We are excited for Madison Action Day 2023 on April 27! We will gather at the Wisconsin Masonic Center, 301 Wisconsin Ave, Madison at 9:00 am and then make our way together to the Wisconsin State Capitol Building. Event in Madison ends at 3.Two buses have been reserved to take us to Madison--3 locations and departure times to be announced.
A time to share state budget priorities. Madison Action Day is especially important this year since each of the Joint Finance Committee Budget Hearings are located much further from most of population centers---April 5, Waukesha, April 11, Eau Claire, April 12 Wisconsin Dells, and April 26, Minocqua. Madison Action Day gives us an opportunity to share our budget priorities. We will be making recommendations regarding more funding for TAD, Driver's Licenses for Immigrants, funding for lead abatement and expanding Badger Care. That is the focus of the visits. The morning Plenary includes speakers to renew our energy and focus. We also will hear about costly reconciliation, radical inclusion, Living for the Seventh Generation, and Brothertown.
Please register by April 6 so we can begin to organize our visits to legislators. A booklet outlining our budget priorities will be provided to each participant prior to Madison Action Day to help with preparations for our visits. Each legislator will also receive a copy of the booklet. At each district visit, we need a facilitator and someone to speak for each budget priority. You can volunteer to speak or come along to show support for these recommendations.
