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.

What We’re Up To
Better Wyoming Fights Irresponsible Tax Cuts
Better Wyoming showed up recently at the Revenue Committee’s meeting to tell legislators – and the Wyoming public – just how bad things would be for hardworking Wyomingites if these irresponsible cuts go through.
Wyoming Says NO to Book Bans
Hundreds of people flooded lawmakers with emails and gave public testimony in resistance to a bill that aims to ban books and penalize libraries. The fight isn’t over, but together we’ve shown the legislature that Wyoming won’t accept censorship.
Better Wyoming Leads the Charge for our Public Lands
For the first time in half a century the Wyoming Legislature, under Freedom Caucus leadership, failed their constitutional duty to pass a state budget. These are just some of the programs and agencies that will go unfunded as a result.
Reporting and Commentary
“INTERIM” WRAP-UP: HEALTHCARE FUNDING
Members of the Freedom Caucus attempted to “DOGE” the Wyoming Department of Health’s budget, but found no waste, fraud, or abuse. That didn’t stop them from cutting tens of millions from the Governor’s proposed budget for healthcare.
“INTERIM” WRAP-UP: MATERNAL HEALTHCARE
Wyoming’s “maternity care deserts” are growing as healthcare facilities close, leaving more and more communities and women without access to care. The Legislature’s Joint Labor Health Committee was supposed to address this problem over the interim, but chose to focus on protecting fake anti-abortion clinics instead.
“INTERIM” WRAP-UP: BANNING BOOKS
Out-of-state groups like Moms for Liberty have successfully worked to demonize librarians across Wyoming. Now, the legislature is set to join in with a bill sponsored by the Joint Judiciary Committee.
