We cannot allow fringe voices to dictate policy for entire communities. Let's remind our city and state leaders that Idahoans value fairness and local control — and that we believe in protections for *all* Idahoans!

Tierra Walker should still be alive today.

Abortion bans are cruel and deadly, and "exceptions" don't keep people safe.

NEW: ProPublica has found multiple cases of women with underlying health conditions who died when they couldn’t access abortions.

Tierra Walker, a 37-year-old mother, was told by doctors there was no emergency before preeclampsia killed her.

I committed to funding Planned Parenthood in Washington state after a cruel attack on reproductive rights from the MAGA Congress and Donald Trump.

While we have a challenging budget, we are upholding our values and ensuring that women can access critical health care.

From refusing to spend funds on abortion prosecutions after the fall of Roe to proudly flying the Pride flag as an official flag of the city of Boise, Boise has been a beacon for many Idahoans. (1/3) #IDPol
Keep Boise Progressive. Boise leads the state in using local power to push back on extremism and defend all of its residents: Boise passes resolution to minimize the impact of Idaho abortion ban. Backed by crowd of supporters, Boise City Council gives Pride flag official recognition. On Nov. 4, use your vote to elect local leaders who will keep Boise a beacon for reproductive and LGBTQ+ rights!
