Montana Conservation Voters: mobilizing conservationists that care about clean air and water, open spaces, wildlife and public health while promoting responsible stewardship of Montana’s natural assets.

Planned Parenthood Advocates of Montana: engaging in education and mobilization activity including advocacy, voter education, and grassroots organizing around the belief that all people should make private reproductive health care decisions through providing quality care, accurate education, and advocacy for individual rights.
