Montana · Self-Determination
On a fair ballot, a majority of Montana votes to leave the union.
There is no organized movement for it in Montana yet. That is exactly what we are here to change.
Montanaadults in Montana would back independence when the question is asked the way a ballot asks it: calm, binary, and peaceful. That's about 54% of the state.
Even the understated abstract poll counts 204,000 (24%). How we get this number →

The other 531 are chosen by people who don't live here.
The only question that matters
Montana is already a nation in all but name.
If Montana were already a self-governing nation, with its own border, its own money, its own defense, everything two hundred other nations control, and the vote in front of you was not whether to leave, but whether to join the United States on the terms it offers today, would you vote yes?
Cast your vote
Montana calls itself the Last Best Place, and it has always run on the idea that people out here can handle their own affairs without asking a distant capital for permission. On a fair, plainly worded vote, calm and binary and peaceful, about 54 percent of Montana would vote to leave the union. That is roughly 460,000 adults, a majority of the state.
That number is the honest one because a ballot is not an opinion survey. A ballot is a quiet, private, yes-or-no choice about your own future, and when the question is put that way support runs about 30 points above the abstract poll. Even that abstract YouGov question, the understated floor, already puts Montana at 24 percent, about 204,000 people. Move it to a real vote and the state sits at or just past a majority.
What is missing here is not the will. What is missing is each other. Montana went Republican in 2020, which only shows that governing yourself is not a red thing or a blue thing, it is a Montana thing. We bring the playbook and the connections from the largest independence movement in the country. We do not run your group and we do not take your money. You build what Montana's movement looks like.
