Once again a Republican controlled state legislature is using authoritarian tactics to prevent a progressive colleague from performing in her elected function. Representative Zooey Zephyr has been silenced and barred from attending sessions of the Montana State House in retaliation for her voicing opposition to Republican sponsored anti-trans legislation. Americans from across the country must stand up for genuine democracy in every state where it is threatened. Zephyr has the support of the Missoula County Democrats, the local organization that supports Democratic candidates like Zephyr. By donating to this fundraiser you are showing that folks active on Mastodon have Zephyr’s and the Missoula County Dems backs. Your contribution will be split 50/50 and routed directly to Zephyr’s campaign and the Missoula County Dems.
