WakeUP Wake County is a non-profit, non-partisan advocacy organization that is dedicated to promoting good growth planning and sustainable, healthy communities in the Triangle region. Our mission is to educate both citizens and policymakers about how the region should plan for growth in order to ensure a higher quality of life for all residents. We focus on key areas such as transportation, land use, housing, and climate change, advocating for well-planned development that promotes vibrant, mixed-use, walkable communities.

We also prioritize diverse housing choices, transportation options, clean and adequate drinking water, improved air quality, and protected open spaces. Additionally, we work towards ensuring high-quality and diverse public schools that can accommodate student growth and achieve high academic achievement for all. WakeUP Wake County is the leading voice in the region that addresses these land use issues, including historic racial and socioeconomic inequities.

As a grassroots collective since 2006, we have been able to enact meaningful change in one of the fastest-growing regions in the United States. Support our mission by becoming a member or sponsor and join us in speaking up for a better tomorrow
