In Montana, we care about one another. On snowy mornings, we shovel each other’s walks. Bumper crops means shared produce and canned goods. We respect fences as much as we revere open spaces. We spare our time on moving days and we cheer on each other’s kids on Friday nights. It’s not about who you love or where you’ve been, but if you’re coming to dinner.
Yet, in recent months we’ve seen attacks on our neighbors because of the color of their skin, where they were born, the religion they practice, or who they love.
Racism, antisemitism, & xenophobia are unacceptable - and we know they’re not reflective of the vast majority of us. In Montana, it’s the length of our tables, not the heights of our fences, that define us. There's plenty of room under our big sky for everyone, no matter where they come from, how they live, or who they love.
A project of Catalyst Montana, Open To All celebrates and raises the visibility of Montana’s local businesses and non-profit organizations that are working towards justice, safety, and dignity for all.
