh, and did I mention that Wisconsin might be the most important swing state in the entire country? [We can help the people of Kenosha, WI and all Wisconsinites by supporting six local and statewide progressive organizations that are working to register, educate, count, protect, empower, and mobilize voters in frontline communities in one of the most important swing states in the entire country. Help take back Wisconsin--and by extension, help take back all of America--by contributing to each of these organizations today.]( Keep fighting, Amanda McKay, Daily Kos Daily Kos, PO Box 70036, Oakland, CA, 94612.
