families, and assets to communities.

Women of EXPO

Because we matter!

Focused on the unique issues of women who have experienced incarceration. The Vera Institute of Justice found an increase of incarcerating women in Wisconsin since 1980 of 897%. Women are the fastest growing population in the criminal justice system. The impact is chilling as we know quite often are the sole-care givers of the children. We believe this is causing generational harm. We believe we can do better in Wisconsin.

Support Our Cause

People in our communities without direct experience with incarceration are often ill-informed of the negative, and catastrophic, effects on earnings and employment, physical and mental health, housing and education, and family well-being created and perpetuated by the carceral system. Through our advocacy work in local and state government, EXPO creates space, opportunity, and support for system-impacted individuals to raise their voices about the systemic and institutional harm of the incarceration. In the words of one of our organizers, EXPO’s work “shines a light of awareness and truth where others refuse to acknowledge.”

It's time to Unlock the Vote!

Courts and the Department of Corrections make it very clear a person who has been sentenced for a felony conviction loses their right to vote. But, the same is not done when a sentence is completed in full and rights are restored! We want to see this changed.
