The April 5th elections will have a profound impact on the future of our state, county and city — and they’re less than 5 weeks away!
Grassroots Tosa has endorsed the best candidates in those races (see below), but to get the word out, we need your help. We know that every election cycle brings tons of email like this one to your inbox, but we’re the only organization giving voice to progressives right here in Wauwatosa.

Your donation of $25 or more could help us place an ad in Wauwatosa NOW in support of these candidates before the April 5th election. How big an ad — or even whether we can buy ad space at all — depends on you.
But however much you can give, know that it will support Grassroots Tosa’s work of giving voice to progressives like you, not only on election day, but throughout the year.
Please give generously.
