Advocacy in Action

SB 333, now Wisconsin Act 200

Bipartisan legislative leadership led to the passage of SB 333, now Wisconsin Act 200, a child protection law that passed unanimously and strengthened protections around educator sexual misconduct and student safety.

For Project Worth, this law represents what can happen when lived experience is taken seriously, patterns are named, and child protection becomes a shared responsibility.

This work is not finished. One law is not the finish line. It is proof that change is possible and a foundation for future reforms that help systems act sooner, communicate better, and prioritize prevention.

"Every time I thought about giving up, I thought about who this could help, and I knew it was worth it to keep going."
