Their focus is on issues not political parties through grassroots organizing. There is strong support for their ballot initiative the Quality Education Act.
"It's Time to Vote for Quality Education"
-Idaho ranks dead last of 50 states in funding for K-12 education. We're facing a crisis-level teacher shortage with teacher pay near the lowest in the nation. School districts are cutting traditional Idaho programs in welding, carpentry, and ag science.
-This November, voters will likely have a chance to vote for the Quality Education Act, a citizen initiative that would boost pay for teachers and invest in strong K-12 programs.
-The Quality Education Act is paid for without a penny of new taxes for any individual making under $250,000 or any married couple making under $500,000.

Lunch will be served. Members $20, Non-members $25, Gallery Seating $5.  RSVP for lunch no later than May 15th. Click the Live Event button to reserve your spot now!
