We're building

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

68th Legislative Session

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.

Group

Collective Action

We organize people to take action together to publicly demonstrate power and let decisionmakers know where the people of Wyoming stand.

2026 Wyo. Legislature Grassroots Accountability Campaign

How well do your local Wyoming state legislators represent you? How do you know? 

Check out Better Wyoming’s 2026 Grassroots Accountability Reports, which track how your own local legislators voted during the budget session on important issues impacting healthcare, education, community funding and more.

Learn whether their votes represent your values on issues that impact your community.

The Grassroots Institute

The Grassroots Institute is developing future leaders of Wyoming!
Better Wyoming’s Grassroots Institute is an eight-week training program that develops leaders across the state into community organizers. We combine research, best practices, and on-the-ground experience to share with volunteers and partner organizations so they can learn what they need to make a difference.

What We’re Up To

The best remedy for Wyoming’s healthcare problems? VOTING.

July 17, 2024

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?

July 15, 2024

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.

Together, we can build a Better Wyoming

Reporting and Commentary

“INTERIM” WRAP-UP: MATERNAL HEALTHCARE

January 31, 2026

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

January 24, 2026

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.

“INTERIM” WRAP-UP: PROPERTY TAXES

January 15, 2026

The legislature has already passed a series of targeted property tax relief measures as well as a broad 25 percent tax cut last year. This has defunded critical services in Wyoming communities. Now, the Joint Revenue Committee is sponsoring a bill to get rid of property taxes entirely.
