United Vision for Idaho (UVI) is a multi-issue, progressive network committed to advancing our shared priorities to create real improvements in people's lives. Since 1997, UVI has been working to unify our communities through shared interests and collective action. Our mission is to build a strong and powerful people-driven movement that leaves no one out, spanning rural, suburban, and urban areas all across the country. We understand that single-issue efforts can only do so much when it comes to providing lasting and structural gains. That's why UVI is dedicated to supporting long-term investments that can create a broader social justice movement where rural places like Idaho play a critical role to truly transform our country to fulfill the promise of a democratic future for ours and future generations. We are dedicated to creating a strong foundation and providing the space for people to work together for our collective interests and empower each other to build the future that we all deserve.
We are a people's movement - Welcome!
Join UVI in building the power of unity and a new movement to meet this moment; one that delves deep into the heart of UVI's groundbreaking method of authentic relational conversations and organizing and redefines the fight to create a wave of change we all need for an inclusive, multi-racial, pluralistic and just democracy that delivers on a promise that has not been realized yet -One that will require everyone of us!
Together, we can make a difference. Together, we can change the world.
Since 1997, UVI has been working to build the infrastructure and relationships needed to champion our greatest collective struggles, centering Idaho in the social justice movement driven by masses of real people who demand better and are dedicated to community and the principle that we all do better when we all do better!
This project has placed Idaho at the center for the most important work pro-democracy work in front of all of us. While we fiercely advocate for our share values and policy priorities, the current reality in our state and many others like ours is that the rungs of power have been wrested from our people. Rather than a balanced system of governance, for many years we have had a trifecta government controlled by one political party. Today, even that imbalance pales in comparison to the influence of outside interests and anti-democratic actors who now serve in powerful positions at the state and local level. Equipped with readied legislation the slow and steady decline of civil liberties and hard fought rights the hands of a growing npreserving our democracy and holding it. Combining decades of relationship building with Covid-era organizing know-how the program’s expansion will provide next-level field resources, training and organizing conducted with a new spirit of collaboration that includes the partnership of dozens of national and local organizations. Put simply, we cannot win on all the priorities we need to thrive without a durable and healthy democracy.
No matter what we look like, where we live, or what our experiences have been - our futures are collectively bound. To mend our brokenness. heal our wounds and bridge our divisions to build a sustainable world we must be rooted in democratic practice. We have to be having authentic conversations across our division and across borders to create the world we need and the one we owe to future generations. It will take all of us!
At our core we’re all just human. This is a moment that we must stand with and for each other across our differences and against anything and against anyone who seeks to divide us.
Hard as it can be, moments of crisis can open up opportunities if we have the conviction, courage and drive to do better. The deep relational organizing that we developed has allowed us to do just that.
Democracy is a fundamental belief system that requires everyone's daily practice. All things left unattended erode, break and eventually fail - democracy is no different. The investments by those seeking to undo democratic institutions are mounting.
No person or organization alone is up to the challenges facing people-driven governance. It will require a new spirit of collaboration between local, state, national and international organizations dedicated to the collaborative work needed to build a democratic world for ours and future generations to come. It will require a UNITED VISION.

We all have to a part to play in this critical time. The antidote to fear is not despondency or self-isolation, not anger or blame. The antidote to fear is love and connection, even where these cannot be realized in physical presence. We are rooted in the values of interdependence, mutual solidarity, shared purpose and collective action. Because when we are all in for all of us, we can create the world each and every one of us needs to thrive.
Now is the time for us to unite across our differences and make policy choices that help every-day people. As a united force, we can demand our local, state and national governments do everything possible to protect everyone’s health, no exceptions.
Take action and be part of a revolutionary new movement moment!
