The Public Policy Institute of the Rockies (PPIR) has released the first wave of the Safe Community Challenge. The Challenge is a comprehensive analysis of existing state laws and is designed to equip advocates, stakeholders, and lawmakers with the tools they need to make communities safer. Tuesday, December 15th, marks the release of Montanaâs Safe Community Challenge Scorecard with scorecards for other states to follow.
PPIR was co-founded by State Representative Kimberly Dudik and Sophie Moon in September to make transformative change on under addressed issues. PPIR is guided by a highly experienced Board, including legislative champions Sharon Stewart Peregoy, Rae Peppers, Susan Webber; equity advocates Sierra Pannell, Lillian Alvernaz, and Kelsie Severson; and public health and education leaders Megan Bailey and Twila Old Coyote.
