Join us to meet Green Bay elected officials, learn about WISDOM’s End the Lockdowns Campaign and provide input on transformational justice priorities in Wisconsin. This event follows successful events in Milwaukee and Madison with elected officials.
WISDOM’s End the Lockdowns Campaign seeks to:
- Raise awareness on the detrimental effects of lockdowns to people who are incarcerated in Wisconsin’s prisons and their loved ones.
- Build build grassroots support urging Governor Tony Evers to use his authority to take action.
- Close prisons, reduce the prison population, and reinvest spending into community resources that decrease crime and strengthen communities.

We are also awaiting confirmation from other invited state representatives.
