Oppose AB 87: Exacerbating felony disenfranchisement

Wisconsin Conservation Voters urges you to oppose AB 87, which is before the Senate on Wednesday.

Voting is a right. Currently, Wisconsin has one of the most stringent voting rights restoration policies in the nation, only allowing rights restoration after fully completing the terms of a sentence – including probation, parole, and extended supervision. AB 87 would make this problem even worse by adding additional requirements before rights are restored. This would take us backward in the fight to protect Wisconsinites’ freedom to vote.

Oppose SB 94: Outlawing protected protest

Wisconsin Conservation Voters urges you to oppose SB 94, which is before the Senate on Wednesday.

The right to protest is central to the ability to advocate for a world where every person can breathe clean air, drink safe water, and protect the lands we love. SB 94 would create a vague definition of “riot” that could penalize whole groups of people for the actions of a few. SB 94 leaves too many questions of legality up to interpretation by police under rapidly changing conditions.

Oppose SB 184: Restricting the transition to clean, cost-efficient transportation and appliances

Wisconsin Conservation Voters urges you to oppose SB 184, which is before the Senate on Wednesday.

To make our air cleaner to breathe and help combat climate change, we need to quickly transition to clean transportation and appliances. SB 184 would work against this transition by prohibiting state agencies and local communities from phasing out the use of dirty, gas powered transportation and appliances.

Conservation Notices of the Week (CNOW) announces the pro-conservation positions on issues before the Senate, Assembly and/or Governor in the week ahead to state legislators. Others wishing to follow activities in the state legislature also receive CNOW, including legislative staff, conservation voters, and media. All of these issues are tracked on the Vote Tracker. Issues in the CNOW may appear in the Conservation Scorecard, to be released in the summer of 2026.
