More than 250 demonstrators marched through downtown Bozeman to air their grievances against President Donald Trump’s actions since taking office again on Jan. 20. The protest, organized by Indivisible Bozeman, highlighted concerns over the expansion of the executive branch’s powers, federal workforce reductions, shifting support for Ukraine, and the future of public lands, veteran benefits, and scientific research. Similar protests have occurred in other cities in Montana and across the nation. Former U.S. Army Officer Andre Zollars helped lead the protest, stating that she and her husband fought for democracy overseas and are now fighting for democracy at home.
Indivisible Bozeman is gaining support even from Montanans who voted for Republican representatives. The protest attracted individuals who support public land and climate advocacy, LGBTQ+ rights, scientific research funding, and federal workers fired from government agencies. Montana’s all-Republican federal delegation has largely supported Trump’s actions, including the reduction of the federal workforce, which led to job losses in Montana.
Indivisible Bozeman has invited Montana’s federal delegation to a town hall event on March 21 to address concerns about protecting public lands, jobs, women’s rights, social benefits, and veterans’ benefits. Zollars emphasized the importance of standing up for American values and constitutional rights during the protest, calling on Republican representatives to align with these principles.
