Madison, Wisconsin May 8, 2022 The Federal Bureau of Investigation’s Milwaukee Field Office is asking for the public’s help in identifying the individual(s) responsible for an arson at the Wisconsin Family Action executive office, located at 2801 International Lane, Madison, Wisconsin. On May 8, 2022, at approximately 6:00 a.m., the Madison Wisconsin Police and Fire Departments were dispatched to the Wisconsin Family Action executive office for a fire.
Upon arrival, the fire was quickly extinguished, and no injuries were reported. Subsequent investigation revealed two Molotov cocktails were thrown into the office.
An exterior search of the office building revealed graffiti written on the exterior of the building near a broken window that stated, "If abortions aren't safe then you aren't either."

One individual has been sentenced in this matter, however, law enforcement continues to seek further information regarding additional suspects.
