About Us ::

WHO: WiseUp!America promotes the participation of women in the issues that most influence their lives, their families and communities: decisions about educational or economic programs, consumer protection, housing, health care, social security and public safety; and well as individual rights and civil liberties. We, women, are an essential force in protecting our families and communities and in determining what is in our best interest.
WHAT: WiseUp!America is women united to serve, assist and encourage others in our communities to engage in meaningful participation in decisions that affect the quality of life. WiseUp!America was created to provide sources of information to help us take more meaningful steps to improve our lives.
WHERE: WiseUp!America started in Brooklyn, New York, but our message is for everyone, everywhere in this nation. It is in the interests of our families and communities to know the effects of national policies and decisions on our local programs and services.
WHEN: Immediately
WHY: WiseUp!America knows that informed participation strengthens our community and family. We aim to WiseUp! America.
