[1]Women's March
John,
Following yesterday's infuriating, unjust acquittal of white supremacist
vigilante Kyle Rittenhouse, we wanted to make sure you saw this message
from Women's March Executive Director Rachel Carmona:

The truth is that white supremacy — and the vigilantism it enables — is a
threat to all of our communities.
From individuals like Rittenhouse, McMichael and the other killers of
Ahmaud Arbery to dangerous, regressive laws like Texas' S.B. 8, we are
seeing an alarming wave of far-right vigilantism and hate sweep across our
country. We're coming to you at this important moment to ask if you'll be
a part of our work to dismantle it.
The United Vision Project is a recent initiative that aims to shrink,
neutralize, and transform the grip of white supremacy in our country — and
we're hoping that you and as many people as possible will join our
upcoming open house to learn more about how you can get involved.
[ [link removed] ]There has never been a more important time to recommit to the task of
dismantling white supremacy and protecting ALL of our communities, so
please join us for this Open House on Monday, December 13 at 7:00 p.m. ET.

The United Vision Project (a.k.a. UVP) is an initiative, anchored by
United Vision for Idaho and Women's March, with partners that include data
scientists, communications specialists, and progressive racial justice
organizations.
It's an innovative, data-driven outreach program that speaks directly to
the perilous racial divide in our nation — after all, over 74 million
people still voted for Trump in 2020. There is a continued rising wave of
white nationalism in this country and around the world, and we (and
especially white folks) must work differently to confront and transform it
so we can shrink, neutralize, and transform the grip of white supremacy
and authoritarianism in our country.
UVP speaks directly to that divide in a bold, revolutionary way by
reaching out to people with conservative beliefs who may be sympathetic to
extreme nationalist movements and ideas.
With rigorous curiosity and radical hospitality, we have deep
conversations over text message and phone to better understand others'
points of view — and we'll be gathering the largest data set ever compiled
on this topic so we can understand and transform. The conversations may be
difficult, but they are an important step toward creating genuine change.
And we cannot change what we do not understand.
So, join us on Monday, December 13 to learn much more about this important
work, our partners and team, and how you can become a United Vision
Project texting and phone banking volunteer,
John. [ [link removed] ]Click here to reserve
