A Letter from Us to You: We Keep Going
If there’s one thing we know, it’s that the people in power are counting on us to lose hope. They want us to believe that nothing we do matters, that their harmful legislation will pass without resistance, and that we’ll take it lying down. But we can’t, and won’t. We only lose when we give up—and we’re not going anywhere.
This movement has never been about quick victories; it has always been about showing up, doing the work, and bringing people together. We aren’t just fighting back—we’re in the business of building something bigger. Right now, we’re focused on real, tangible, grassroots change. That means things like feeding our food-insecure neighbors, showing up in solidarity and protest with local organizations, testifying in the Capitol, loudly calling out injustice where we see it, and, most importantly, creating a stronger, more unified community—a community that is impossible to ignore. But, we continue to need your help.
The road ahead won’t be easy, that’s been made clear. But every protest, every call, every meal shared, every connection made—it ALL matters. Do NOT become convinced that it does not. We are a formidable force, and we are only getting stronger. So, keep going. Stay angry, and stay busy. Keep fighting, and keep showing up - day after day, after day. We have a hand in shaping Idaho’s future: one of equity, transparency, and proper prioritization of the people.
Thank you for your hard work, hope, and continued support of the Idaho Young Democrats. Our gratitude is immeasurable. Know that we are in your corner.
Respectfully and with affection,
Madeline Horak
Communications Chair
On behalf of the Idaho Young Democrats
