THE BIG SHARE

Each March, the Wisconsin Women’s Network participates in the The Big Share - an online day of giving hosted by the Community Shares of Wisconsin where generous community members come together to invest in causes that are important to them. In 2024, we celebrated the 10th anniversary of The Big Share and raised over $6,000 in just one day that will go toward training, mentoring, and connecting women throughout the state. Thank you to all who joined us for The Big Share 2024!

Feminism on Tap

Feminism on Tap is a recurring casual gathering hosted by Wisconsin Women's Network. These events are a great chance for social and gender justice advocates and other community members to network, develop ideas for collaboration, and discuss local efforts to advance the status of women and girls in Wisconsin.

The next Feminism on Tap will be in May. Stay tuned via email and Facebook for updates! 

 

artful women

In 2023, Artful Women celebrated 37 years of providing a venue for talented women artists to exhibit their work. The juried art show and sale coordinated by fantastic volunteers benefits the Wisconsin Women’s Network.

Women’s Equality Day

A century after gaining the right to vote, women continue to experience voter inequalities due to disenfranchisement, barriers to access the polls, and restrictive voter ID laws. The Wisconsin Women’s Network recognizes Women’s Equality Day, in order to bring awareness to the inequalities (at the polls and beyond) that so many women experience because of their gender, race, ethnicity, age, religion, sexuality, ability, identity, and socioeconomic status.

Our Women's Equality Day event serves as a fundraiser to sustain the Wisconsin Women’s Network and our work to advance the status of women and girls in Wisconsin. We hope you will join us at this year’s celebration in August to hear from inspiring women from across our great state! Join our email list for future Women’s Equality Day announcements.
