Wisconsin · Self-Determination
On a fair ballot, Wisconsin closes on a majority to leave the union.
Wisconsin has no organized movement for self-determination yet. That is exactly what we are here to change.
Wisconsinadults in Wisconsin would back independence when the question is asked the way a ballot asks it: calm, binary, and peaceful. That's about 45% of the state.
Even the understated abstract poll counts 688,000 (15%). How we get this number →

Wisconsin standoutThe only question that matters
Wisconsin is already a nation in all but name.
If Wisconsin were already a self-governing nation, with its own border, its own money, its own defense, everything two hundred other nations control, and the vote in front of you was not whether to leave, but whether to join the United States on the terms it offers today, would you vote yes?
Cast your vote
Wisconsin wrote its own rules before Washington thought to ask. The Wisconsin Idea put the state's own people and its own universities in charge of the state's own problems, and Fighting Bob La Follette built a whole politics on the belief that Madison could govern Wisconsin better than anyone sitting farther away. That instinct never left. On a fair, ballot-worded question, about 45 percent of Wisconsin would vote to leave the union. That is roughly 2.1 million adults, close to half the state.
The 45 percent is the real number, and here is why. A ballot is binary and it is peaceful. It asks one calm question and offers two answers. It names no fight and no flag. Ask it that way instead of as an abstract poll and support climbs about 30 points, which puts Wisconsin at or near a majority. Wisconsin leaned Democratic in 2020, and the number holds anyway, because deciding how you are governed is not a red idea or a blue one.
What Wisconsin is missing is not the numbers. It is each other. We bring the playbook and the connections that the largest independence movement in the country has already built. We do not run your group and we do not touch your money. You build what Wisconsin's movement looks like, and we help you find the people already standing next to you.
