Join a local team
Check out our interactive map of Network partners in Wisconsin! While not all of us work on the same issues, we all believe in the power of our public schools and understand that none of us can build the Wisconsin our kids deserve if we don’t work together. This map can help local-level advocates find an existing team, organization, or coalition in their community and get involved. We do not have a formal partnership structure, and the local-level groups with which we work range from large nonprofit organizations to educators’ groups to informal local-level coalitions, referendum teams, and friends of public schools, and everything in between.
