Ask Governor Evers to Commute Excessive Sentences!

We call on Governor Tony Evers to consider requests to commute sentences that are excessive, beginning with the cases of Michael Maldonado and Israel Saldana.


Why is this important?

Israel Saldana and Michael Maldonado are two of many people who were either convicted when they were children, or who were given sentences way out of proportion to their crimes, or who are still in prison years after others with identical criminal histories have been released. They are two of the many who have grown and changed during their years in prison. 

Excessive sentences like theirs are part of the reason Wisconsin's prison racial disparities are, by many measures, worst in the nation.


View and sign the petition by clicking the link here or on the side. We are aiming to receive 800 signatures.

Tell Governor Evers to commute excessive sentences!

End Mass Incarceration in Wisconsin!

We all want dignity and justice for our loved ones, and healing for those who have suffered from trauma, addiction or mental health crises.


Instead, politicians have built new prisons, incarcerating over 41,000 of our loved ones leading to an incarceration rate of 676 to every 1,000 in Wisconsin. (Prison Policy Initiative).


Together, we work to end mass incarceration, expand funding to community-based alternatives to crimeless revocations and treatment alternatives and diversions.  We will close prions and re-invest money in programs that will rebuild communities that have been devastated by mass incarceration.


The FREE Campaign is focused on the unique issues of women who have experienced incarceration. You can learn more about FREE in the resources below.
