About Advancing Wisconsin

Advancing Wisconsin (AW) was founded in 2008 and serves as the direct
voter contact organization at the America Votes table and is a
clearinghouse for statewide field organizing activities. AW designs
and conducts statewide contact programs to ensure our state's
residents are educated on important public policy issues, the
positions of public officials on those issues and, in some instances,
electoral activities. AW also provides assistance to other
progressive organizations to carry out their own grassroots programs.
In 2010, AW executed 46 distinct programs around the state, one of the
most complex and comprehensive voter contact programs in the country.
AW achieved 1.3 million pre-GOTV and 1.7 million GOTV voter contact
attempts, and collected 3.5 million pieces of data that will inform
future programming for AW and our progressive partners.
