Advocating for equity and justice across Montana
Our Work
First and foremost, we are a racial equity and social justice organization.
Our work centers on community organizing, education, and base-building and is rooted in the principles of solidarity, equity, and interdependence. Through the building and strengthening of relationships and the growing of alliances and networks, we work to build intersectional, antiracist leadership and community power toward transformational change in Montana.
Founded in 2015, The Montana Racial Equity Project (MTREP) is a statewide organization with headquarters in Bozeman.

This work provides assessments, training, facilitation, curriculum design, materials review, campaign and organizing support, and organizational strengthening. We offer both programmatic and consulting services. Our work aims to uncover interpersonal bias, institutional racism, structural racism, historical trauma while creating pathways for authentic and accountable relationships. It is our belief that institutions and systems will transform when people and communities are in right relation–meaning our liberation is not only interconnected but interdependent.

My Voice, My Choice provides a space for reflection, strategy and community care for health care and abortion providers, leaders, organizations, activists and communities committed to strengthening Reproductive Justice for Montanans. My Voice, My Choice is designed to create a forum for up-to-date state policy and access updates, thematic explorations with leaders and experts, and presentations from the frontlines that are rooted in collective learning, coalition-building, and narrative change.

This space offers a chance to build community, spark discussion, and share in the work and wisdom of Black, Indigenous, Queer, and other writers of color. We have both a virtual and in-person gathering. Come read with us!

“We belong to a place.
And we belong to each other.”
MTREP supports our communities by creating brave spaces for collective transformation.

Due to the current political climate in the state of Montana and across the country, we are respecting the need for our board to feel safe. In an abundance of caution, names and images of the board have been temporarily removed. We look forward to a time when supporting DEI organizations is not treated as a risk, but recognized as a meaningful commitment to equity, education, and community care.

“When you get, give.”
Our liberation is not only interconnected but interdependent.
