Please join us on Earth Day for a guided discussion on inclusive spaces in Montana. Together we will explore some of the following questions: How can we build a more inclusive Montana that reflects and celebrates the diversity of our state? How can we raise the voices of those less heard? How can we strive to include all Montanans’ perspectives in our policy and decision making? While we are coming at this topic from the lens of environmental policy advocacy, we encourage all people interested in inclusive spaces in Montana to join. This will be an opportunity to learn from each other through group discussion and asking questions. Celebrate this Earth Day by taking a step towards creating a more inclusive Montana, and more inclusive planet.

This event is hosted by Union of Concerned Scientists Western Montana, a non-partisan science and democracy advocacy group based in Missoula County. We believe it is critical to have science-based policy, and that it is integral that our scientific networks are reflective of all Montanans’ voices. We advocate for policy we can be proud of through community outreach and engagement, and open dialogue with community members and policymakers.
