WELCOME!

Montana Women Vote is committed to increasing the role of women's participation in all aspects of our democracy - through increasing voter turnout, providing information about candidates' stands on issues important to women and their families, and helping women become advocates for changes in public policy.

News & Events: We are excited to announce that MWV collected over 6000 signatures for the I-164, Cap the Rate Campaign. In the coming weeks we will get the official word on whether the initiative has qualified and will be on the November ballot. Thank you to all the volunteers and supporters who helped with this effort!

Did you know that only about 30% of low-income women are registered to vote?

When low-income women don't vote, not only are they left out of the democratic process as individuals, but the issues critical to their lives are not represented in public policy decisions.

The goal of Montana Women Vote:

Montana Women Vote is a coalition of non-profit organizations working statewide to educate and mobilize low-income women and their allies to participate in the democratic process. Member organizations address issues of economic justice, violence against women, environmental health, reproductive rights and human rights.

The nine statewide partners are the MT Coalition Against Domestic and Sexual Violence, MT Human Rights Network, NARAL ProChoice MT, Planned Parenthood of MT, Women's Opportunity and Resource Development Inc. (WORD), Women's Voices for the Earth, Blue Mountain Clinic, homeWORD and the YWCA.  Montana Women Vote's five community member organizations include Blue Mountain Clinic and the Poverello Center of Missoula, Opportunity Inc. of Great Falls, and Business Professional Women (BPW) and Bridger Clinic of Bozeman.

In conjunction with increasing voter turnout, MWV is also committed to educating on the connections between issues and how issues impact women's daily lives.  MWV has worked year-round on multi-issue advocacy and public policy since its formation in 2000.
