MADISON, Wis.— Today, Opportunity Wisconsin announced three new stops on the “Summer Is On, No Thanks To Ron” statewide RV tour.
The new Opportunity Wisconsin tour stops include:
August 18: Eau Claire Downtown Farmers Market
August 19: BlueOx Music Festival, Eau Claire
August 26: Appleton Downtown Heid Music Summer Concerts
“Whether it’s shots in arms, money in pockets, or relief for small businesses, thanks to the American Rescue Plan the Badger State started to return to ‘normal’ this summer. However, not only did Senator Ron Johnson fight tooth-and-nail against this relief, but he continues to spread dangerous misinformation about Covid-19 and vaccines that is prolonging the pandemic and threatening the progress we’ve made,” said Meghan Roh, Opportunity Wisconsin program director. “We’re grateful to elected leaders like Senator Tammy Baldwin who supported the critical relief of the American Rescue Plan that will allow Wisconsin to weather the storm. And while summer may not be as ‘on’ as we had hoped, from Beloit to Bayfield—we all must continue to hold Senator Johnson accountable for standing in the way of Wisconsin’s recovery.”
Since the tour launch on June 23, Opportunity Wisconsin has been traveling the state in an RV wrapped with a photo of Senator Ron Johnson, urging Wisconsinites to call his office and tell him to stop blocking our recovery.
The statewide RV tour will run through September with upcoming stops including: Ashley for the Arts, Summerfest, and the Taste of Madison. Event attendees have the opportunity to sign the giant “No Thanks To You” card, register to win a pair of tickets to see the Green Bay Packers play the Detroit Lions on Monday, September 20 at Lambeau Field, take photos at the selfie station, snag some free Opportunity Wisconsin merch, and play some classic summer games.
