Who we are
Democracy is something we practice together every day.
Badger Youth Organizing brings young Wisconsinites together to build community, learn, organize, and take part in our democracy all year long.
Working-class, rural, immigrant, and communities of color are at the center of shaping Wisconsin’s future.
We build social connection, shared identity, and the resources to organize around the everyday issues that affect our lives.
Our goal is year-round social and civic engagement on campuses and communities, not a campaign that disappears after Election Day.

Wisconsin voter guide
Know what’s on your ballot. Make your plan.
Elections shape daily life, from housing, childcare, and health care to public transportation, air and water, and public schools. Our nonpartisan guide helps people learn how to vote, understand what is on the ballot, and find ways to participate in our democracy.
