Wisconsin Working Families Party
The Wisconsin Working Families Party is a progressive independent political organization that fights for social, economic, and racial justice—and wins.
Formed by grassroots activists, labor unions, and community organizations, our aim is to advance bold policy goals that support dignity and justice for the working class and a brighter future for Wisconsin. A future where the economy works for everyone, not just the wealthy and well-connected. One where politicians are accountable to working people, instead of Wall Street lobbyists and corporate CEOs. One where all of us, no matter where we come from, can find a good job, get healthcare when we need it, afford a home, send our kids to good schools, and have a secure retirement.
The Wisconsin Working Families Party combines issue advocacy campaigns with year-round electoral engagement to win ground breaking policies and elect strong progressive champions.
