Our Work
Accountability
- Wyoming’s government isn’t always transparent or accessible to the people. Consequently, we use advocacy to support and guide them through the democratic process. We start at the grassroots level by educating, empowering, and mobilizing people to take action on the issues affecting them the most. Effective advocacy provides a platform to elevate and amplify the voices of all people, especially those most underrepresented, to be heard and genuinely considered by our elected officials when they are making decisions. By crafting and influencing public policy in the areas of our vision, we are committed to building a Wyoming that is socially, politically, and economically equitable to all Wyoming’s people.
- ESPC is proud to host our People’s Review LIVE to help Wyomingites across the state engage with our mission, Wyoming’s government, pressing current events, subject matter experts, and each other. Register for the upcoming People’s Review LIVE!

Advocacy
- SHAPE Wyoming with ESPC. A good government is transparent and accessible and relies on robust civic engagement. Through our SHAPE Wyoming grassroots lobbyist training, we help regular people learn how to navigate and effectively engage with elected officials on the issues they care about most. Attendees will learn how to share their stories, leverage their community power, and advocate for their issues.
- We are a proud member of the Healthy Wyoming Coalition. Healthier families mean stronger communities and a better Wyoming economy. Wyoming has always been a place where we take care of our friends and neighbors. Join our movement to provide health insurance to working families and strengthen Wyoming’s healthcare system by expanding Medicaid.
- Wyoming’s public employees keep our state running. The Wyoming Coalition for Healthy Retirement is dedicated to protecting our public employees' retirement benefits and ensuring retirees can thrive. Visit our website to learn more and sign up.

The Gender Lens Project
- The Gender Lens Project is designed to change our policy conversations and improve state-level decision-making by emphasizing the contributions of women in the Equality State’s economy and in our local communities. This project builds on ESPC’s capacity for policy analysis, statewide outreach and delivers original content, and sparks new conversations that highlight where women are – and are not – included in key conversations and policy in the Equality State.
