People First Wisconsin is a statewide self-advocacy organization run by and for people with disabilities. By joining together in groups, individuals with disabilities learn to speak up for themselves, share ideas and information and build friendships.
Land Acknowledgement
People First Wisconsin acknowledges and respects that the land and water of Wisconsin is the home of several generations of Indigeous People. It is the land of 12 Tribal Nations. The Potawatomi, Ho-Chunk, and Menominee were among the first people of this land. Indigenous people were repeatedly removed from their homeland, but they kept coming back and are still here. We give thanks for the use of this land.

These photos were taken at the People First Wisconsin Board Meeting in March 2024. The PFW staff, executive board, and members from across the state gathered for the meeting in Madison and then for Disability Advocacy Day. Executive Director Cindy Bentley and PFW Board President Ginger Beuk are photographed in front of members who joined virtually.
