[1]Women's March
One year ago we witnessed the violent and deadly attack on our Capitol and
watched in horror as the Confederate flag was waved through the halls of
Congress. We’ve heard elected officials and political figures condemn this
event, but it’s not enough to just speak out, we as Women’s Marchers must
do more. Since January 6, 2021, we’ve seen a disturbing rise and
reorganization locally and nationally of white nationalism – and it isn’t
slowing down.
John, we know
dismantling white supremacy seems like a daunting task. We know it’s
easier to wag your finger at people with conservative beliefs and write
them off. We also know those being recruited into white nationalism are
many of our neighbors, family members, and friends. If we don’t try to
speak with each other, we will never be able to shrink, neutralize, and
transform the grip of white supremacy and authoritarianism in our country.
That’s why we’re inviting you to join our United Vision Project Open
House. Women's Marchers from across the country will come together
virtually to learn about our texting and phone banking efforts to utilize
relational organizing methods to combat white nationalism. In the last
five months, volunteer leaders have sent 265,151 texts to date in Idaho,
North Carolina and Georgia alone. Your support will have a massive impact
as we continue to engage with this critical program.

The best way to learn more about the United Vision Project is to attend
our virtual Open House. But until then, here’s a bit more about this
revolutionary program.
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.
Through text messaging and phone calls, we’re having deep conversations
with people who hold conservative beliefs and may be sympathetic to
extreme nationalist movements and ideas. With your help, we’ll be able to
translate these conversations into meaningful data that will drive our
efforts to shrink, neutralize, and transform the grip of white supremacy
and authoritarianism in our country.
These conversations may be difficult, but trying to understand others’
points of view is key to creating lasting change. When progressive
movements fail to facilitate intentional conversation and meet people
where they’re at, the consequences are deadly. That’s why Women’s March is
forging a new path forward – because we know we cannot change what we do
not understand.
We would love for you to join us on Monday, January 10th 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.
