We've Got The County Covered
Western Native Voice is proud to announce that Senate Bill 4, sponsored by Senator, Jason Small, has passed the Montana Senate on a vote of 43-7. Senate Bill 4 would extend the Missing and Murdered Indigenous People Taskforce for another two years. By extending this task force, the Montana Legislature would help our tribes bring back our missing brothers and sisters.
Western Native Voice’s Political Director, Keaton Sunchild, who has been testifying on this bill stated, “Senate Bill 4 passing the Senate is a great first step towards continuing the hard work of bringing our missing brothers and sisters home. The MMIP task force has been a proven way of starting to make real progress here in Montana and I look forward to working with the members of the House to ensure this bill passes."
Senate Bill 4 will now move to the Montana House of Representatives where Western Native Voice and others will work to pass it out of this chamber on to the Governor’s desk to be signed back into law.
Western Native Voice encourages everyone to stay involved in the state legislative process as we work with our allies to speak on behalf of our tribal communities and the issues that impact us.
