At the end of 2015, WISDOM re-branded its campaign "ROC Wisconsin: Restoring Our Communities." It will continue to promote the issues lifted up in the Blueprint. Four major work groups were established state-wide to educate and mobilize the public around these initiatives, and a new organization of formerly-incarcerated people was launched.WISDOM held Poverty Symposiums in Milwaukee, Stevens Point, Appleton, Eau Claire and Madison to encourage people to consider the relationships between faith, public policy and poverty in their electoral decisions.
