Wisconsin Voices (c3)
Organization Description
Wisconsin Voices builds grassroots power across Wisconsin through year-round issue and electoral organizing rooted in progressivism, equity, justice, and community leadership.
2026 Programs
From January 1 through December 31, Wisconsin Voices will lead a statewide, multi-tactic campaign aligned with the 2026 Wisconsin electoral cycle. The effort will combine door-to-door canvassing, phone banking, digital and print advertising, and visibility events to expand civic participation among underrepresented communities across the state. Participants will receive education on issues, voting procedures, voter registration, and assistance with photo ID or address requirements. Educational events will provide information about civic processes, while earned media will amplify underrepresented voices. By integrating outreach strategies, the campaign will reduce barriers such as limited information, frequent moves, and logistical challenges that hinder participation.
2025 Programs
In 2025, Wisconsin Voices focused on statewide civic empowerment and community advocacy. The organization advanced its strategic plan to strengthen democracy by supporting grassroots leadership, partner coalitions, and capacity building for nonprofits across Wisconsin. It provided resources for voter education, registration outreach, and communications with partners to build power in underrepresented communities. The group’s work included storytelling, public education, and local advocacy efforts that addressed social justice and civic engagement issues while amplifying community voices and strengthening coalitions for racial and economic equity throughout the state.
2024 Programs
We will foster 3% increased turnout out by new and unlikely BIPOC voters by implementing a coordinated campaign in the Greater Milwaukee Area and key rural areas that will educate and mobilize voters via multi-tactical layering including doors/event/site based canvassing, registration assistance, phones, texts, digital, and mail.
Mission
Our mission is to engage with community partners, organizations, and groups to provide long-term collective impact for all Wisconsinites. Our three pillars of Civic Engagement are Protecting Democracy, Teaching Advocacy, and Building Community.
