Make Your Voice Heard!
Personal testimony and public comment are CRUCIAL to getting important bills passed. MCPA works closely with legislators and other actors to get helpful legislation introduced. When the bills are being heard by the legislature, the public has the opportunity to share testimony and voice their support/opposition of bills. There are opportunities to testify in person, virtually, and by submitting a statement. Make a difference!
Montana Child Protection Alliance actively supports bills that strengthen Montana children and family rights. We encourage those of you with personal experience to come out and testify in person, via Zoom, or in writing during the legislative session. Your testimonies are very powerful and can really make a difference in whether these bills are passed into law.
