Idaho Day of Visibility
Hey Idaho, let’s be visible! Grab a friend and head out to busy intersections and along roadways across Ada County. Proudly hold/wave American flags and homemade Harris/Walz signs to show that we’re all fired up and ready to vote for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz! Let’s make sure everyone sees our enthusiasm across the county. Spend as much time as you want, but a couple hours during the commute will have the most bang for your buck. Do it safely and make us proud!
If you want to coordinate, check with your District Chair for an event near you or check out the organizers at Idaho Dems. You are also more than welcome to wave signs on your own and then come to a later event and tell us about it.
