Divest Wisconsin From The Border Wall

2017 Assembly Bill 273

This legislation was introduced to prohibit the State of Wisconsin from investing in companies that enter into a contract with the federal government to build President Trump’s proposed border wall (Executive Order 13767).

This bill would prohibit the State of Wisconsin Investment Board from investing in any businesses that contract with the federal government to build President Trump’s border wall between the United States and Mexico.

There are a growing number of state lawmakers across the country who are standing united in opposition to the proposed 1,933-mile border wall with Mexico. Lawmakers in California, Illinois, New York, Rhode Island and Arizona have already introduced similar legislation.
