MADISON, Wis. — On Friday, November 3, the Democratic Party of Wisconsin will kick off its One Year To Win statewide organizing push with Justice Defended Live, a special live fundraising event hosted by Brian Tyler Cohen and Leigh McGowan, together with WisDems Chair Ben Wikler and special guests.

This podcast-style live event will be hosted in Madison before a live audience and streamed to supporters across the country, and will feature interviews, games, and lively discussion of the road ahead to 2024.

“Having these two master communicators together in Wisconsin will make for an energy-jammed and hilarious live event,” said Democratic Party of Wisconsin Chair Ben Wikler. “Brian Tyler Cohen has been a friend of WisDems for years—hosting Cheddar Storms, getting the word out on his podcast and show. Leigh McGowan—better known as Politics Girl—produces extraordinary videos breaking down crucial topics, like our critical Supreme Court race and, more recently, the lawless Republican impeachment fight. Time and again, Brian and Leigh have played a critical role in defending justice in Wisconsin. Be sure to mark your calendars for November 3, as we kick off our One Year To Win organizing push with Justice Defended Live!”

“Anyone who’s been following what’s been happening in Wisconsin knows that extremist Republicans seem willing to do anything to hold onto their gerrymandered power,” said Leigh McGowan. “That’s why I’m pleased to be joining the Democratic Party of Wisconsin—who’s been so hard at work organizing and fighting back—for this very special event. Wisconsin is key to saving American democracy and Justice Defended Live will give us a real opportunity to mobilize supporters as we kick off One Year To Win.”

“I’m thrilled to be in Wisconsin and support the Democratic Party of Wisconsin in their fight to keep the state blue and hold the White House and the U.S. Senate,” said Brian Tyler Cohen. “Recently, they were able to stop the radical Republicans from unconstitutionally impeaching Justice Janet Protasiewicz, who won her state Supreme Court seat by a staggering 11 points. But the fight continues. Anyone who joins us at Justice Defended Live will be supporting the WisDems’ spectacular year-round organizing programs, leading into a critical fight for 2024.”
