Use Your Voice

There are a few different ways in which we can use our voice; we can vote, we can share with our local or state representatives, we can send a letter to the editor, and we can even share our own stories with others through presentations, trainings and the media.

Below are links, information and contacts for local government and newspapers to share your thoughts. If you have been a victim of abuse and want to share your story we also have a speakers bureau that you can join, for more info on our speakers bureau you can contact us at 208.743.1535 or by email.

Register to Vote

Idaho & Washington residents may also register IN PERSON on the day of election.

Any registered Idaho voter may apply for an absentee ballot and vote by mail. Apply online or mail a letter to your county clerk requesting an absentee ballot.

Eligible citizens with a WA driver license or ID can register to vote online or in personal at the auditors office and by mail.
