Forwarding United Student Empowerment

Forwarding United Student Empowerment (FUSE) is a progressive political party at the University of Wisconsin-Madison built of undergraduate, graduate, professional, and special students. We believe that all students, no matter what amount of the population they make up, should have a voice in the decisions  made by our student government.  We are building a diverse political organization  through campus grass-roots organizing, education, coalition building and elections.

Issues & Campaigns

• Lower Tuition and get More Funding for Education
  We will actively lobby the University and the State on your behalf to stop the constant rise of tuition and decline of state funding for classes and benefits for students and TAs. Check out the referendum we helped pass.
• Responsible Segregated Fee Allocation
  Segregated fees are funds collected from students to support essential student services, out-of-classroom learning opportunities, and campus free speech. We pledge to defend your right to an honest, responsible system of supporting student services.
• Responsive and Accountable Representation
  We do not intend to waste your time playing politics. You have a right under state law to be a part of all decisions on campus, and will always listen to the voices of the students.
• Safe and Welcoming Campus
  Students often walk around unaware of the hate crimes, racial profiling, and sexual assaults that take place on this campus because the crimes are not publicized. Hate crimes, racial profiling and sexual assaults on campus affect us all. We will defend the right to live free from fear and will strengthen the processes for combating these crimes.
• Link student issues to local, state and national issues.
  It is in our tradition to work with local officials and ensure that the community is also our priority.
