Working with United Vision for Idaho

United Vision for Idaho is a coalition consisting of more than twenty nonprofit organizations. Together with our partners, affiliates and individual members it is our mission is to transform the political landscape of Idaho by promoting education and understanding of public policy which allows every person to live with dignity and security in a healthy environment; by building relationships and open communication at the community level; by promoting public dialogue on the common values of the coalition; and by working to empower participation in democracy. We believe that far more unites than divides us and through collaborative grassroots work, we can change public policy, dismantle oppression, and enhance the equality, dignity, and power of all people.

Why We Do What We Do:

We believe that we must all work together

To advance the station of all people, To provide opportunities where few or none existed,To ensure that no one gets left behind and that all people have access to the tools and resources they need to enhance their own lives, that of their families,their communities, state and world. 

We do this work because we believe

That a world of equal opportunity, free from discrimination and barriers is a world where we can all flourish.  We do this work because even though the challenges sometimes seem insurmountable we'd rather spend the whole of our lives trying to help us all get there together than live a life resigned to the notion that better isn't possible.

But it will take all of us to achieve that promise.

So we come together as nonprofits, business owners, musicians, artists, citizens activists, and advocates. We come together as people committed to building a better future for our children's, our children, our parents, and grandparents, our family, friends and neighbors, for all people.

By our actions, by showing up, speaking up, and taking part, we create the slow and steady drip

that never leaves any rock unchanged!
