Wisconsin Day of Empathy
press release: Meet us at the Capitol in Madison! Dream.Org is partnering with The Wisconsin Black Legislative Caucus, FREE, and EXPO for Day of Empathy in Wisconsin!!! The day will start with two panels of legislators, and justice-impacted people discussing expungement and The Dignity Act (Rights for Incarcerated Women and Girls). We will then have a training on legislative, lunch and then speaking with legislators on expungement and the Dignity Act!
Day of Empathy is the nation’s largest day of action for criminal justice reform, & this wouldn’t be possible without everyone’s collective effort in fighting for what’s right. It brings together people from all walks of life who have been negatively impacted by America’s criminal justice system – from survivors of violent crime to those who are currently incarcerated individuals to the loved ones on the outside who advocate for their freedom and systemic reforms, from children of incarcerated parents to people on mass supervision to all community members impacted by crime, public safety issues, and violence.
