A healthy environment depends on a healthy democracy – where everyone can vote and elected leaders reflect the will of the people.
Who is impacted?
Too many people in Wisconsin – and across the nation – face barriers to voting due to discriminatory laws and policies that fail to serve all communities. Our current system is broken – often benefiting the powerful and wealthy, while the rest of us are left behind. Those most affected include people of color, low-income residents, people with disabilities, the elderly, young voters, formerly incarcerated individuals, and people whose first language is not English.
Every person, regardless of background, identity, or ability, should be able to cast a ballot and have a meaningful voice in our democracy.
What are the solutions?
Wisconsin needs policies and public investments that establish checks and balances on power, and ensure everyday people can have a say in how our government is run. Restrictive voting laws must be updated to reflect the will of voters – not the interests of a powerful few.
We are working to advance transformative voting rights legislation that would establish an affirmative right to vote, implement automatic voter registration, and expand access for voters. The people hold the power when we vote.
Take Action
Our vision is a Wisconsin where every eligible voter can participate freely and fairly in our democracy. That future depends on people like you. Together, we can build a democracy that truly reflects the people it serves.
