WAVE has generous donors who also feel this weight. Instead of our usual year-end match, they’ve offered to triple every donation between now and the end of this year to ensure we can enter next year with significant momentum. That means when you donate today, your gift will go three times as far.
In 2024 we received new, fairer election maps, and we know that, right now, Wisconsinites feel the urgency of preventing gun violence as strongly as we ever have. That’s why we feel so confident that 2025 brings Wisconsin greater opportunity for gun violence prevention progress than we’ve seen in years. To meet this critical moment, we wanted to let you know about the updates to our strategic plan. Here are three adjustments to our strategy based on our new landscape. We will: - Focus more heavily on bipartisan cooperation. Wisconsin’s new, more balanced election maps offer many legislators greater motivation to work across the aisle to prioritize the viewpoints their constituents value most.
-
Educate legislators about the fine details of gun violence prevention policies. We always work to educate lawmakers, but now it’s important that they are empowered to bring forward the strongest possible versions of the lifesaving bills they introduce.
-
Strengthen partnerships in areas such as suicide prevention, domestic violence, and anti-racism. Gun violence overlaps significantly with each of these issues, and working in coalition with other advocate leaders will amplify our collective power.
