People’s Action celebrates the elections of Judge Janet Protasiewicz to the Wisconsin Supreme Court and Brandon Johnson as mayor of Chicago. People’s Action members and our affiliates, Citizen Action of Wisconsin, The People’s Lobby and One People’s Campaign, made tens of thousands of phone calls and knocked on doors to support their campaigns and held in-depth conversations about the importance of voting to defend democracy and fundamental rights, with a new vision for public safety rooted in communities with good jobs, a sustainable economy, and a government that works for all of us. Grassroots organizing powered these victories. Congratulations!

“When voters and candidates take organizing seriously, we win. And when we put forward a hopeful, bold vision, we can defend our freedoms. People are ready: The time is ripe to organize.”
People’s Action congratulates the newly elected local, county, state and federal #PplsSlate officials who won public office in the 2022 election.
People’s Action and our member groups knocked on 1 million doors and made 2 million calls to voters in this election cycle.
The People’s Slate is part of a People’s Action strategy to build people power and elect movement champions who will cogovern with our working-class members.
These newly elected officials join the hundreds of People’s Action-endorsed candidates who are already serving in office at every level of government.
