The Future of MTIP: A Deep Dive Into Our New Strategic Plan

In this Giving Tuesday special episode of Unpacking Injustice, MTIP Executive Director Amy Sings In The Timber and Legal Director Brady Minow Smith walk through the Montana Innocence Project’s newly released strategic plan. Since 2008, MTIP has been dedicated to freeing the innocent and challenging injustice. In this episode, Amy and Brady break down how our mission is expanding to meet the needs we see every day in Montana’s legal system — from strengthening legal casework to improving reentry support and advancing second-chance reforms.Together, they discuss each of our four strategic priorities:1. Narrative ChangeHow shifting public understanding, elevating lived experiences, and sharing accurate data can change the conversation about justice in Montana.2. Legal WorkHow MTIP will continue our commitment to innocence work while expanding our legal efforts to address other forms of injustice and bring about second chances for more people.3. Support for ReentryWhy reentry support is essential, what Montanans face as they come home from prison, and how MTIP will stand alongside clients as they rebuild their lives.4. AdvocacyHow community-powered policy work and statewide collaboration can build a more fair, accountable, and transparent justice system.Whether you’ve followed MTIP for years or are joining us for the first time, this episode offers clear insight into where we’re headed and why this moment matters.Support Our WorkIf you believe in the work ahead, consider making a Giving Tuesday gift to help bring this strategic plan to life.https://mtinnocenceproject.org/donateRead the Strategic Plan Summary https://mtinnocenceproject.org/mtip-2026-2029-strategic-plan/
