Motherhood for Good Encourages Communities to Engage in a Weekend of Action Ahead of Critical Wisconsin Supreme Court Election on April 4

MILWAUKEE, WI - Award-winning actress Julia Louis-Dreyfus has lent her voice to Motherhood for Good, a local grassroots organization focused on the intersection of parenting and politics. The actress and Motherhood for Good are working together to #CommitToFlip the Wisconsin Supreme Court. With Justice Patience Roggensack retiring, the 7-member Supreme Court could flip to majority Democrat with the election of Janet Protaseiwicz.

“This election is critical for Wisconsin,” said Julia Louis-Dreyfus. “Whoever wins this election will serve a ten-year term on the Wisconsin State Supreme Court, and will have an opportunity to impact important issues that affect everyone, such as women’s rights, access to abortion, voting rights, and even election maps. I hope that everyone joins Motherhood for Good’s Weekend of Action to get the word out about this race and elect Judge Janet.”

Wisconsin residents and friends are encouraged to participate in Motherhood for Good’s “Weekend of Action” on Saturday, April 1 and Sunday, April 2. The Weekend of Action is dedicated to spreading the word about the upcoming Wisconsin Supreme Court election, and the importance of electing Janet Protasiewicz. Anyone can participate in-person or virtually, with canvassing happening across Milwaukee, Madison and Green Bay.

More information about canvassing can be found at the #CommitToFlip landing page: https://www.motherhoodforgood.com/commit-to-flip. Those participating virtually are encouraged to post about the election online, using graphics available for free on the Motherhood for Good Instagram account, @MotherhoodforGood.

“There are so many ways of getting involved during our Weekend of Action,” said Kate Duffy, founder and Executive Director of Motherhood for Good. “The outcome of this race will determine our future as a state for the next ten years, and possibly beyond. It’s critical that we do everything we can to elect Judge Janet and ensure that Wisconsin remains a state committed to democracy, fairness, and equal rights for everyone.”

Motherhood for Good aims to break down policy concepts and political jargon in a more approachable and accessible way. The organization has resources for getting involved on their website at: https://www.motherhoodforgood.com/commit-to-flip. Participants can also join the conversation online by using the hashtag #CommitToFlip and tagging Motherhood for Good on Instagram and Facebook.
