Community Listening Session at the Capitol Coming Up on Nov. 12
WISDOM’s Community Listening Session on November 12 will provide a valuable opportunity to discuss our priority issues with a group of legislators, legislative aides, and interested members of the public. The event is scheduled for the North Hearing Room on the second floor of the State Capitol from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. on that Wednesday. Speakers will include representatives from WISDOM’s major campaigns for Immigrant Rights and Environmental Justice/Rights of Nature as well as the Transformational Justice Campaign, which those of us in MOSES usually hear more about.
Please add this important event to your calendars and plan not only to come yourself (registering in advance if possible), but also encourage your legislators to be there. We’re hoping in particular to reach many of the recently elected senators and reps, who may not know much yet about our issues. Also, please publicize this gathering to your congregations and neighbors, and help spread the word to our friends and allies in organizations like Nehemiah, JustDane, the Madison Justice Team, and the League of Women Voters.
If you can come early that day and help to welcome people, distribute materials, take attendance, or whatever, please contact James Morgan or Mark Rice to volunteer.
