Legislative Agenda for the 2017 Session
Our Legislative Committee is actively participating in the 2017 Legislative Session. MAC is advocating for the following causes:
Abolition of Death Penalty
MAC opposes capital punishment and calls upon the Montana Legislature to abolish the death penalty.
Children & Families (Children’s Mental Health, Hunger, Cost of Air Ambulance)
MAC calls upon the State Legislature and all the people of Montana to recognize the rights of children, to help the hungry, and access emergency care without fear of financial devastation.
Prisoner Re-Integration
MAC is looking at all aspects of the criminal justice system and seeking ways to reduce incarceration while increasing public safety, and increasing the success of prisoners returning to our communities.
Immigration / Hospitality toward vetted and documented immigrants and humane treatment for all
MAC seeks to love our neighbors and welcome the stranger by promoting immigration legislation, public policies and business practices that are humane and just.
You can view MAC’s supporting issue statements and additional causes here. We invite you to use our Advocacy Toolbox, and learn how to connect with and join the legislative committee. We welcome individuals, non-profits, and congregations to champion these causes at the 2017 Legislative Session.
