The GOP wants to silence dissent in our State Legislature.




<[link removed]>
Earlier this week, the Republican-led Montana State Legislature voted to
silence Representative Zooey Zephyr after she spoke out against a bill that
would ban gender-affirming care for minors across the state.Now, they have
voted to BAN Rep. Zephyr for the remainder of the legislative session.

It’s undemocratic, and it’s wrong. Targeting and silencing the first openly
transgender woman legislator in Montana is beneath the office our legislators
hold. Rep. Zephyr represents 11,000 Montanans, and she deserves to be able to
speak on critical legislation that impacts her constituents – just like every
other elected official in our state.

This is just another example of the Republican Party using its power to
silence people. And it’s shameful.

While Republicans wield their power to silence dissent rather than to do the
work they were sent to Helena to do, Montana Democrats are ready to do their
jobs serving the state and protecting every Montanan’s constitutional rights.

We need your help right now, John. Will you help send a message to Montana
Republicans by splitting a donation between the Montana Democratic Party and

Montana House Republicans can continue to silence Rep. Zephyr and the 11,000
Montanans she represents, but they will not be able to bury this story or
escape the consequences of using their power so irresponsibly and
undemocratically.

We’re going to make sure that they pay for their actions by defeating them in
2024.

Help us fight for Rep. Zephyr, and for all who extremist Republicans are
trying to silence by splitting a donation between the MDP and MDLCC today.
