THE BIG SHARE

On Tuesday, March 3, the Wisconsin Women’s Network is participating in The Big Share—a 36-hour online giving event hosted by the Community Shares of Wisconsin where community members come together to support local nonprofits advancing social justice causes. The Big Share is one of our most important fundraising efforts of the year, raising critical funds for our programs that strengthen women’s leadership and civic engagement across Wisconsin. Through programs like our Policy Institute, Mentorship Program, and community-building events, women gain the tools, confidence, and connections to lead and advocate for lasting change. Join WWN during The Big Share 2026, and give today to build tomorrow’s leaders!

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.

 

Women’s Equality Day

Women's Equality Day is observed annually to commemorate the passage of the 19th Amendment, guaranteeing some women the constitutional right to vote. More than a century later, 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—faced by many Wisconsinites due to 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 Wisconsin’s women and girls.

Our 2025 Women’s Equality Day event took place on August 28 at the Goodman Community Center in Madison. Learn more about the event here!
