From ACLU: For those issued a citation from Capitol police for "protest activity".

From ACLU:
Aclu Wisconsin

It's real now! We posted the information below this morning (note: the phone number may change - it does NOT work from jail and should not be considered an emergency number. Anyone who goes to jail needs to plan for their own bail and transportation needs.). As far as I know, everyone who has received citations is connected with Madison Mass Defense volunteers. Attorneys are reviewing litigation options. Their options are obviously different on Monday than they were last week. Expect a flurry of response from the First Amendment advocates.

For those who share our concerns about recent citations for protest activity at the Wisconsin State Capitol building: While the ACLU of Wisconsin's legal department works with local attorneys to review options for litigation over enforcement of unconstitutional Capitol access rules, individuals who receive citations should contact the Madison Mass Defense coalition at (608) 352-0138 to speak with a National Lawyers Guild attorney for immediate assistance. If individuals wish to further file a complaint with the ACLU of Wisconsin, they can email inquiries@aclu-wi.org or visit the legal link on our website for more on what kinds of cases the ACLU of Wisconsin accepts. Please repost.
