No Good Side to the ‘Anti-Equity’ WI Constitutional Amendment on Nov. Ballot
This November, Wisconsin voters will decide whether to amend the Wisconsin Constitution. Constitutional amendments are different from ordinary legislation because they permanently change Wisconsin’s governing document and are significantly more difficult to modify in the future.
This anti-equity amendment would place new constitutional restrictions on how state and local governments may consider race, sex, ethnicity, and other protected characteristics in certain public activities. Pro-democracy groups argue it could limit policies and programs designed to address longstanding disparities.
Following is a reprint of an informational flyer distributed by the Wisconsin League of Women Voters. It provides an overview of the amendment. To the right are resources you may use to become educated on the subject, and the tools you can use to help defeat this dangerous constitutional amendment.
