Drive to Decarcerate Wisconsin

press release: Do you care about people in WI Prisons & wonder if Governor Evers does too? Are you tired of WI Governor Tony Evers ignoring our incarcerated citizens as the COVID 19 infection rates in our Wisconsin prisons soar?

Then join WISDOM/EXPO and our statewide affiliates as we "Drive to Decarcerate WI". Governor Evers had a unique opportunity to take unprecedented steps to get Wisconsin's overcrowded prison population numbers down to save lives & stop the spread of COVID 19 in our prisons. This is authority the governor is granted by our state constitution & cannot be litigated or undermined by the state Legislature. Governor Evers has refused to exercise any of the power he has to make our prisons safer during this pandemic by releasing some, making social distancing possible for others.

Thursday, June 18, 2020, we will arrive together from all over the state at the State Capitol in Madison at noon & from there, go to the governor's mansion.
