Wisconsin legislators have introduced some voting bills that may make it harder for people with disabilities and older adults to vote. A hearing on some bills is tentatively scheduled for later in the week. It is important that policy-makers hear from voters with disabilities, older adults, and their allies.
Join us on Tuesday April 13th on Zoom to learn about the bills and how you can share your concerns with policymakers and the media. Let’s work together to ask policymakers to support accessible and inclusive elections.
