UVI Programs: Strengthening Democracy from the Ground Up
UVI’s work spans interconnected areas that together grow vibrant, resilient civic ecosystems—locally, nationally, and globally. As a leader in the pro-democracy movement, we develop scalable models, mobilize cross-regional networks, and shape national discourse.
Block, Bridge, Build
Our core framework to dismantle hate and strengthen democracy. Through Authentic Relational Organizing (ARO), we disrupt bias, disinformation, and extremism—while fostering civic resilience, empathy, and shared values across difference.
Strategic Rural Organizing
A nationally recognized model building grassroots leadership in communities most impacted by neglect and polarization. We center local voice while scaling civic power across Idaho, the U.S., and internationally.
Community Outreach & Civic Engagement
We foster deep, trust-based relationships that strengthen social cohesion and unlock collective action. Through ongoing outreach and dynamic civic education, we create long-term capacity for democratic participation.
Training Hub for Civic Leadership
Offering hands-on training, real-time organizing practice, and leadership development, our hub equips people to lead where they live—building skills for lasting impact and democratic renewal.
Ground Up Innovations
From bold outreach to cutting-edge research, we co-create strategies to shape democracy’s future. Our scalable, people-powered innovations energize the broader movement for democracy.

Reaching the 51% we need for a democratic future means engaging the 20% living in rural America. People-powered movements have always changed history—and they can again.
“I’ve learned that being right isn’t as important as being connected… This program transformed how I show up—in politics, family, and community.”
—UVP Volunteer
“The only comparable effort may be Adorno’s study of authoritarianism after the Spanish Civil War.”

This is more than a movement—it’s a transformation.

As fundamental pillars of our democracy are being tested - freedom of the press is under attack which pose a grave threat to our democracy. It is more important than ever before that individuals are taking part in the story of how we are navigating these moments, showing up and standing up to determine the future that is still being written.
When activists and leaders of the pro-democracy movement say, "Join the Movement" what does that mean. This documentary is both a rare inside look at the pro-democracy movement and a story that cannot be told without millions of regular people taking action in all the small and big ways that we are. It is essential for people to see themselves in the story, to find inspiration and courage from one another and this is a unique opportunity to contribute to telling it.
"Storytelling through the lens of the people has never been more vital. This is your opportunity to tell the real story—to share your stories of hope, of action, of momentum. Real change begins when many voices rise together. A story of action needs to be told by those shaping the future—by people making real change happen in the places they call home. This is our story: a living, unfolding narrative, woven together with the stories of people around the world. A story that needs to be told." – Steph Cullen
Together we are creating space for people to see themselves as essential to the future of democracy—and, by extension, to the conditions that shape health, safety, and wellbeing in their communities.
Since late 2022, UVI has partnered with OMGFemaleFilmmakers to document a growing pro-democracy movement through a participatory documentary series. The project invites people across the country to contribute their own stories, footage, and everyday acts of resistance and renewal—recognizing that collective wellbeing depends on whether people feel seen, included, and empowered to act.
This effort is both a reflection of what’s happening and a call to action to share your stories to help build a people-powered narrative that honors courage, creativity, and care in a story that is unfolding and a future and history that is being written one conversation, one act and one action at a time.
The invitation is simple and urgent: share your story, submit your footage, and be part of shaping what comes next. Visit this link to learn more + submit your story.

This is a time when our freedoms, rights, and our democracy itself are being tested, your support helps us do what matters most: organize people, build deep relationships across differences, and lead with the conviction that no one gets left behind.
Every dollar you give is an investment in connection over division, people over profit, and action over apathy. It helps train local leaders, sustain vital organizing efforts, and amplify the voices of those too often ignored.
