What does WAGL mean in UNCLASSIFIED

The purpose of WAGL is to promote research, education, and advocacy surrounding democratic participation by working with universities, nonprofit organizations, public sector institutions, businesses, and private citizens.

WAGL focuses on developing initiatives that address pressing issues of democracy and governance with a view toward fostering meaningful participation in the democratic process. This includes research projects to better understand voter engagement and opinion formation; educational campaigns focused on providing information about political topics; and support for organizations that are advocating for democratic reforms or increased accessibility in politics.

There are many ways you can get involved with WAGL. You can join one of our research teams as an educator or researcher; participate in one of our educational campaigns; volunteer your time at an organization we are supporting; or donate money to help fund our activities.

We receive funding from a variety of sources including universities, nonprofits, governments agencies, businesses, donors and private citizens who are passionate about increasing civic engagement through meaningful democratic participation.

Since its founding in 2018, WAGL has made significant strides towards advancing its mission. We have launched a successful online platform for citizens to obtain reliable information on political topics; conducted several research studies exploring effects of digital media use on electoral outcomes and spoken out against inequalities embedded into traditional voting systems. Additionally we have mobilized volunteers across multiple Countries to register voters through door-to-door outreach initiatives prior to national elections.
