WF Civic Break… Project 2025

WF Civic Break offers short, accessible briefings that cut through the noise on timely civic and policy issues. Designed to fit into a busy day, each session provides clear context and key takeaways for anyone who wants to stay informed and engaged in what’s shaping our community.

This Civic Break focuses on Project 2025 and related policy developments. Join us to learn what’s happening… why it matters… and what’s next.

Amanda Merkwae, advocacy director at the ACLU of Wisconsin, will break down what has already been accomplished, why it matters, especially for women in Wisconsin, and what may be coming next.

You will also be introduced to a new monitoring tool designed to track and summarize Project 2025–related developments in real time.

Registration required. No fee. A Zoom link will be sent shortly before the session.

WF Civic Breaks offer the briefing; WF Laundry Nights offer the space to talk it through together. View our full event calendar for details of our next Laundry Night.
