The Biden-Harris administration made historic climate and infrastructure investments as part of the most transformative economic agenda since FDR. The Inflation Reduction Act, American Rescue Plan, Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, and more are game-changing investments for communities in Wisconsin, especially those that have been historically left behind. Funds allocated through this legislation have contributed to improved infrastructure and investments in your neighborhood, thousands of new good-paying union jobs, opportunities to save on prescription drugs and your energy bill, and much more. However, there is now political uncertainty about the long-term viability of these programs and investments.
In addition to our work connecting Wisconsinites with benefits, we will also be working to defend these programs and the progress we’ve made in reducing carbon emissions and advancing climate justice.
Forward Together Wisconsin (FTW) ia working to ensure that public funds are invested equitably in communities fighting the climate crisis and strengthening public institutions. Not only do we seek to promote the positive impacts of these investments, we will also help make these stories a reality for Wisconsinites by directly connecting and providing assistance to communities to enroll in these programs. We’re particularly focused on reaching out to people who have been disproportionately harmed by the climate crisis, including communities of color, working class families and low-income families, Tribal communities, and rural communities.
We are a 501(c)(3) organization operating exclusively for charitable and educational purposes including, but not limited to, conducting research on federal investments in Wisconsin, educating the general public on accessing said investments, and assisting the general public with technical and financial needs to access the federal funds.
