On May 1st, 2019, hundreds of businesses across the state will close so that workers, management, and customers can rally in Madison to restore driver licenses for immigrant families and low-income people in Wisconsin!
Restoring driver licenses for all will strengthen our economy, increase public safety, and keep families together. Click here to read Kids Forward’s factsheet about the economic and public safety benefits of driver licenses for all.

Click here to donate in support of this historic mobilization. Our most pressing need is transportation. We are organizing buses from cities across the state because many immigrant community members cannot safely drive to Madison because they currently cannot obtain driver licenses. A sponsorship of $2,000 covers 2 buses of 110 people! $1,000 cover the cost of 1 bus, $500 half a bus, $300 a 15-passenger van, $100 = seats for 5 low-wage immigrant workers.
