Wisconsin Day of Empathy
March 07, 2025
Day of Empathy is the nation’s largest day of action for criminal justice reform, and this wouldn’t be possible without everyone’s collective effort in fighting for what’s right. It brings together people from all walks of life who have been negatively impacted by America’s criminal justice system – from survivors of violent crime to those who are currently incarcerated individuals to the loved ones on the outside who advocate for their freedom and systemic reforms, from children of incarcerated parents to people on mass supervision to all community members impacted by crime, public safety issues, and violence.
Wisconsin’s Day of Empathy is March 13, 2025 with focus on Transforming Supervision. You are invited to join state partners for a legislative day at the Wisconsin State Capitol to uplift your voice alongside justice-impacted people, families, and allies to discuss with legislators how supervision (probation, parole and extended supervision) should be changed to transform our state towards public safety and thriving communities for all people. There will be a Supervision Activity, Lunch with legislators Simulation and Educational Legislative Visits.
