Consequences of the Anti-Equity Constitutional Amendment

August 20, 2026

By Tracy Abler, Justice Coordinator

Join League of Women Voters Wisconsin (LWVWI) and a panel of guest speakers to learn more about the anti-equity constitutional amendment appearing on the November 3, 2026, ballot.

Wisconsin voters will decide on a constitutional amendment that could have significant impacts on public education, employment, contracting, and government programs across the state. While the ballot language references discrimination and preferential treatment, the proposed amendment would also limit the use of certain equity-focused policies and programs.

Webinar Date: Tuesday, September 8, 2026
Time: 6:30 PM - 8:00 PM

Current speakers include:

Rachel Snyder - Law Forward, Policy Counsel
Suzanne Eckes - UW Madison, Susan S. Engeleiter Professor of Education Law, Policy, and Practice
Kadijha Marquardt-Davis - Strategic Health Policy Leader
Additional speaker will be announced soon
