Boise’s Harrison Boulevard will look different this June. The beloved neighborhood tradition of flying Pride flags on the Harrison median is not possible this year. Idaho House Bill 561, passed by the Idaho State Legislature and signed by Governor Little in March 2026, severely restricts which flags can be flown on government property. This includes the lamp posts on Harrison.

A group of North End neighbors and community members is launching a very special project to provide Progress pride flags and yard signs to any resident in the North End who would like to show their PRIDE this June (and beyond!).

Everyone is invited to fly a Pride flag at their home or place of business any time of the year! Flying a Pride flag:

*shows support of our LGBTQ+ neighbors

*builds an inclusive & welcoming neighborhood

*is a symbol of our shared Boise values of heritage, welcome, and safety

*provides safety in numbers to others flying a flag

Funds raised will be used to purchase flags and yard signs, as well as to print flyers. The initial fundraiser goal of $1750 will be used to order 100 flags and 200 yard signs. Distribution will be done by a team of neighborhood and community volunteers through events and social media. Additional flags and yard signs will be ordered as funds come in and based on neighborhood need. Any funds remaining after the need is met will be distributed to local LGBTQ+ non-profit groups.

To volunteer, please message us!
