Issues

Montanans don’t live single-issue lives, and similarly the ACLU of Montana’s work often spans multiple issue areas. For example, there are many overlaps between our Indigenous Justice and Racial Justice work, both of which also tie into Voting Rights, while our Free Speech work is connected to our 2S-LGBTQIA+ Rights work, since political or legislative attacks against 2S-LGBTQIA+ people often involve attempts to restrict free speech or expression, as seen in attempts to ban drag performances. Still, identifying our primary areas of focus (listed alphabetically below) helps ensure that our work is relevant to the needs and priorities of people across Montana.
