There aren’t any. The picture is blank. That’s the joke.
With Republicans in the state Senate and Assembly set to terminate Gov. Tony Evers’ COVID-19 public health emergency and Wisconsin’s mask mandate sometime today (read about that HERE and HERE), here are the 59 (!) groups that have publicly registered their opposition to such a move. (A few come complete with comments.)
(Again, in case you missed it: There are no groups that have registered their support for ending Wisconsin’s mask mandate. That’s why the picture is blank. That’s the joke. The following is a list of groups that oppose ending Wisconsin’s mask mandate.)
