United Vision for Idaho

A multi-issue organization dedicated to building an inclusive and intersectional justice movement. Our state’s story holds lessons for the entire nation.

United Vision for Idaho (UVI) is a progressive, multi-issue network committed to advancing shared priorities that create tangible improvements in people's lives. Since 1997, our mission has been to build a strong, inclusive, and people-driven movement that leaves no one behind. From rural farmlands to urban centers, we strive to connect communities across divisions and regions, working together to

foster systemic change. UVI is a bulwark against regressive agendas, taking on the challenging work of uniting communities across cultural, social, and political divisions and connecting our work to state-level, national, and international efforts. Our work is designed to bridge ideological divides, foster dialogue and collaboration, to generate widespread engagement to strengthen our democratic systems and build a resilient, inclusive, just democracy that reflects the values, interests, and dignity of all people. The challenges we face in Idaho today will impact every American tomorrow—and tomorrow is here. UVI's Mission to Counter Extremism
Addressing Extremism at Its Roots
Recognizing the unique challenges faced by rural America, our work addresses the conditions that allow authoritarian ideologies to thrive, growing distrust and alienation from democratic governance, ideological division, economic hardship, personal struggle, social isolation and disinformation. UVI’s rural strategy tackles these root causes directly, seeking to re-engage communities often distrustful of democratic processes. Today, a growing number of Americans across the political spectrum feel politically homeless. A majority of Americans believe that structural reforms are needed to address various levels of corruption and strengthen democratic systems. Moving from Vision to Action, we advocate a bold agenda, not a list of policies the establishment says we can win, but what the people of Idaho and this country must win! We are building power for a new multi-racial, working class movement to win real improvements in people’s lives and center Idaho in the larger fights that make that truly possible.

Have you felt alienated from people you love — your family, friends, neighbors, co-workers — because of political division?
Have you avoided conversations, distanced yourself from people you care about, or even cut people out of your life because it felt impossible to bridge the divide?

Have you watched relationships strain and communities grow more disconnected, distrustful, and fractured?
You are not alone. Millions of people across the United States are feeling the exact same thing.

For more than five years, United Vision for Idaho has been working to address this growing crisis through the UNITED VISION PROJECT www.unitedvisionproject (dot) org— a national training program connecting people across political, geographic, and social divides through real conversation, human connection, and sustained engagement.

Because the truth is: societies do not simply collapse or heal on their own. They break apart — or rebuild — through each of us. Through the relationships we maintain. Through our willingness to listen. Through our ability to stay connected even when difference feels overwhelming.

Through our Democracy 411 series, UVI creates opportunities for people to come together in conversation, reflection, learning, and community at a time when so many Americans are searching for meaning, belonging, and hope.

Join us on May 26 at 7pm at The Flicks for a special screening of MY OMAHA — a powerful film exploring family, identity, economic struggle, and the divisions shaping life in America today followed by a Q & A.

Excited to share this piece published today in Nonprofit Quarterly. Thanks for taking a look.

Why have rural communities become so deeply disconnected from the civic institutions meant to serve them, and how can repairing relationships help?
