In the wake of the horrifying police
shooting of Jacob Blake, a Black man in Kenosha, who was shot in
the back while his three children watched, Governor Evers called
the State Legislature into a special session on police
accountability and transparency.

After you sign the petition, you'll be directed to a page where
you can call your state legislator and urge them to enact the
police reform legislation that Governor Evers and Lt. Governor
Barnes have proposed. There's a script on the page to help guide
you. Please take a moment to make this call. It's one of the most
important things you can do to help this reform pass.
This legislation would, among other things:* Promote
de-escalation techniques
* Set use of force standards to prevent deadly force
* Set up the Department of Justice to publish a report on use of
force incidents
* Prohibit no-knock search warrants like the one that led to
Breonna Taylor's murder in Kentucky
It is a necessary step to take for justice in policing here in
Wisconsin.
But Governor Evers' bills have been sitting on Wisconsin Speaker
Robin Vos' desk for months, who refuses to do his job and put
them up for a vote.
Republican Speaker Robin Vos and the GOP need to put justice
above politics. Help us put pressure on them now to deliver the
change Wisconsinites deserve.
Sign the petition to support Governor Ever's comprehensive police
reform legislation →
