Leaders Igniting Transformation (LIT) is a Black and Brown-led independent nonprofit. Founded in 2017, LIT organizes young people to build independent political power for social, racial, and economic justice. We engage in values-based issues and electoral organizing, direct action, public policy advocacy, and leadership development.

Born of Justin Vernon of Bon Iver's love for his home state FOR WISCONSIN strives to remind us of our greater connections, to show us what’s at stake when we talk about voting. FOR WISCONSIN mixes creativity in all its forms—music, writing, art and conversation to offer an open voice for the people of Wisconsin, so we can visit our neighbors, hear what each other thinks, and then move forward together. It’s up to all of us to lead Wisconsin where it goes next.

Souls to the Polls Wisconsin is a non-profit organization. We believe that voting is our collective power––a tool we can use to build stronger, safer, and more supportive communities. Since our founding in 2013, we have united Milwaukee faith leaders and their congregations to strengthen the voting power of the Black community. Since then, we have built relationships across the state, expanding the bloc beyond Milwaukee.

We know a strong voting bloc is key to pressing state and local leaders on issues such as affordable housing, education, economic development, gun violence, and governmental transparency. Together, we are building a bloc of engaged community members in our mission to channel our faith and bring 100,000 Souls to the Polls. Our votes matter.
