Progressive Idaho brings together forward-thinking voices from across the Gem State. We work to "connect the dots" and support left-leaning Idahoans. From Boise to Bonners Ferry, we're building a stronger community - one dot at a time.

Why "Connect the Dots"? All across Idaho, progressives are working to make communities better. Many feel isolated like they're the only ones pushing against the tide – "blue dots in a red state." But here's the thing: we're not as alone as we think. Nearly a third of Idaho voters lean left, yet we often act like we're just a tiny minority.

The challenge isn't that we're alone – it's that we are disconnected.

That's where Progressive Idaho comes in, we exist to "connect the dots."

  • Connect people working for change in their communities
  • Share stories of progressive organizing and action across Idaho
  • Highlight important local issues
  • Provide resources and information for left-leaning Idahoans
  • Create spaces for meaningful connection and conversation
