A NEW, REVOLUTIONARY MODEL:
Our country is deeply divided. Only fifteen percent of Americans think our democracy is working or working very well. What won’t unite us as a country is to abandon areas of the country to the extremist far right. Rising White Nationalist ideology and disinformation presents an existential threat to our democracy and our collective liberation.
By joining this project, you will be part of a select group doing some of the most important political work in the country. We must step into the breach and have difficult and respectful conversations to really understand what is a root of our growing division.
This is something that never has been done, but is critically important work.
Texter Testimonials:
"This project has given me hope that there is a path to healing our divide, to finding common ground, and to bringing civility back to our discourse. It has provided me a way to channel my energy into something that can make a real difference."
"This program has given me the opportunity to get beyond the disbelief and anger built up over the last 4 years (and more) by finding the courage to be empathetic while reaching out to the Far Right. It’s frightening to me to think we could be heading towards an increasingly 'white supremacist’ society so I am motivated to do my part in the protection of our democracy."
"To me this project is critical. We are all interconnected. This project will help us understand how we became so disconnected so that we can become connected again."
***DISCLAIMER***
If you identify as Black, Indigenous, or a Person of Color we just want to let you know that you do NOT need to be the one that holds this space for white people. We welcome your help, but want to warn that the conversations you have will be triggering and we want to honor and center protecting yourself first.
For anyone who feels they do not have the desire or capacity for these types of conversations, that is 100% okay!
About US: Protecting and advocating for each other is at the heart of what we do. We are grateful to be in community with you ALL ! We will navigate this difficult time together, and if we do it well, we will become stronger because of it. More than ever before people are craving connection and community. We may never know another moment that holds such possibility for making meaning and shifting worldview, but we must act quickly and at scale to step into this space that is quickly being filled by extremist ideology, conspiracy theories and focused anti-government rhetoric that threatens the future of our democracy and the lives and wellbeing of this and future generations.

Description
United Vision for Idaho’s Code of Ethics
1. We believe it is the primary mission of social movements to enhance human wellbeing, and help meet the basic human needs of all people, with particular attention to the needs and empowerment of people who are vulnerable, oppressed, and living in poverty.
2. We must focus on individual wellbeing in a social context and the wellbeing of society. Fundamental attention must be paid to the factors and forces that create, contribute to, and perpetuate social problems.
3. We believe that social organizations are obliged to promote social justice and social change with and on behalf of individuals, families, groups, organizations, and communities without discrimination or regard for any religious or spiritual affiliation.
4. We must be sensitive to cultural and ethnic diversity and strive to end discrimination, oppression, poverty, and other forms of social injustice and we do this through a number of activities from direct action, community organizing, advocacy, social and political action, policy development and implementation, education, and research and evaluation.
5. We seek access for all people to the resources that enable them to enhance their capacity, address their own needs and that of their communities.
6. We also seek to promote the responsible, ethical organizations, communities, and other social institutions that address individual need and social problems.
7. Our work must be rooted in a set of fundamental values and the principles associated with them that stem from a human rights framework and are evidenced in our service, by our abiding commitment to social, economic and environmental justice, and the common good performed with dignity, integrity, competence and compassion.
