Here’s the description:
We can decarcerate Dane: An action-focused panel discussion – Even as the County Board voted to build a new $227 million jail, jail supporters said they supported reducing the number of people we put behind bars. Come strategize about what we need to decarcerate Dane — and how we can make it happen. Joining us for Progressive Dane’s September GMM are Freedom Inc co-executive director and Movement for Black Lives policy leadership team member M Adams, Madison-area Urban Ministry case manager and peer specialist Janie Ocejo, scholar on racial disparities in criminal justice Pam Oliver and County Board Supervisor Heidi Wegleitner. Panel moderated by PD steering committee member Diane Farsetta.
The rest of the Progressive Dane General membership meeting will be updates on:
– F-35s
– City Budget
– County Budget
