Rally Against SB54
to
Grace Episcopal Church 116 W. Washington Ave., Madison, Wisconsin 53703
MOSES, WISDOM and the ACLU event to raise awareness of planned new prison project, meet 9 am, 3/13, Grace Episcopal Church.
press release: During a time when many states are reforming their broken criminal justice systems and closing down unneeded or unsafe prisons, the Wisconsin legislature seems intent on locking up more Wisconsinites. We do not need to borrow $350 million to recklessly spend money to build a brand-new prison. On March 13, there will be a statewide effort to protest and bring attention to SB 54. This irresponsible and unjust legislation will have devastating effects on our communities and utilize scarce resources that should be spent on treatment and diversions programs, mental health services, and providing parole to those who are eligible.
MOSES, WISDOM and the ACLU are doing an ALL CALL to everyone who is opposed and offended by the reckless spending this legislation proposes. The bill will be acted upon in the final session of the Senate. Please stand up and make your voice heard. Itinerary for the day: a training, speaking with Senators, and showing up in droves to speak out!!!
