Following the record-breaking Black, Brown and Youth voter turnout in the Georgia Runoff election, state legislatures across America have released an offensive onslaught of undemocratic legislation designed to specifically suppress the vote of communities of color and youth voters. There are many bills before the Wisconsin State Legislature today that will further erode voting rights for Wisconsinites, and disproportionately disenfranchise Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC), LGBTQIA individuals, low-income families, and those who are homeless.
Event partners include NAACP Dane County Branch 36AB, Nehemiah Center for Urban Leadership Development, LWV of Dane County, Voter ID Coalition, Indivisible Madison, Urban League of Greater Madison.
