Welcome to our page of blogs. We are currently training community leaders from around the state to blog at this site too. The vast distances we face in this state can partly be bridged by this shared conversation.

Our goal is to encourage informal, positive discussion that spurs people to connect with each other and to take united action to promote democracy, justice, equality and freedom. Idahoans have played an important role in the progressive movement in the US and we will continue to do so. Because Idaho is overlooked and dismissed by national pundits, the work of our local leaders is more resilient, creative and authentic. Join us!

After thinking about it over the weekend and watching the Sunday morning talking heads, I figured something else out about this criticism of organizers. The people making these comments are a part of the system we work against to make things more fair for everyone. Of course they wouldn't know who organizers are and what a vital role they play in our communities.

The Alaskan Governor also needs to read more about women's history in this country. It was the ORGANIZERS of the women's suffrage movement that got women the vote in the early part of the last century. So, if it wasn't for organizers, women would not have the right to vote, let alone HOLD PUBLIC OFFICE.

These comments only show their ignorance.
