Building Unity is a non-partisan multi-organizational project with the goal of building a well-organized united movement for peace, justice, sustainability, and democracy. We want to create opportunities for citizens and groups to collaborate and focus on common needs and aspirations.

 

Our aim is to resist the politics of division and insist on a politics of inclusion. We want to provide a framework for people to work together and challenge powerful elites who continue to divide us. We seek to create laws, policies, and institutions informed by fairness, compassion, and cooperation.

 

Building Unity recognizes that we must come together to address immediate threats to our security and well-being such as systemic racism, the climate crisis, income inequality, mass incarceration, environmental degradation, and a political system dominated by big money and special interests.

We are committed to work with all organizations that share our desire to care for the earth, meet basic needs, defend human rights, strengthen our democracy, and oppose all forms of violence. Organizations already committed include coalitions, congregations, networks as well as multi-issue and single-issue groups and organizations.

 

Join Building Unity and help us realize our common values of fairness, compassion, and cooperation.

There is strength in Unity!
Building Unity groups are sharing calendars, tool kits, action alerts, and other resources to build a united movement. Building Unity is not a new group trying to create a new network or umbrella group. Building Unity is a shared project to build a movement from the existing networks and organizations. 

Building Unity Gatherings (Now, virtual)
Building Unity Groups are working with groups around the state to create virtual gatherings that will serve as “town hall meetings” on important issues as well as networking opportunities to build the connections and relationships that are necessary to build a powerful movement of movements. 

Building Unity Tables (on hold for the pandemic)
Building Unity Groups are sharing tables at an array of events throughout the state, giving us an opportunity to share our unity building movement in all regions of Wisconsin.

Building Unity Activist Network
With Building Unity gatherings and tabling opportunities, we will strengthen, merge, and deepen relationships between activists both locally and around the state, enabling us to more easily share information, collaborate on projects, and maximize our collective power.

Building Unity Partners
Our Building Unity Partners are helping us create a united movement for peace, justice, sustainability, and democracy. We encourage all to support them as they have been and will continue to be foundational to the unity movement that we are building together.
