Conversation and Civic Action: Postcards
For August C.A.C.A. we will write postcards! We have 100 to complete by writing a short message and addressing the cards. I bought 100 stamps.
Here’s more information
Idaho Women Forward has once again partnered with Postcards to Swing States, and they’ve received 10,000 postcards to send to low propensity Virginia voters ahead of their critical election this November. These postcards will carry fact-based headlines designed to reach Democratic-leaning Virginians with truthful, persuasive messages—cutting through disinformation and highlighting just how harmful the current GOP agenda is for everyday Americans.
Here’s how it works
Postcards to Swing States provides the clear instructions, the postcards, a short message, and addresses.
We provide the people-power—and the stamps.
All postcards must be completed and mailed by August 15.
This is a free event!

Rise & Sign - Reproductive Rights Rally
Join Idahoans United for Women & Families for the official launch of the Reproductive Freedom & Privacy Act!

Unity In Blue
Democrats and like-minded unite in a park setting. FREE supplies to make rally signs.
Special program guests include Lauren Necochea, Idaho Democratic Party Chair, Kaylee Peterson, Congressional candidate, and James Wood, board member 50501.
Food and beverages available from La Baja Tacos and Big Squeeze Lemonade. You may also bring your own beverages.
This is a free event.
Picnic with the Party

No Kings, No Crowns
The next day of action is a combined Idaho Women Forward and 50501 Idaho event.
No kings, no crowns, just people.
Trump is not a king. We are not his subjects. And we will not sit quietly while he tries to rip our rights away.
Entertainment starts at 11:30 AM
Speeches start at 1:00 PM
More details on Facebook.
What is NO KINGS? It is a national day of action and mass mobilization in response to increasing authoritarian excesses and corruption from Trump and his allies. We’ve watched as they’ve cracked down on free speech, detained people for their political views, threatened to deport American citizens, and defied the courts. They've done this all while continuing to serve and enrich their billionaire allies.
IMPORTANT UPDATE for Saturday’s Rally
In light of evolving safety considerations, organizers have adjusted our recommended response if agitators are present.
Please DO NOT sit down. Instead:
Put your hands up and calmly back away.
If you hear a whistle, it means move away from the sound of the whistle.
The Safety Crew will have whistles and be clearly identifiable. Their role is to help de-escalate and guide the crowd safely.
Let’s stay united, peaceful, and grounded — together we are strong.
Please help spread the word and look out for one another.

Add The Words Idaho Evening of Radiance
We are congregating in the Linen Building at 6pm for a community evening. Join us for a powerful day of action and connection—and to show that LGBTQIA2S+ people have lived, worked, and led in Idaho for generations. Lawmakers can’t change that.
This day is about honoring our Queer elders who resisted, survived, and carried us to this moment.
It’s about our strength. We are not asking for permission. We are not asking for approval. Our lives and our community are stronger than their hate - and we will outlast them.
Note there is another, related event at Noon at the Capitol.
