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.

Better Wyoming’s ‘Voter 101’ town hall talks about low voter turnout and why your vote matters
Better Wyoming held a voter information town hall in Casper to kick off this election season. This town hall provided attendees with information on how to register to vote, what you can bring with you to the polls, and more information to help folks to feel confident to cast a ballot. More importantly, this town hall discussed voter turnout and highlighted why every person’s vote matters in local and statewide elections.
Faith Leaders Speak Out For a Compassionate Budget
Budgets aren’t just abstract numbers and endless, confusing line-items. They’re moral documents. That’s what a group of two dozen Wyoming faith leaders said, when they gathered at the State Capitol on February 12th.

Redistricting is a boring, bonkers, sometimes corrupt process in Wyoming you need to know about
Every 10 years the Wyoming Legislature redraws the voting map that determines which lawmakers represent which people. On its face, “redistricting” is dull. But it’s a critically important process that often invites creativity—as well as creativity’s relatives, corruption and abuse.
