FREE Achievements Continued
With the support of the Wisconsin Partnership Program Collaboration Fund, Ouida Lock was hired in June 2019 to be an organizer in Milwaukee, and Sarah launched a chapter in Chippewa Valley. They began to organize and gain recognition by sharing their experiences at town halls, sitting on committees related to incarceration, SUD, MH, developing relationships with other impacted women, allies, and decision makers. They began hosting issue cutting meetings with other directly impacted women and allies in their respective areas. Women across the state identified vital concerns that ensured economic safety and security, housing safety and security, and family unification.
