BREAKING: Susan Crawford Holds Event Tonight with Weather Underground-Tied Group that Boasts “17 Genders”
The extremist Citizen Action of Wisconsin is welcoming the “Hirs,” “Ters,” and “Xyrs” to a Q&A with Wisconsin Supreme Court candidate Crawford despite Crawford’s claims of “impartiality” on the bench.
Why is Susan Crawford, the liberal candidate in Wisconsin’s Supreme Court race on April 1, attending a virtual event tonight with a far-left group pushing transgender ideology with ties to violent 1960s communists?
Crawford’s campaign site claims she will be a “fair and impartial” judge “who will reject efforts to politicize the constitution” of Wisconsin. Yet in January she was caught attending a fundraiser with state Democratic chair Ben Wikler described as a “chance to put two more House seats in play for 2026.”
Now she’s joining a “statewide Q&A” with Citizen Action of Wisconsin, a radical group that endorsed Crawford to defend “Abortion rights, fair maps, union rights, and corporate accountability.”
In its invitation to the Crawford event, the group notes, “Citizen Action has endorsed Judge Susan Crawford for state Supreme Court on April 1st and we want you to get to know her.”
“Join us virtually the evening [of] Thursday, February 13th from 6-7:30pm to get to know Judge Crawford, the values that she holds, and her vision for a more fair Wisconsin!” the group says on its sign-up page, where attendees have the option to choose from 17 sets of pronouns or “any/all pronouns,” including “Fae/Faer/Faers,” “Ve/Ver/Vers,” and “He/She/They.”
If none of those pronouns are inclusive enough, attendees may specify “Name Only.”
Ties to the Weather Underground & Revolutionary Communists
Citizen Action of Wisconsin is a successor to the now-defunct Citizen Action, a far-left group that closed in 1997 after engaging in a money-laundering scandal to reelect Teamsters president Ron Carey. Richard Trumka, then-AFL-CIO’s second-in-command, allegedly shuffled $150,000 in union funds to the group, which kicked back $100,000 to help Carey’s reelection.
Crawford has been endorsed by a host of related unions, including the Wisconsin AFL-CIO, American Federation of Teachers, and the state chapter of the National Education Association.
Citizen Action’s founder, Heather Booth, forged her political identity among radical left-wing student activists of the 1960s. Her husband Paul Booth was a founder and the national secretary of the communist Students for a Democratic Society (SDS), which spawned the domestic terror organization Weather Underground.
In 1969, Booth authored the pamphlet Socialism and the Coming Decade, which urged socialists to move from confrontation to infiltration to transform society in their image.
In a 1972 manifesto, she described capitalism as an “institutionalized form of oppression” and endorsed a society in which those perceived as the “ruling class” would have their property confiscated.
In the 1980s, Booth put her advice into action and became involved in Democratic Party politics, helping to elect leftist Democrat Harold Washington as mayor of Chicago.
After Citizen Action shut down, Booth founded USAction as its successor. USAction managed a 22-state network of leftist groups, including Citizen Action of Wisconsin, which carries on the original name.
During the Barack Obama administration, USAction launched a campaign to kick moderate and centrist Democrats out of the party.
In 2016, USAction sponsored a platform in line with the policies of presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT).
Citizen Action of Wisconsin’s former director, Linda Honold, also directed Wisconsin Voices, a subsidiary of the State Voices get-out-the-vote network for Democrats. State Voices rivaled Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN) in the latter’s final days. ACORN closed in 2010 after it lost its federal funding amid accusations of voter fraud and its employees’ condoning illegal activity. State Voices then absorbed many of its donors and carried on the same leftist crusade as ACORN.
Part of a Pattern?
Restoration News has reported how Crawford’s soft-on-crime policies freed convicted repeat child molesters after four years—allowing one of them to move across the street from an elementary school.
She also and gave similar light sentences to convicted murderers and a bomb-maker whom authorities credibly believed planned to carry out a domestic terror attack on the University of Wisconsin Madison, where Crawford’s own husband works.
Crawford’s record also gives no indication she believes a judge’s rule is limited to interpreting the law in an apolitical manner. Her website touts her defense of Planned Parenthood, which she represented in defense of abortion—a clearly political issue—and she previously criticized judges from shying away from politicizing their offices. A case involving Planned Parenthood is due to come before the high court later this year, though Crawford has indicated she will not recuse herself from it if she wins election on April 1.
Crawford faces Republican former Attorney General Brad Schimel, who’s been endorsed by leading public safety advocates including the Waukesha County Police Chiefs Association, Milwaukee Professional Firefighters Association, and Milwaukee Police Association, as well as sheriffs for Dodge and Barron Counties.
If Crawford is elected, Wisconsin residents can expect her to bring the politics and gender ideology of her radical friends to the state Supreme Court.
