Hi John,

If you’ve been closely following our work, you may have already noticed something taking shape behind the scenes. We’ve been quietly building something powerful alongside trusted partners across the state and country—and now, we’re excited to officially share it with everyone: the launch of the Wisconsin Gun Violence Prevention Coalition.

For over two years, we’ve worked closely with the nation’s leading gun violence prevention experts and organizations, aligning our efforts. That unity is already making waves. Wisconsin lawmakers have told us how powerful it is to hear from multiple organizations speaking with one clear voice. They’re paying attention—and it’s making our message stronger, louder, and harder to ignore.

Now, we’re asking you to stand with us. WAVE’s work to lead this statewide collaboration requires deep commitment and resources. Your donation today will help power this movement—supporting strategic advocacy and lasting change.  

This year, for the first time, there’s a way to recognize that shared commitment at a glance. We’ve introduced a unifying logo—one that reflects our collective strength, shared purpose, and statewide reach. When you see it, you’ll know you’re looking at a movement powered by collaboration, backed by deep expertise, and rooted in the belief that a safer Wisconsin is possible. 

WAVE’s leadership in this effort is about more than coordination—it’s about courage, persistence, and the unshakable belief that every life taken by gun violence matters. With your support, we can keep building something that lasts. Something bold. Something that makes Wisconsin safer.

In solidarity,

Nick Matuszewski (he/him)

Associate Executive Director
