What is the Montana Sexual & Reproductive Health Collective?

We are a statewide, people-powered alliance of clinicians, advocates, organizers, legal experts, and community leaders working together to protect bodily autonomy and advance sexual and reproductive health across Montana. We're rooted in the Reproductive Justice framework and driven by collaboration, not hierarchy.

What does it mean to be a "collective"?

A collective means we share power, not concentrate it. There’s no rigid hierarchy—our members lead the work, shape strategy, and move in solidarity. Decisions are made through shared values, trust, and coordination. Everyone brings something to the table, and we grow stronger together.

How are decisions made?

We use a collaborative and consensus-informed model. There’s no executive director or top-down board, just a growing group of people and organizations working together. We elevate the voices of those most impacted and let the work be shaped by real, on-the-ground needs.

How do members participate?

You participate as it fits your capacity, there’s no one way to be a member. Members take part in a variety of ways:

• Join monthly strategy sessions to align on statewide priorities

• Access and share public education toolkits and campaign materials

• Use our shared tools—like messaging guides and organizing templates

• Support urgent response efforts during legislative or legal threats

• Stay connected through newsletters, calls, and real-time updates
