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.
Commit to Vote!
Wyoming’s primary election turnout is very low. In the 2024 primaries, just 27 percent of eligible Wyoming voters cast a ballot. That means a small minority chooses the officials who make major decisions that affect all of us.
We need more everyday Wyomingites LIKE YOU to vote in the elections where you can have a real voice.

What We’re Up To
The best remedy for Wyoming’s healthcare problems? VOTING.
Our healthcare system is sick. It needs some strong medicine, and it needs it now. Fortunately, we have just about the strongest prescription out there: VOTING.
What are Friend-Banks?
Better Wyoming volunteers have been hosting ‘friend-banks’ across the state. These gatherings aim to mobilize voters through small social events, where participants encourage their friends and family to commit to voting in the upcoming elections.
Reporting and Commentary
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. Anyone who waited to vote until then is missing out on voting in the elections that matter for Wyoming’s future. That is why Better Wyoming is working hard to get people out to vote in the Wyoming Primary elections on Aug. 18.
