Nearly a thousand people from across Wisconsin are taking part in Madison Action Day.
The day brings people from all different religious backgrounds together at the state capitol, where they're bringing concerns they have with different legislation.
Groups from more than nineteen different religions were in Madison today, including a local group called JOSHUA--or Justice Organization Sharing Hope and United for Action.
The group left early this morning on a bus from Green Bay's West Side Moravian church.
Leaders from the organization say they hope to be heard when it comes to issues in the proposed state budget that they say are important to them.
"The building up of community and relationships with legislators, and with each other," says Rev. Marian Boyle-Rohloff, "it's important to form those connections and build those relationships that we can open up dialogue."
The event takes place once every two years in Madison.
Some of the issues that were addressed today include education, immigration, prison reform, transit and environmental issues.
