Our mission:

​To advocate for progressive change in the Wisconsin justice system by educating the public about the system's real-life impacts and partnering with other organizations to achieve more just outcomes.

Our vision:

A legal system that is fair, accessible, and impartial—a legal system that values every life it serves and in which no person is overlooked or counted out.

Our Priorities

• Ensuring that municipal court defendants are treated fairly
• Educating the public about judges and judicial candidates
• Legalizing medical and recreational cannabis to avoid the disparate impact of current criminal laws on minority individuals
• Educating the public about ballot questions on proposed constitutional amendments
• Increasing access to justice and legal representation for poor litigants in civil and criminal courts
• Reforming bail laws to eliminate unnecessary and unjust pretrial detention while ensuring public safety
• Ensuring humane and equitable treatment of individuals incarcerated in state and local institutions
• Returning 17-year-olds to the juvenile justice system
