Looking back on day one of Vision to Win, it's clear that the rest of the country can learn a lot from Montana on how to cultivate and engage young leaders. NARAL Pro-Choice Montana's staff is comprised of Millennials, as is nearly half of its boards.

We joined with young progressive leaders representing LGBT allies, civil liberties, and many more important causes. We shared the findings from our research project and then turned the floor over to the attendees. Here's what he heard:

• Keep the personal focus on this issue.


• Relate the issue to your community (such as a what is it like for women in your immediate area).


• Talk about choice as a value; don't forget that to appeal to people's hearts, not just their heads.


• Access to abortion is not separate; it is part of the decisions women make, like accessing birth control.

We can't wait to hear more from young leaders in Missoula. (BTW, going across the continental divide is like driving through the clouds.)
