About United Vision Project

The United Vision Project (UVP) is a program of United Vision for Idaho committed to building

a multiracial democracy rooted in justice, equity, and deep connection. Through mass texting and

person-to-person outreach, we connect people across extreme political differences, creating a

powerful exchange that offers a rare opportunity for people to engage in authentic dialog,

humanize one another, discover the underlying causes of authoritarian drift, identify shared

struggles, uplift shared values and deescalate political division. Our training program equips

volunteers for relationship-centered digital organizing, fostering both skill development and

practice that fosters powerful transformation that can transition into community engagement and

a deep sense of purpose. We are building a movement to engage across divides, resist

authoritarianism, and envision a better future—together.
