Democracy doesn't defend itself. People do.
This May 9, Yellowstone County Democrats gather for our 38th Annual Harry S. Truman Democratic Dinner — and this year, we're bringing in one of the most important voices in the country to remind us exactly what we're capable of.

Our keynote speaker is Hardy Merriman, a globally recognized expert on civil resistance and nonviolent organizing. For over 20 years, Hardy has studied and supported the movements that have changed history — and he knows what it takes for ordinary people to build extraordinary power. In a moment when that knowledge matters more than ever, we couldn't be more excited to welcome him to Billings.
Come for the keynote. Stay for the community, the conversation, the silent auction, the raffle, and the reminder that we are many — and gaining momentum!
