During the 1970s and 1980s, there was an increasing focus by Dominican Sisters of Sinsinawa on the root causes of injustice. In 1982, the Sisters called for coordination of peace and justice efforts at the congregation level. In 1983, the Office of Peace and Justice was established and a Promoter of Peace & Justice was named.

Founded in 1995, the Wisconsin Democracy Campaign is a nonprofit, nonpartisan watchdog group dedicated to clean government, where people matter more than money. We track money in politics on our unique public database. We write about issues of money and politics on our website. And we advocate for campaign finance reform and other policies that will make real the promise of democracy.
