Birds on a Wire Takes Flight!
We fly as one!
We are a group of progressive volunteers from southwest Milwaukee County who take action on the things we care about!
Meeting every week, BOW plans events, organizes rapid responses when needed, makes phone calls, educates themselves and others on issues, interviews candidates, hosts a weekly protest on the corner of 76th and Layton in Greenfield on Saturday mornings and remembers to have fun.
LuAnn Bird founded Birds on a Wire in early 2025 to build a community of like minded people who share the same values, care about democracy, and need a place to do something about the issues they are passionate about!
She ran for the State Assembly in 2022 and 2024, losing by very small margins each time. Her goal was not just to win elections, she wanted to change the broken political system.
In 1990 her husband was paralyzed. Since then she has been a tireless advocate for the rights of people with disabilities and many other issues that affect those who do not have a voice! Using the political power she built as a candidate, she is organizing her friends and supporters for an even bigger purpose - stopping this authoritarian regime!
Her endless energy, compassion for those who do not have a voice, ability to bring people together and her contagious optimism make her the perfect person to pull people together to collectively find a way through!
“After my husband was paralyzed 35 years ago, I learned we had rights under the Americans with Disabilities Act and I worked tirelessly to make things accessible.
Now many of our civil rights are under attack and I will not sit back. We have the constitution on our side! By joining Birds on a Wire, you can take action with us! #democracyisworthsaving #wehavethepower
