Moms Demand Action
MO - Statewide - 2025 Advocacy Day
Tuesday, April 1, 8:30 AM
Missouri State Capitol
201 W Capitol Ave
Jefferson City, MO 65101
Moms Demand Action volunteers and gun safety advocates from across Missouri are heading to the State Capitol to advocate for stronger gun violence prevention laws. This year, we're focused on defeating dangerous gun-lobby-backed bills—like HB 1175, which would make life-saving federal gun laws null and void in Missouri. Join us for our 2025 in-person Advocacy Day! A full agenda will be shared with those who RSVP with two "Know Before You Go" meeting options! We will have meetings with lawmakers scheduled in the morning or afternoon, depending on your schedule. And everyone is also welcome to stay the full day!

Local Indivisible group - Indivisible Kansas City will join hundreds of Indivisible groups across the nation for a "Hands Off!" day of action on Saturday, April 5. We're educating people and taking to the streets to fight back with a clear message: Hands off! Meeting 10 am to Noon. After the meeting, Rally near Plaza Fountain Noon to 2 pm.
DT and Musk think this country belongs to them. Kansas City is fighting back! They're taking everything they can get their hands on—our health care, our data, our jobs, our services—and daring the world to stop them. This is a crisis, and the time to act is now.
This mass mobilization day is our message to the world that we do not consent to the destruction of our government and our economy for the benefit of Trump and his billionaire allies. Alongside Americans across the country, we are marching, rallying, and protesting to demand a stop the chaos and build an opposition movement against the looting of our country.
