EVERYONE HAS A PLACE
And everyone has a role. Together we are advocating for the change we need and working to make the things we care about real.
What We Fight For
DEMOCRACY
HEALTHCARE FOR ALL
HEALTHCARE FOR ALL
This project has placed Idaho at the center for the most important work in front of all of us – preserving 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.
HEALTHCARE FOR ALL
HEALTHCARE FOR ALL
HEALTHCARE FOR ALL
We face continuing challenges that would undermine the health and well being of millions of Americans through the Affordable Care Act. We work nationally and at the state level to advance Medicare for ALL and a system that puts people before the interests of insurance companies.
CARING ECONOMY
HEALTHCARE FOR ALL
FAMILY ECONOMIC SECURITY
We need a financial system that works for people and communities, not the other way around. Our economy is about more than numbers. It’s about people.
UVI has worked to protect CHIP, Pass Family Leave and championed legislation to ensure Pay Equity and Collective Bargaining for Idaho workers. For six years, we have with our labor partners championed a bill to raise Idaho's minimum wage.
FAMILY ECONOMIC SECURITY
FAMILY ECONOMIC SECURITY
FAMILY ECONOMIC SECURITY
All families should have what we need to thrive. Instead, our society is becoming more and more unequal. It’s time to rebalance and prioritize our public budgets.
UVI has always been a fierce advocate for state and national budgets that prioritize people and families. and stop the efforts that are leading to the largest wealth gap in our country's history.
THE SOCIAL CONTRACT
FAMILY ECONOMIC SECURITY
THE SOCIAL CONTRACT
We must protect and improve the economic security of disadvantaged and at-risk populations. We fight to protect Medicare and Medicaid, and advocate for fair taxes to support public services. American’s health should not be at the mercy of the big health insurance companies.
ECONOMIC JUSTICE
FAMILY ECONOMIC SECURITY
THE SOCIAL CONTRACT
We must work to dismantle efforts to undermine economic justice by awarding our tax dollars to billionaires and millionaires increasing their profits, while our wages stagnate and more of us have to borrow to make ends meet.
We’re fighting to keep students from having to mortgage their futures for a college education. Debt-free higher education — including immediate debt relief — must be part of our education promise.
DECRIMINALIZATION
DECRIMINALIZATION
DECRIMINALIZATION
Our criminal justice system relegates one-third of Black men to prison. Racism is deeply entrenched in our criminal justice system and the rates of incarceration of people of color reflect the blatant discrimination in enforcement and our courts.
We can replace the criminal justice and immigration systems we have now with investments in people and communities, alternatives to incarceration, and family unity instead of mass deportations and detention.
CLIMATE JUSTICE
DECRIMINALIZATION
DECRIMINALIZATION
This crisis is the product of an economic and political system that now stands as the only nation on Earth that formally refuses to put people and planet first.
UVI was proud to be the fiscal sponsor of Idaho residents who have been fighting to protect farmlands and homesteads, who continue to make great strides. We are devout in making sure the climate crisis is a priority in our state and nation.
HOUSING JUSTICE
DECRIMINALIZATION
BUILDING A BIGGER "WE"
Today, a full-time worker earning minimum wage cannot afford a two-bedroom apartment in any county—urban, suburban, or rural—in the United States. Everyone living in the United States should have safe, accessible, sustainable, and permanently affordable housing: a Home’s Guarantee.
Over 3 million families and individuals are experiencing homelessness. Millions more live one medical bill, flat tire, or other life event away from homelessness.
BUILDING A BIGGER "WE"
BUILDING A BIGGER "WE"
BUILDING A BIGGER "WE"
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.

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.
