People of Faith United for Justice
2017 Advocacy Day at the Capitol
Tuesday, April 4
 9:00 am - 4:00 pm
Registration Deadline: March 29
First United Methodist Church 
 203 Wisconsin Ave, Madison
 Near the Capital Square
The Interfaith Conference of Greater Milwaukee partners with the Wisconsin Council of Churches and several other organizations to hold an advocacy day in Madison during biennial state budget deliberations. As people of faith, we are called to join the public conversation about the common good - about the kind of a state and nation we can be justifiably proud of, the legacy we want to leave our children and future generations. Past generations of citizens, through government, made the decisions and investments that benefit us today. Now it is our turn.
People of Faith United for Justice is a day-long gathering to learn, discuss, pray and advocate together for social justice issues of importance to all the people of Wisconsin. As a new legislature starts work on the next state budget, our representatives need to hear our values, priorities, and concerns, our expectations and aspirations. Whether we expect them to agree with us or not, they need to hear from us. Together, we can ensure that our commitment to compassion and justice is reflected in that budget.
There will be briefing sessions on these issues during the day as well as opportunities for training for effective engagement with legislators in the afternoon visits at the Capitol. We hope that Advocacy Day will inspire and equip you for effective advocacy throughout the year.
Issues to be addressed:
 
 Protecting Our Social Safety Net: Wisconsin families rely on food stamps, housing vouchers, BadgerCare, and other programs to help them meet their basic needs. Raise your voice to protect access to these vital services.
 
 Confronting the Hidden Problem of Sex Trafficking in our Rural and Urban Communities: Support bi-partisan efforts and challenge our legislators to do more.
 
 Preserving Clean Drinking Water: Lead and manure in water supplies threaten human health throughout our state. Tell your legislators we must ensure safe drinking water for everyone.
The keynote speaker with be the Bishop Steven A. Miller from the Episcolpal Diocese of Milwaukee
