Families for a Livable Climate is a network of Montana parents, caregivers, and community members working to ensure that our kids have a vibrant, secure, and healthy future.
We create community for climate action in Montana by engaging families of all kinds in community-oriented climate events, educational opportunities, advocacy, and leadership.

Urgent Actions
NorthWestern Energy has recently announced they plan to acquire majority ownership of Colstrip. To express our overwhelming concerns about this issue, we have created a petition and are working to gather thousands of signatures in the coming months. We plan to deliver the petition and signatures to NorthWestern and the PSC at the beginning of April.
Upcoming Events
Join us the night before Climate Advocacy Day to celebrate our wins, hold our legislators accountable, and look to the future!
Climate Advocacy Day is an opportunity to tell the story of what is possible—that there are real alternatives, that we can put social and ecological well being over the accumulation of wealth and power, and that all people have dignity and worth. Through our collective imagination and participation in government, we can build a future that works for all Montanans.
As you work so hard to take care of others, we encourage you to carve out this small amount of time to try something new and take care of yourself.
This 90-minute, practice is intended for renewal and regeneration.
