ALTHOUGH THE JAIL WILL BE LARGER THAN WE WANTED, IT IS SMALLER THAN ORIGINALLY PROPOSED AND COMES WITH RENEWED COMMITMENT TO REFORMS THAT WILL KEEP MORE PEOPLE OUT OF JAIL AND OUT OF THE CRIMINAL-LEGAL SYSTEM.

JSRI ALSO MEETS WITH NEWLY ELECTED AND APPOINTED INDIVIDUALS, TO GAIN UNDERSTANDING AND TO DEVELOP RELATIONSHIPS. THESE INCLUDE: THE IMPLEMENTATION OF A CRISIS/TRIAGE CENTER WILL BOTH HELP TO KEEP PEOPLE OUT OF THE CRIMINAL-LEGAL SYSTEM AND BE AN IMPORTANT RESOURCE FOR INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE HAVING A MENTAL HEALTH CRISIS; THE COMMUNITY ALTERNATIVE RESPONSE EMERGENCY SERVICES (CARES) PROGRAM IN MADISON AND NOW EXPANDED TO SUN PRAIRIE.

SINCE THEN, EAG HAS BEEN IN COMMUNICATION WITH BOTH SCHOOL DISTRICT LEADERS AND OFFICIALS TO HELP ENSURE THAT THEY ARE FOLLOWING ACT 20'S REQUIREMENTS. WE ARE OPTIMISTIC FOR IMPROVED READING PROFICIENCY IN OUR STATE, WHILE WE ALSO KNOW THAT THERE IS MUCH WORK TO BE DONE. FINALLY, THE HOUSING GROUP (HG) PARTICIPATED IN A SUCCESSFUL EFFORT TO HAVE THE STATE SUPREME COURT SHORTEN THE RECORD-RETENTION PERIOD FOR EVICTION CASES IN WHICH NO MONEY JUDGMENT IS ENTERED FROM 20 YEARS TO TWO.

MOSES STRONGLY SUPPORTS THE ABOLITION OF SOLITARY CONFINEMENT IN THE JUSTICE SYSTEM. ON APRIL 23, 2024, OVER 70 ATTENDEES IN A PACKED MEETING ROOM IN THE STATE CAPITOL HEARD A POWERFUL SERIES OF SPEAKERS ON THE INHUMANE PRACTICE OF SOLITARY CONFINEMENT IN WISCONSIN PRISONS AND JAILS. AMONG THE 70-PLUS LISTENERS WERE FIVE LEGISLATORS AND 10 AIDES; ON THE PANEL WERE SIX PEOPLE WHO HAD SPENT TIME IN SOLITARY, FOUR CLERGY, AND A WOMAN WHO HAD RECENTLY LOST HER FATHER TO SUICIDE IN SOLITARY. WISDOM ARRANGED FOR INFORMATIONAL PACKETS TO BE DELIVERED TO ALL LEGISLATORS' OFFICES AFTER THE EVENT.$0$0
OTHER NOTABLE LEARNING ADVOCACY EVENTS AND ORGANIZATIONAL GROWTH: LUNCH AND LEARN FUNDRAISER CELEBRATES MADISON'S NEW SAFE HOUSE. ON MAY 15, 2024 MOSES MEMBERS AND OTHERS GATHERED FOR A "LUNCH AND LEARN" FUNDRAISER AT LAKE EDGE LUTHERAN CHURCH IN MONONA. WE WERE THERE TO HEAR EXPO MEMBER DELILAH MCKINNEY SPEAK ABOUT THE SPECIAL PROBLEMS OF WOMEN WHO SPEND TIME IN PRISON, WHAT THEY NEED TO SUCCEED AFTER RELEASE, AND HOW SHE OBTAINED A GRANT FOR A SAFE HOUSE THAT HELPS THEM MOVE TOWARD NEW LIVES. "END THE LOCKDOWNS," A COMMUNITY FORUM AT FIRST UNITARIAN SOCIETY ON FEB. 1, 2024, PRESENTED DRAMATIC TESTIMONY ABOUT THE ONGOING HUMANITARIAN CRISIS IN WISCONSIN'S OVERCROWDED PRISONS. PERSONAL STORIES WERE ADDED BY FAMILY MEMBERS WHOSE INCARCERATED LOVED ONES HAD DIED OR BEEN SEVERELY INJURED AS A RESULT OF ABUSE OR NEGLECT BY PRISON STAFF. THE TAKE-AWAY MESSAGE FROM THE FORUM WAS TO KEEP LOBBYING AND KEEP EDUCATING MORE AND MORE VOTERS ABOUT THE NEEDED CHANGES. FINALLY, MOSES PURSUES DEEPER INVOLVEMENT BY LOCAL AFRICAN AMERICAN CHURCHES. TO THAT END, MOSES PRESIDENT SAUNDRA BROWN ARRANGED VISITS BY SMALL MOSES GROUPS TO FOUR DIFFERENT AFRICAN AMERICAN CHURCHES. EACH VISITING MOSES GROUP WAS ACCOMPANIED BY SAUNDRA AND/OR JAMES MORGAN, OUR ORGANIZER. ONE OF THE FOUR CHURCHES, SECOND BAPTIST, HAS SINCE BEEN WELCOMED IN AS A NEW MEMBER OF MOSES.$0$0

IRS990EZ/ProgramSrvcAccomplishmentGrp/DescriptionProgramSrvcAccomTxt3OTHER NOTABLE LEARNING ADVOCACY EVENTS AND ORGANIZATIONAL GROWTH: LUNCH AND LEARN FUNDRAISER CELEBRATES MADISON'S NEW SAFE HOUSE. ON MAY 15, 2024 MOSES MEMBERS AND OTHERS GATHERED FOR A "LUNCH AND LEARN" FUNDRAISER AT LAKE EDGE LUTHERAN CHURCH IN MONONA. WE WERE THERE TO HEAR EXPO MEMBER DELILAH MCKINNEY SPEAK ABOUT THE SPECIAL PROBLEMS OF WOMEN WHO SPEND TIME IN PRISON, WHAT THEY NEED TO SUCCEED AFTER RELEASE, AND HOW SHE OBTAINED A GRANT FOR A SAFE HOUSE THAT HELPS THEM MOVE TOWARD NEW LIVES. "END THE LOCKDOWNS," A COMMUNITY FORUM AT FIRST UNITARIAN SOCIETY ON FEB. 1, 2024, PRESENTED DRAMATIC TESTIMONY ABOUT THE ONGOING HUMANITARIAN CRISIS IN WISCONSIN'S OVERCROWDED PRISONS. PERSONAL STORIES WERE ADDED BY FAMILY MEMBERS WHOSE INCARCERATED LOVED ONES HAD DIED OR BEEN SEVERELY INJURED AS A RESULT OF ABUSE OR NEGLECT BY PRISON STAFF. THE TAKE-AWAY MESSAGE FROM THE FORUM WAS TO KEEP LOBBYING AND KEEP EDUCATING MORE AND MORE VOTERS ABOUT THE NEEDED CHANGES. FINALLY, MOSES PURSUES DEEPER INVOLVEMENT BY LOCAL AFRICAN AMERICAN CHURCHES. TO THAT END, MOSES PRESIDENT SAUNDRA BROWN ARRANGED VISITS BY SMALL MOSES GROUPS TO FOUR DIFFERENT AFRICAN AMERICAN CHURCHES. EACH VISITING MOSES GROUP WAS ACCOMPANIED BY SAUNDRA AND/OR JAMES MORGAN, OUR ORGANIZER. ONE OF THE FOUR CHURCHES, SECOND BAPTIST, HAS SINCE BEEN WELCOMED IN AS A NEW MEMBER OF MOSES.
