The image you shared is **advocacy**: it urges a “yes” vote on all five. It identifies the general subjects, but leaves out some important changes to public hearings and City Council oversight.

## 1. Public-space approvals
### What would change?
This proposal would simplify permissions to use public streets and sidewalks for features such as accessibility ramps, planters, benches, and outdoor cafés.

@wiblueeyes.bsky.social🚫 VOTE NO on the WI Constitutional Amendment — November 3, 2026
Don't be fooled by the ballot language. This amendment is being sold as an anti-discrimination measure — but discrimination is already illegal under Wisconsin and federal law.
