Policy Leadership Institute

Group shot of PLI 2024 attendees.

PLI is a multi-day training and community building event for anyone interested in realizing a future where there is justice, safety, and dignity for all. PLI is held annually and builds the skill and community necessary to create meaningful change in our lives as low-income and marginalized Montanans.


Participants learn and practice community organizing and policy advocacy through our hands-on and in-depth sessions. There’s also plenty of time to build community and learn from each other! After attending  PLI, participants will have the tools and co-conspirators they need to build and use collective power and create real improvements in our lives.
