The day after the August 11 primary, people in nine Wisconsin cities took to the streets with one message: We Can’t Afford MAGA Extremism. From La Crosse to Eau Claire, Milwaukee to Green Bay, communities stood together to declare that the general election fight starts now.

CVI organized the Eau Claire rally at 4 PM and the La Crosse rally at 10 AM, bringing healthcare signs, the ambulance, and the energy that has made our group a model for other chapters across the state.

The timing was deliberate: the day after the primary, stepping straight into the general election with clear eyes and a clear goal. Winning in November is the work now, and it starts with showing up together.
