Rural & Small Town Organizing

Published: April 27, 2018, 4:14 a.m.

b'We welcome Citizen Action North central WI organizer Joel Lewis to discuss a new multi-year rural organizing project we launched this week with our national network, People\\u2019s Action, in 10 states targeting 72 counties. The project aims to counter Trump\\u2019s fraudulent right-wing populism with a progressive populist movement built from the bottom up in rural and small towns. We also review Walker\\u2019s DNR rubber stamping both the diversion of Lake Michigan water for Foxconn and their approval to become a major smog producer in southeastern Wisconsin. We close the show talking about the millions being spent by a few wealthy conservatives to defeat Sen. Tammy Baldwin, including running racist ads.'
