A great Legislative Day of Climate Action - Jan 20th
Close to 400 people came to Helena for a fantastic rally! Families for a Livable Climate, Climate Smart, Faith & Climate Action Montana, MT Interfaith Power & Light, the Sierra Club, MEIC, and many others came together for a collective climate action day at the Capitol. Thanks to our Board member Gwen Lankford for sharing her wisdom. The Missoulian did a nice write up including wonderful photos and video! Advocates rally for climate action at the Capitol.

2023 Tabled Bills

No on SB 97: protect renewable energy projects from a 500% tax on production (Tabled 1/25)
This bill would disincentivize the development of large wind projects in Montana and would be a huge setback to efforts to decarbonize our state’s electricity supply.
