ROC (Restore Our Communities) Wisconsin, A Project of WISDOM:

R.O.C. Wisconsin is an urgent call to our state to:

Restore communities that have been harmed by mass incarceration;

Restore families to wholeness and health;

Restore balance, fiscal discipline and humane priorities to our state’s criminal justice system;

Restore men and women back to the community who do not need to be incarcerated;

Restore people to health through increased treatment alternatives to incarceration, decreased use of solitary confinement, better support for those who return from jail or prison.

WISDOM is a statewide network of faith communities that works to promote the common good by building diverse communities and encouraging broad participation in the democratic process. WISDOM is a grassroots organization, comprised mostly of religious congregations of many denominations, from about 160 congregations, of 19 different religious traditions. Besides criminal justice reform, WISDOM and its local organizations promote Immigrant Rights, Economic Justice, Health Care, Public Transportation, Workforce, Housing, and more.

SIP - (Supporters of Incarcerated People)

Supporters of Incarcerated People (SIP) is a new project of the ROC Campaign, especially the Old Law Parole and Compassionate Release Work-group. This new effort results from family members and loved ones of people in prison who have a two-part goal: to build a network of mutual support; and to develop a strong voice for them to lift up the issues and injustices that they experience themselves, or through their loved ones.

SIP Conference Calls:

When: Every 3rd Saturday of each month

Time: 8:30 am

Meetings: Contact WISDOM for Zoom info and to register for regular updates

wisdomforjustice@gmail.com or 414-831- 2017

They have physical meetings a few times a year, which are announced on the monthly calls.

Unlock The Vote Campaign

A campaign to restore voting rights to people when they return from incarceration.

WISDOM has launched the “Unlock the Vote” campaign to restore voting

rights to people when they return from incarceration. Incarcerated people

never lose the right to vote in states like Vermont and Maine: that should

be the case here as well! A huge majority of those formerly incarcerated

are people of color. Why do we want people to vote?

Voting helps people feel a sense of ownership over their community, helping to reduce recidivism.
People on probation and parole pay taxes and live within our communities and therefore should have a say in how those communities operate.
Voting is part of democracy, and a true democracy includes all of its people.

Update: It is with profound sadness that we share the news of the passing of our dear brother, Chad Wilson. His presence brought light and joy to our lives, and his uplifting spirit and cheerful personality will be deeply missed. Chad was not only a cherished friend but also a valued member of our community, leaving behind a legacy of kindness and warmth that touched us all. During this difficult time, we ask for your thoughts and prayers for Chad's children, mother, and family as they navigate through this loss. Let us honor Chad's memory by reflecting on the love and positivity he brought into the world.

The father's absence is an epidemic affecting every class and sector of

American Society, prevalence and impact within American's urban communities is especially acute.

At present twenty-four million, or 34 percent of America's children live in a household in which

the biological father does not live. M.F.I has

identified six key areas that have the most direct impact on men/fathers being involved, responsible and committed in the lives of their children: driver's license recovery, child support debt reduction, media/public relations, education, men's health

and summit. For information or assistance contact:
