The MCV Education Fund Relaunches Montana Pushback

(HELENA, Mont.) – The Montana Conservation Voters Education Fund has relaunched its campaign today, Montana Pushback, to keep all Montanans informed and equipped to protect Montana’s clean air, clean water and public lands during the 68th session of the Montana legislature.

The campaign’s website is online at MontanaPushback.org and also includes an online homepage takeover of the Helena Independent Record and a billboard.

Executive Director Whitney Tawney released the following statement:

“While elected leaders across the political spectrum pledged to support and defend Montana’s outdoors in last year’s election, it’s up to us as Montanans to make sure they live up to their promises. Montana’s brightest days are ahead, but it will take committed Montanans from across the state standing up and pushing back against ill-conceived ideas that will deprive future generations of the clean air, clean water and public lands that so many of us often take for granted.”

On November 8, Montana voters elected an anti-conservation supermajority.

With bill drafts already signaling threats to clean air, clean water and public lands, the MCV Education Fund is staying vigilant to the task ahead and will keep Montanans up-to-date through MontanaPushback.org and provide action opportunities for emails, phone calls and in-person meetings at the legislature.
