	"description": "We call for a weapons ban in Wisconsin state government buildings, because... Public agencies should be welcoming places for all. In Wisconsin today, most state government agencies allow weapons inside their buildings and in vehicles in their parking lots today. This has only been the case since 2011. Before then, only police and wardens could carry weapons in state buildings. Gov. Tony Evers and state agency leaders have the power to change this policy, for example by posting signs at doors and entrances, forbidding weapons in state agency buildings. They do not need to wait for the legislature. We want new policies to ban weapons where we work. Currently, Wisconsin state agencies allow their employees to Conceal Carry weapons at work or store a weapon (unlocked) in their own vehicle in a state parking lot as long as they tell their Supervisor, in most cases. Also members of the public may carry concealed weapons into state buildings. There are a few state government buildings where this is prohibited, but most state government buildings do allow weapons. State employees deserve input into all our conditions of work and Health &amp;amp; Safety policies especially. We need to have a good working environment to provide essential public services efficiently to all. Our input and participation is necessary for creating a strong safety culture. Getting guns out of our worksites will reduce the chance of accidents, suicides, thefts, crime &amp;amp; violence, and increase safety for employees and the public. Women, people of color, people with disabilities, LGBTQ people, and members of oppressed or minority groups are at particular risk of gun violence, so acting now will improve equity in our public agencies. The presence of firearms at work limits our ability to implement laws and provide public services democratically to all, by allowing an opportunity for intimidation and fear created by a few. To do our work impartially, public employees must be insulated from anti-democratic pressure from cronies, corporate bullies, partisan forces, or those who threaten violence. To encourage highly qualified job candidates to work in public agencies and provide the best quality services, we want to improve the working atmosphere of state agencies.
