Constitution Roadshow Coming To Wolf Point

This September, Upper Seven Law is back on the road with the Montana Constitution Roadshow: A Shared Heritage for eight public events across eastern Montana. Officials are heading to Hardin, Glendive, Wolf Point, Glasgow, Malta, Chinook and Fairfi eld to meet Montanans in libraries, schools, senior centers and community halls.

Upper Seven Law is a Montana-based nonprofit firm that enforces the Montana Constitution and holds the powerful accountable.

The 1972 Montana Constitution is a remarkable document — written by Montanans for Montanans. It reflects this place: our land, our independence, our distrust of concentrated power, and a conviction that the people of Montana should have a meaningful voice in the government that serves them.

The Roadshow isn’t a dry civics lecture. It’s a historical tour through the circumstances that led Montanans to decide they needed a new constitution.

“The Montana Constitution belongs to all of us, and it’s too important to live only in law books and courtrooms,” said Rylee Sommers-Flanagan, Upper Seven’s founder and executive director. “We started the roadshow in 2024 because we love talking with Montanans about this remarkable document.”

This presentation will:

• Uncover unique features of the Montana Constitution, including the right to know, and the right to hold government accountable

• Explore its historical context and lasting importance in protecting the rights of all Montanans

• Highlight the interplay between the state’s three branches of government through stories, insights and an engaging visual presentation All public events are free and open to the public.

The schedule includes: Sept. 24: Wolf Point — Roosevelt County Library, 5:30 p.m.

Sept. 25: Glasgow — Glasgow Elks Lodge, noon.

Sept. 25: Malta — Malta Senior Center, 6 p.m.
