Madison, Wisconsin, April 4 – 350 Wisconsin Action is pleased that Wisconsinites made their voices heard and voted to elect Climate Champion Judge Janet Protasiewicz to the Wisconsin Supreme Court.

Going forward, the grassroots climate justice organization looks forward to keeping climate and justice as active parts of the political conversation through the 2024 elections.
John Greenler, Executive Director of 350 Wisconsin Action, says, “It is no secret that Wisconsin’s 2023 Supreme Court election was going to be vastly important to upholding democracy, not just in Wisconsin, but on a national level. Judge Protasiewicz had made her commitment to justice evident and the people of Wisconsin recognized that. We thank each voter in Wisconsin for taking the time to make their voices heard.”

We look forward to sustaining this momentum for justice into the 2024 election cycle, and we remain committed to seeing climate champions elected at every level of government.”
