Advancing Wisconsin
was created in 2008 out of a common problem progressive communities and organizations face: rebuilding infrastructure every two years. For too long, huge organizing efforts-whether they be public education media campaigns, grassroots lobbying initiatives or candidate elections-have mobilized thousands of state residents and amassed huge quantities of valuable data only to see it all dissipate after the project, legislative session or election year comes to an end. Advancing Wisconsin changes this equation serving as a permanent entity - active in both odd and even numbered years - focused on both the advancement of progressive polices and electoral opportunities.
