From our state party Chair, Ben Wikler:
Dear fellow Wisconsin Democrats,
Thanksgiving is here. Even though staying safe amidst this pandemic means we can't celebrate in the usual way, we have much to be thankful for.
We can be thankful that our democracy, though profoundly imperfect, is still standing in the face of constant attack.
We can be thankful that our democracy will survive this election, and put new leaders in office—thanks to the labor of and belief of so many millions. We can be thankful for the poll workers and municipal clerks and volunteers who administered the election and even now are processing the recounts in Milwaukee and Dane counties; the millions who held the faith that voters would determine the outcome of this election, and ensured that the votes would be there for a presidential ticket that believed in democracy itself; for the volunteers who worked for hours and days and months and years to make this moment possible.
We can be thankful that a president and vice president will soon be sworn in, with Wisconsin's ten electoral college votes and 296 others, who believe in science, believe in decency, and believe in America.
We can be thankful to each other.
We can be thankful for all the communities that make up our state.
We can be thankful for the sovereign tribal nations here in Wisconsin: the Bad River Band of the Lake Superior Tribe of Chippewa Indians, the Forest County Potawatomi Community, the Ho-Chunk Nation, the Lac Courte Oreilles Band of Lake Superior Chippewa Indians of Wisconsin, the Lac du Flambeau Band of Lake Superior Chippewa Indians, the Lac Vieux Desert Band of Lake Superior Chippewa Indians, the Menominee Indian Tribe of Wisconsin, the Oneida Nation, the Red Cliff Band of Lake Superior Chippewa Indians, the Sokaogon Chippewa Community, the Saint Croix Chippewa Indians of Wisconsin, and the Stockbridge-Munsee Community.
And we can be thankful that, in a year of heartbreak and tragedy and trauma and loss, we still have the capacity for hope, for change, and for gratitude.
Stay safe. And Happy Thanksgiving.
Ben ...
