Conservation Lobby Day is back

Hi John,

It’s happening!

Conservation Lobby Day is back and we are more excited than ever to see all you in Madison. This week, Gov. Evers released his 2023-25 Biennial Budget proposal and we now have the four priorities we’ll present to legislators when we gather together on April 25!

Because of all your hard work, our priorities became the governor’s priorities. Now, we have to build on that momentum and make sure the final budget includes them. Here are the four priorities we’ll ask our legislators to support:

Clean water
Support Gov. Evers’ $106 million plan to address PFAS contamination statewide. This will provide needed support for communities facing contamination, new staff for testing and remediation, and expanded educational outreach to impacted communities. 

Clean energy
Support $10 million for expanding clean energy job training and reemployment opportunities for folks joining our clean energy workforce. This will help ensure that Wisconsin is able to meet our climate goals while ensuring that we have a workforce that can provide for their families into the future.

Democracy for all
Support Gov. Evers’ proposal to implement automatic voter registration. This will ensure that more Wisconsinites can quickly and easily register to vote.  

Supporting local communities

Support Gov. Evers’ plan to create a five-person local government grant resources team. This will ensure that local communities can maximize their opportunities to apply for federal grants that address their safe drinking water and clean energy needs.

Now that we have our priorities set, it’s all about getting ready to meet you. You can stay updated on Conservation Lobby Day here. Forward this email or the link to your networks and let’s make this the best Lobby Day we can!

What is Conservation Lobby Day?

If you’re new to Conservation Lobby Day let me break it down for you. Hundreds of our members gather in Madison to interact directly with their elected representatives in the legislature. You’ll visit and meet with your legislators in person – alongside fellow Wisconsin Conservation Voters members – and make direct asks for their support of our priorities above. 

We’ll take the morning to learn how these issues directly affect you and your community, learn the basics of lobbying, and practice together before you go to your meetings.

Sponsorship opportunities available

But in order for this to happen, we need your support. Your sponsorship makes it possible for Wisconsinites from Ashland to Racine to Eau Claire to gather under one tent and fight for your conservation values in the State Capitol. Become a sponsor today.

Sponsors will be recognized in Conservation Lobby Day materials and at the event. Learn more about sponsorship opportunities and benefits or download a printable sponsorship form.

This is how we build a movement! I can’t wait to see you in Madison, so register today! When conservation voters come together and advocate for a healthy environment for everyone – we are a force to be reckoned with. 

Thanks for being a conservation voter,

Jennifer Giegerich
