The following was submitted by Mark Rice, Statewide Organizer/Assistant State Director at EXPO.
EXPO and WISDOM leaders were shocked
recently to learn that the Wisconsin Department of Corrections (DOC) was
using a training presentation that compared people on supervision to
animals. Our organizing efforts led the DOC to remove the
offensive images from their PowerPoint presentations. Thank you to all those who contacted their legislators and local DOC officials and posted messages
on social media regarding this matter. Click here to read additional information on the discovery.
The 2017 EXPO of Milwaukee Community Forum will be on Saturday, April 29, from 11:30 a.m. to 3 p.m., at
