From Election Day to Madison Action Day

WISDOM's Madison Action Day has been announced:
TUESDAY, MARCH 26, 2019
We will gather from around the state in our Capitol Building in Madison.

No matter who wins the coming elections, it is important for our legislators in Madison to understand that we want ACTION!  We need every legislator to understand that we, the people of Wisconsin, will not stand for building new prisons.  We need to re-invest the money being wasted on needless incarceration back into the community-based solutions that can heal our people, our families and our communities.  We need to remind our elected representatives that we are a state that believes in compassion and opportunity for every person, regardless of their zip code or their nation of origin.

March 26 will be the highlight of a season of action, to call for a just state budget.  We will be attending Joint Finance Committee hearings about the budget, and we will be involved in many other actions to be sure that OUR priorities, not just those of the lobbyists, are being heard.

First, on November 6, we need to vote.  And, we need to do better than that:  we need to remind our friends and neighbors to vote! 
Then, we need to come together to demand that our Governor and Legislature take real, bold action on behalf of everyone in our state.
