Come out and Stand with us! Share your voice!!

The Dane County Board Public Protection and Judiciary and Health And Human Needs committees will hold a joint hearing on Tuesday February 24th at 5:15 at the Alliant Energy Center. Young Gifted and Black will hold a rally there at 4:30 pm.

There are parts of this resolution that are strong and parts that we need to push to make sure get the results that we need and meet the demands that Young Gifted and Black has been pushing for with broad community support.

Show up and show out! This is an important time to let your voices be heard!

There is power in numbers. Help us share the vision and demand the Madison of tomorrow.

Will You Stand With Us

If you can’t make it please contact your supervisor and the supervisors on PP&J and Health and Human Needs Committees.

We continue to push for our demands:

1. The county abandon all attempts to expand the capacity of the jail or build a new jail (Black people are disproportionately impacted and jails do nothing to address root causes).
2. The investment into Black led community initiatives (Our solutions should come from us).
3. The immediate release of 350 black people incarcerated due to crimes of poverty (Surviving poverty is not a crime. Poverty itself is the crime).
4. The end of Solitary confinement (it is inhumane and makes mental wellness issues worse).

Please, Stand with Us.

“In our glorious fight for civil rights, we must guard against being fooled by false slogans, such as ‘right-to-work.’ It provides no ‘rights’ and no ‘works.’ Its purpose is to destroy labor unions and the freedom of collective bargaining…. We demand this fraud be stopped.”—Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
