[Caitlyn Lewis]

*NorthWestern Energy's Rate Hike: Let’s Take Action Together!*

NorthWestern Energy is at it again - proposing another rate hike, and we
can't let them take advantage of Montana families. They're doubling down on
costly, outdated energy sources like Colstrip, while ignoring clean,
affordable wind and solar energy.

This rate hike will burden Montanans financially and worsen our climate and
health issues. But the good news is, we’re fighting back! Here's how you
can get involved:
