Our Mission
We build power together to create the change we need for everyone in our communities to make ends meet, live with dignity, and have a voice in shaping the decisions that impact us.
About Us
We are an organization of ordinary people, of all ages and walks of life, who have come together to tackle issues impacting our families, homes, and communities.
We started organizing together back in 2019 when seven neighbors gathered around a kitchen table on a farm in Pierce County. Since then, we’ve grown in our ranks and scope across Barron, Buffalo, Dunn, Pepin, Pierce, Polk, and St. Croix in western Wisconsin.
At the heart of our mission is the belief that we all have the power to make a difference when we get organized and step into the public arena.
Through community-led, issue campaigns, we are advancing a long-term agenda to tackle structural barriers that hold us back and creating a future where everyone can lead their best life, have a roof over their head, a meal on the table, and a job that can support a family.
Our Values Drive Us
COMMUNITY. POWER. STEWARDSHIP. SOLIDARITY. LISTENING.
In 2023, the GROWW Community crafted and ratified the first semi-annual statement of our Values, Vision, and Platform to guide the work we do together and articulate the future we’re fighting for.
