Upcoming Events 

Come tell your story to elected officials and the community! They need to hear from you about what the bus system means to you and your family and why you need them to make it better!

Visit the ACLU's webpage for the forum or share information about the event on Facebook. 

This listening session is sponsored by the ACLU of Wisconsin, African-American Roundtable, ATU Local 998, Black Health Coalition of Wisconsin, Citizen Action of Wisconsin,Disability Rights Wisconsin, IndependenceFirst, MICAH, Midwest Environmental Advocates,Milwaukee Transit Riders Union, 9to5, Wisconsin Interfaith Power and Light, and Volunteers of America of Wisconsin.    

At the ACLU of Wisconsin, we are thankful for people like Rosa Parks, who have the courage to speak up, and act up, when their rights are being violated.  

December 1^st is the anniversary of the day in 1955 when Parks was arrested for refusing to give up her seat on the bus to a white ma n.

But we are STILL fighting for our seat on the bus: in August, the ACLU of Wisconsin filed suit to force the state of Wisconsin to reconsider spending $1.7 billion on freeway reconstruction while slashing budgets for buses and mass transit that people need.

You can help us work to ensure that all of our tax dollars support transportation spending on those who need it most. 

Join us at the December 3 Community Listening Session on Milwaukee's Public Transit Crisis on December 3. 

Tell others about what the ACLU of Wisconsin is doing to defend public transit. Share information about the forum on Facebook. And read more stories about this topic and all of the other civil liberties issues we work on in Wisconsin on our blog.
