Who are we?Montana Makes Change, project of the Organizing Empowerment Project, is a coalition dedicated to promoting social justice and civic engagement. Participating in this election is crucial as it determines the leaders who will shape state policies, education systems, and local communities. Your vote directly impacts the governance of local communities and the direction of the state, influencing key issues like voting rights, civil rights, the legality of abortion, LGBTQ+ rights, and worker's rights. The most impactful people in someone's life are their friends and family. Therefore, we are compensating individuals for their time to engage not just with strangers door-to-door, but to discuss the importance of voting with their friends, making their voices heard and amplifying the impact within their personal networks.
