Defend the Montana Supreme Court Rally

Defend the Montana Supreme Court Rally

Join Montanans from across the state at the Montana State Capitol flag plaza in Helena to DEFEND the Montana Supreme Court in Helena, MT on Friday, April 18th at 12pm

For decades, Montanans have elected our State Supreme Court Justices in non-partisan elections. This ensures that the Montana Supreme Court is independent from the partisan political pressure of the Executive and Legislative branches. Today, some politicians in the legislature are trying to play politics with the State Supreme Court – but we won't let that happen!

Transgender Day of Visibility Rally
Mar

Transgender Day of Visibility Rally

Join Catalyst Montana and the Free and Fair Coalition at the Montana State Capitol flag plaza for Trans Day of Visibility — a powerful gathering celebrating trans joy, resilience, and community.

This year’s focus: visibility around trans people fighting back against legislative attempts to erase us. In the 2025 legislative session alone, we’ve seen over 20 bills aimed at attacking our access to gender-affirming care, removing essential social services and stripping away our rights. But we are here, we are strong, and we will not be silenced.

The event will feature a variety of speakers and activities for folks to get involved, build solidarity, and make our voices heard!

Montana Constitution Rally
Feb
13

Montana Constitution Rally

Join the Montana Conservation Voters and others from across the state to celebrate and protect the core values that uphold our democracy.

EVENT DETAILS:                                                               

Date: February 13, 2025 

Time: 12:00 PM 

Location: Capitol Rotunda, Helena, MT  

This event will feature powerful speeches, insightful discussions, and a chance to connect with others who care deeply about preserving our constitutional rights. It’s a time to stand together and show our shared commitment to a fair and just system for all Montanans.

RSVP HERE

The Montana Legislature is considering bills that would undermine the rights guaranteed by  the Montana Constitution, including SB 42, which would force  judges to identify with a political party when running for office. Since our state’s Constitution was first written, Montanans have relied on our courts to protect their rights and freedoms. Introducing political parties into the courtroom would undermine our fair and impartial judiciary. 

Please join us in standing up for freedom, fairness, and the rule of law. Your presence matters — together, we can send a powerful message about the importance of defending our Constitution.

We hope to see you there!
