The COVID-19 pandemic has caused a reinterpretation of what poverty means as more and more Dane County residents lose their jobs. Many Dane County families cannot pay rent, buy food, or afford medical care. In response to this global pandemic, state and federal governments are taking unprecedented steps to save lives now, and to save the economy in the long term. Governor Evers banned evictions and foreclosures for 60 days. Federal emergency legislation now allows workers in the gig economy to file for and receive unemployment insurance benefits. Orders and legislation like these were once considered unthinkable. Now they just make sense for the economic health of our state. Our local and state leaders can be in the forefront by taking affirmative steps to make sure our economy is not dragged down by barriers to financial growth.

Every time a suspended license is reinstated, the license holder must pay a $65.00 reinstatement fee. This can be a barrier to many who otherwise have the ability to drive again. To help people recover their driver's licenses and to get back on the road, please donate to our fund for paying Driver's License Reinstatement Fees.
