Values Communication Project
In partnership with Wisconsin Voices, Citizen Action of Wisconsin Education Fund launched in 2011 a values communication project designed to improve the short and long term effectiveness of non-profit communication. The project provides training and message support to help non-profits highlight core values in their communications which are needed to support their long term objectives.
Working in partnership with the Wisconsin Council on Children and Families, Center on Wisconsin Strategy (COWS), and Institute for Wisconsin’s Future, the project resulted in the creation of the Wisconsin Values Budget. This alternative state budget is supported by 35 non-profits and shows that the budget can be balanced without making slashing cuts to education, heath care, and state and local services if the wealthy and large corporations pay their fair share.

got
healthcare? Campaign
Citizen
Action of Wisconsin Education Fund has developed a national reputation as one
of the leading state-based groups promoting comprehensive health care reform.
Our signature got healthcare?
campaign has in recent years won major national awards from Families USA, the
Progressive States Network, and the Ballot
Initiatives Strategy
Center.
Citizen Action of Wisconsin Education Fund’s leadership and
stakeholders are deeply committed to the proposition that access to quality
affordable health care is a fundamental right which ought to be guaranteed to
everyone in America. We also believe that health care reform is a
keystone progressive issue that is capable of shifting public attitudes towards
the role of democracy in restraining predatory competition in American
society. The success of comprehensive
health care reform will both address a fundamental wrong in American society
and open new space for other fundamental progressive reforms, while its failure
could foreclose these possibilities.

Economic Development Project
The project was launched in 2003 as a coalition of Milwaukee community-based organizations, including organizations representing the African American, Latino, faith-based, fair housing, environmental, and labor communities. Good Jobs & Livable Neighborhoods was a separate 501(c)(3) organization until 2009, when it merged with Citizen Action of Wisconsin Education Fund.
The most notable victory of the project was the passage of the MORE Ordinance in the City of Milwaukee, which applied wage and community benefit standards to all major city development projects.
