Wisconsin Voices Against Reconciliation

media release: Wisconsin citizens will gather for the "Wisconsin Voices Against Reconciliation Bill Rally" on June 24 at noon outside the MLK Entrance of the Wisconsin state Capitol in Madison to raise awareness about concerning provisions in the pending reconciliation bill and urge action from Wisconsin's U.S. senators.

Key Concerns About the Bill:

Rally organizers highlight several areas of concern within the reconciliation bill that could significantly impact Wisconsin residents:

Medicaid Recipients: The proposed changes could reduce access to essential healthcare services for thousands of Wisconsin families who rely on Medicaid coverage, potentially forcing difficult choices between medical care and other basic needs.

SNAP Recipients: Modifications to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program could limit food security for vulnerable Wisconsin households, including working families, seniors, and children who depend on this critical support.

People with Disabilities: The legislation contains provisions that could reduce funding and support services for Wisconsin residents with disabilities, threatening their independence and quality of life.

Rural Communities: The bill's impact on rural Wisconsin could be particularly severe, potentially reducing access to healthcare facilities, limiting economic development opportunities, and weakening the social safety net that many rural families depend on.

The rally organizers are calling on Wisconsin residents to contact their U.S. Senators to voice their opposition:
