Hosted by Public Rights Project, hear from AG Kaul about the power of state government to protect the rights of Wisconsinites and how the Wisconsin Department of Justice can serve as a model for other government offices to move the needle towards justice.

Josh Kaul was elected Wisconsin’s 45th Attorney General and took office in January 2019. With a background in voting rights and public safety, AG Kaul sought to reinvigorate the office’s work on a number of issues, from revitalizing the enforcement of WI’s consumer protection and environmental laws to launching new fair housing cases.

This is what Public Rights Project refers to as the equitable enforcement gap: the mismatch between the laws on the books and the lived realities of underserved communities — particularly people of color, immigrants, and low-wage workers — who rarely benefit from the protections we’re all promised.
