Today’s conservation notices:
- Oppose SB 94: Outlawing public protest
- Oppose SB 95: Exacerbating felony disenfranchisement
Oppose SB 94: Outlawing public protest
Wisconsin Conservation Voters urges you to oppose SB 94, which is before the Senate Committee on Judiciary and Public Safety on Tuesday.
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 95: Exacerbating felony disenfranchisement
Wisconsin Conservation Voters urges you to oppose SB 95, which is before the Senate Committee on Judiciary and Public Safety on Tuesday.
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. SB 95 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.
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.
