Home 9 Org Updates 9 12 Days Left: Why we vote ( Page 9 )

In 12 days, your neighbors and community are counting on you to vote. There is so much at stake in this election. 

Why are we voting on November 5th? 👇🏾

Be prepared to vote.

How will you prepare this week to vote?

  • Mark your calendars and make your plan. The election is on Tuesday, November 5 and polls are open from 7am-8pm. If you are scheduled to work, your employer is required by law to allow you time off to vote on election day. Talk to them this week to confirm and make your plan (or vote early if you can! learn more about early voting here.)
  • Get your photo ID ready.  
  • Have you voted at your current address? If not, you will need to bring proof of residence to your polling location. Some examples include a copy of your current lease, a utility bill, a bank or credit card statement, an intake document from a nursing home or homeless shelter, and many others. See the full list of proof of residence options here.

PS – Let’s triple the vote. You can be a leader in your community. Will you take a few minutes to encourage three friends or family members to be voters?

Explained: End Juvenile Life Without Parole in Wisconsin

Wisconsin relies far too much on incarceration and blames children for system-wide failures. Instead of incarceration, a better investment for Wisconsin’s youth is in basic needs such as health, housing, and employment.  Wisconsin should reimagine a community-based continuum of care grounded in youth voice, emerging adult research, and cross-system collaboration.

Kids Forward supports SB801/AB845, which would eliminate juvenile life without parole. This critical advancement towards a more developmentally appropriate juvenile justice system will reduce and repair harm, decrease racial disparities, increase child and family wellbeing, and increase opportunities for community-based alternatives to incarceration.
