Voicing Our Values

Issue Advocacy

At the capitol, at the ballot box, or in the streets, our staff, interns, and volunteers are here to speak up about the issues they care about. After 1000s of conversations with young Montanans across the state, we’ve identified economic justice, the environment, and LGBTQ equality as the #1 issues. Plus, we’re also hitting the pavement for election reform and voter access–because if you can’t access the polls, you don’t have a voice.

Economic Justice

Our generation is #BrokeAF.

We envision a Montana in which affordable housing, higher education, and healthcare are accessible and attainable for all Montanans.

That’s why we’re advocating for:

  • Increased state funding for the Montana University System and scholarships
  • Affordable and safe rental housing
  • Accessible healthcare
Conservation

We envision a Montana in which our natural resources are accessible to all Montanans.

That’s why we’re advocating for:

  • Preserving our opportunities to recreate on Montana’s public lands
  • Solutions to mitigate the consequences of climate change
  • Expanding development of renewable energy sources
LGBTQ Equality

We envision a Montana in which all Montanans are able to work, live, and play in Montana free from discrimination.

That’s why we’re advocating for:

  • The addition of gender identity, gender expression, and sexual orientation to the Montana Human Rights Act.
  • Improvements to the Montana University System’s processes and procedures to ensure all students feel safe on college campuses.
  • A clear and transparent process with plenty of citizen engagement for judicial nominations and appointments.

 

Election Reform

We envision a Montana in which the act of voting is just and fair, as well as accessible and safe, for all qualified electors.

That’s why we’re advocating for:

  • Accessible Polling Locations
  • Online Voter Registration
  • Automatic Voter Registration
