Wisconsin business leaders have joined together to release a joint statement calling on Wisconsin elected officials to protect our freedom to vote. If you are a business leader and would like add your name, sign on here.

Here is their statement:

We are Wisconsin business leaders, representing companies across the state, and condemn the efforts of the state legislators who are proposing bills attacking our freedom to vote. We believe that every Wisconsin voter should have an equal opportunity to participate in our democracy and make their voice heard, regardless of their race, background, or zip code. 

Wisconsin state legislators have introduced a set of bills that would create steep barriers to voting, particularly targeting voters with disabilities, elderly voters, and Black and Brown communities. Our country has made significant strides throughout history by enacting national standards that enable fair access to the ballot, but these legislators are trying to take us backwards and threaten our democratic system.

We are calling on state elected officials to oppose these bills and make the promise of democracy real for us all. We are united in our efforts to protect the freedom to vote and ensure every Wisconsin citizen has an equal opportunity to vote for the people who will represent them.
