The Wisconsin Alliance for Civic Trust is a cross-partisan network of Wisconsin residents. We promote trust in our political system, support for fair, safe, and secure elections, and peaceful engagement with our fellow Americans.
Founded in 2024 by former Gov. Scott McCallum and longtime Wisconsin journalist David D. Haynes in partnership with The Carter Center, WisACT is now managed by the Whitburn Center for Policy and Governance Research at the University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh. Gov. McCallum previously served as chair of the Whitburn Center's advisory board, while Mr. Haynes is a member of WisACT's Community Resilience Team and Outreach & Stories action team.
To learn about upcoming events, find recordings of our past monthly meetings, ask questions, and more, please visit the Whitburn Center or email us here:
WisACT represents a broad cross-section of Wisconsin, including working people, religious and business leaders, former elected officials, veterans and a wide range of civic organizations.
Promote peaceful resolution of disputes by equipping our members and Wisconsinites at large with the tools and skills necessary to engage constructively in conversations happening within their networks and communities.
Share accurate information, as well as encourage the fact-checking of information shared about our political process to help build trust in our elections.
