Brat Fest is happening this weekend, and we’d love to see you there! 🌭💜

Whether you're working a volunteer shift or not, join fellow Wisconsin Women’s Network supporters for lunch around 1:00 PM tomorrow (Saturday, May 23) at Brat Fest. We’ll be gathering at the picnic tables by the brat tents to connect over lunch and beverages!

As we reflect on this year’s WWN Policy Institute experience, we’re excited to look back at Retreat 2, a weekend focused on advocacy, leadership, and collaboration. Cohort 12 continued building the skills and confidence needed to advocate for meaningful change across Wisconsin.

A huge thank you to our incredible speakers and facilitators who shared their expertise throughout the weekend:
• Sarah Barry — Effective meetings with legislators
• Gwyn Guenther — Preparing for policy discussions and public questions
• Bianca Shaw — Building collective power through advocacy
• Lynnsey Erickson — Equitable policy analysis
• Sarah Hoye and Katie Grant — Elevating your voice and communicating effectively as an advocate

Throughout the retreat, participants delivered elevator speeches on their policy projects, built connections through speed networking, collaborated in teams, and prepared for legislative visits. Their passion, curiosity, and commitment to learning continued to shine throughout the weekend.

And a special shoutout to The Great Dane Pub & Brewing Company for hosting our Friday evening social gathering. It was a wonderful opportunity to connect, reflect, and continue building community outside of the retreat sessions.

We’re so proud of all that Cohort 12 accomplished during Retreat 2! 💜

We’re thrilled to share that WWN is once again a volunteer partner for this year’s World's Largest Brat Fest in Madison—and we'd be so grateful to have your support! 🎉

We're aiming to cover 100 hours of volunteer work, but there's no cap! For every hour our volunteers work, the WWN receives $12. So, if we meet our goal, we’ll raise over $1,000.

Sign up today at the link below! You'll create a quick account and sign up for your shifts individually, and don't forget to indicate that you're with the Wisconsin Women’s Network. 💜

We recommend grabbing a Saturday morning shift (5/23). After your shift, we'll plan to gather at the picnic tables around 1:00pm on Saturday to connect with fellow WWN volunteers over beverages and lunch.

Can’t make Saturday morning? No problem! You can still support WWN by signing up for a shift at any time that works for you throughout the weekend. We'll also have volunteers helping out on Friday evening.
