We are working to promote and grow progressive politics in Wyoming through media & technology.
Who We Are
Wyoming Progress is becoming a 501(c)4 Social Welfare nonprofit. We know - the term is almost a dirty word in progressive politics due to the way these “dark money nonprofits” are used to funnel hundreds of millions of dollars of corporate money into campaigns nationally every year, often drowning out the voice of regular people. We are going to do things differently: we intend to use the broad flexibility of the 501(c)4 to build incredibly effective and sticky messaging aimed at boosting the voices of the people of Wyoming.
“A great democracy must be progressive or it will soon cease to be either great or democratic.”
— theodore roosevelt, Cheyenne Wyoming, 1910
What We Do
Our current project is called Flip Wyoming. Did you know that 60k votes could flip the state from red to blue? In any other place we would call that a tossup. But the story people tell about Wyoming is that this is the reddest of red states and always will be. We think we can change that. Because of our small population Wyoming voters are 5x more powerful than the average U.S. voter and 30x more powerful than a voter in California. We want to folks here to realize that their votes are crucial to what happens in the country and empower them to make a different choices. Will you help us Flip Wyoming?
