PEOPLE NOT POLITICIANS MO CALL TO ACTION ON GERRYMANDERED MAPS!
Tell Secy of State Hoskins and Attorney General Hanaway they must follow the MO Constitution! Missourians' voices must be heard. Add your name here: https://actionnetwork.org/petitions/hoskins-and-hanaway-must-follow-the-mo-constitution
The Missouri Constitution clearly states "any measure referred to the people shall take effect when approved by a majority of the votes cast thereon, and not otherwise." (Article III 52(b)) When Missourians submitted 305,968 signatures to the Missouri Secretary of State to put HB1, politicians' gerrymandered map, to a vote of the people, the map should immediately be paused and not go into effect.
But Missouri Secretary of State Denny Hoskins and Missouri Attorney General Catherine Hanaway don't like following the Missouri Constitution. Unelected AG Hanaway claims the maps have gone into effect, and SOS Hoskins has gone along with her claim that the map has gone into effect on Thursday, December 11.
TELL HOSKINS AND HANAWAY TO FOLLOW THE MO CONSTITUTION AND LET VOTERS DECIDE! Add your name here: https://actionnetwork.org/petitions/hoskins-and-hanaway-must-follow-the-mo-constitution

WHAT YOU CAN DO TO HELP SUPPORT IMMIGRANTS, HONOR ALEX PRETTI, RENEE GOOD AND ALL ICE VICTIMS
Help support immigrants in the KC Metro
Advocates for Immigrants Rights and Reconciliation (AIRR) provides “Know Your Rights” training for community members who are directly impacted by immigration policies. No matter where you were born or what your immigration status is, you have rights under the constitution. During this training, we will review people's constitutional rights. AIRR’s goal is to educate, train and empower as many community members as possible to feel confident with their knowledge of their due process rights in order to exercise them to keep themselves and their families safe. This training also offers a plan of action when a person is detained. Additionally, AIRR offers Know Your Rights to allies and service providers on how to better protect the community they serve.
