Idaho 50501 Speaker Guidelines

For Invited Guests and Rally Participants

Thank you for lending your voice to this movement. Whether you’re sharing a personal story, offering policy insight, or rallying a crowd—your words help shape a vision of justice, solidarity, and collective power.

To make the most of everyone’s time and keep our events impactful, we ask all speakers to observe the following:

Please Keep Your Remarks Within 600 Words

To ensure every speaker has a chance to be heard and the program stays focused, we ask that your prepared remarks be approximately 600 words or fewer.

This word count typically translates to about 4–5 minutes when spoken aloud. We encourage you to draft and rehearse your message to fit this guideline for maximum impact and clarity.

A timekeeper will monitor presentations and may gently remind you if your remarks are running long.

The Deadline is important

We have a deadline that we will give you for speeches. This enables us to ensure your speech is near the word count and it allows us to review them to avoid inappropriate content.

We also give speeches to ASL interpreters in preparation for them to serve our hearing impaired community.

Stay Connected to the Theme

Each gathering has a specific purpose—whether it’s protecting voting rights, defending bodily autonomy, addressing food insecurity, or confronting anti-democratic policies.

We ask that your remarks speak to the moment at hand.
Personal stories and political analysis are welcome when they connect meaningfully to the rally’s focus.

Speak with Purpose and Respect

Idaho 50501 believes in challenging injustice—not attacking individuals.
We ask that all remarks avoid personal insults, hate speech, or language targeting race, gender, sexuality, religion, or ability.

We welcome righteous anger. But we don’t platform dehumanization.

Let’s speak truth to power in a way that strengthens community and builds shared vision.

We’re All Part of the Bigger Picture

Your voice is a vital part of this movement. When we speak clearly, passionately, and respectfully, we help shift what’s possible—both for those in the crowd and for those watching from afar.

We’re honored to have you with us. Thank you for showing up with care and intention.
