Testify against anti-choice bills this week
Join us and all of our partners on Thursday to testify (virtually) against two anti-choice bills — one that would criminalize doctors who are helping patients in sometimes tragic circumstances (HB 136), and another unconstitutional bill that infringes on patient privacy and does nothing to advance patient safety (HB 171).
Contact Julia Maxon, Planned Parenthood’s Lead Grassroots Organizer, to learn how. And have a look at this video with tips on how to feel more comfortable testifying — you’ll see some familiar people offering their advice:
The official deadline for registering to testify is noon on Wednesday, Feb. 3, so don’t delay!
Here’s what else you can do:

Make a monthly gift to Carol’s List, and be part of our work to recruit progressive women to run for office.
Other bad bills to take action on - from our friends at Planned Parenthood
House Bills 140 and 167 will be heard in Senate Judiciary Committee on Friday. Tell the committee members to vote no on both of these bills. These bills seek to shame women and stigmatize reproductive health care.
Message the Senate Education and Cultural Affairs Committee before Wednesday, when they hear SB 99, Sen. Smith's attempt to create barriers to sex ed in Montana's schools and bar abortion providers like Planned Parenthood from offering educational resources.
And one more bill to take action on
Tell your state senator to vote NO on the anti-trans bill HB 112, which is a terrible bill that’s now over in the Senate. Use Rossi’s talking points below if you like: Montana stands to lose millions, the bill is unconstitutional, and this bill bullies trans kids.
Keep paying attention. Thank you for taking action against these and other bad bills, and thank you for supporting our work!
