Who we are
We organize all year. Not just when there’s an election.
Badger Youth Action is a statewide 501(c)(4) initiative ensuring that young people, especially BIPOC, rural, immigrant, and working-class youth historically excluded from power, are at the center of shaping Wisconsin’s political future.
We build social connection and shared identity, then back young people with the platform and resources to organize around everyday life, security, dignity, and joy.
