Issue
Do we build more prisons and/or send people to out-of-state institutions at a high cost to taxpayers, or do we institute reform?
State Rep. Evan Goyke, District 18, Milwaukee, will make the case for criminal justice reform. This can be done in a smart way that will benefit our corrections system, save tax-payer dollars, reduce crime and increase public safety.
Presentation & Panel Discussion on:
Invest in Neighborhoods
Prevent Homelessness
Pay for Crime Reduction Without Raising Taxes
Reduce Prison Admissions
Increase Prison Releases
Increase Success on Supervision
WE ARE CALLED TO ACTION TO INCREASE EQUALITY AND FAIRNESS WITHIN OUR COMMUNITY!

Families with children having emotional or cognitive disabilities who need advocacy in school, and people who have been formerly incarcerated, or families with loved ones who are incarcerated should attend this meeting. Your feedback is important!
The purpose of this event is show how a Wisconsin future that benefits all Wisconsinites requires criminal justice reform in our state. The event will cover critical issues like:
Barriers to employment following incarceration
The Wisconsin epidemic of crimeless revocation – the process by which thousands of Wisconsin residents are sent to prison each year despite not having committed a crime
There will also be an informative panel discussion featuring individuals directly impacted by the criminal justice system and people working for change on both sides of the political aisle.

We are pleased to share this request from David Liners, executive director of WISDOM, on behalf of parole-eligible people in our state prisons.
Governor Evers has been in office for more than three months. In that time, he has done a lot. But, he has NOT yet appointed a new Chair for the Parole Commission. And he has NOT yet named members of the Pardon Board. Loved ones and family members of the 3,000 parole-eligible people in our prisons have been patient. But, as their loved ones have waited far too long to be released, so we also have waited far too long for the Governor to keep the campaign promises he made about these important parts of his job.
