We believe everyday Wyomingites should have a say in the decisions that shape our lives.
Through civic education, leadership development and collective action, we coach folks on how to speak up, get involved, and work together to improve our communities.
It’s up to us to build a better Wyoming.
How We Build a Better Wyoming
Civic Education
We teach folks how the issues that impact their lives are connected to politics and government, and how to engage in the processes that shape them.
Collective Action
We organize people to take action together to publicly demonstrate power and let decisionmakers know where the people of Wyoming stand.
Leadership Development
We train everyday people with the skills and knowledge to organize their own communities.

The general election is your final chance to make your voice heard in races that are still competitive, including critical down-ballot races that directly impact your community. These are the races that appear lower on your ballot, like city council, school board, and ballot measures like Proposition 1, which will appear on all Wyoming ballots this November.
We need more everyday Wyomingites LIKE YOU to vote in the elections down-ballot that impact your community.

Why are we working to get people to vote in the Wyoming Primary elections?
By the time the general election rolls around in November, 80% of elections have already been decided.
