🚨 SAVE THE DATE MAY 12 - JEFFERSON CITY
📣 People Not Politicians MO
🪧 Let Us Vote! Rally
📅 Tuesday, May 12
⏰ 10AM
📍Outside the MO Supreme Court - 207 West High Street - Jefferson City
✔️RSVP TODAY: https://www.mobilize.us/pnpmo/event/935516/
Missourians did what the law requires. We organized, gathered signatures, and exercised our constitutional right to a referendum by turning in 305,000+ signatures in December 2025. Since then, politicians have continued to push forward this gerrymandered map as if the people have no power, advancing decisions while the referendum process is still underway. On May 12th, as "Maggard v. State of Missouri" is heard before the Missouri Supreme Court, we’re coming together to show just how much this moment matters. This rally is about visibility and clarity. The courts are considering questions that go to the heart of our state’s constitution and the referendum process. We need to show up, stand together, and make it clear that Missourians are paying attention and know our constitutional right to a fair path to the ballot.

📣 TAKE ACTION! Tell Denny Hoskins to Certify our Referendum!
Preliminary data from the Missouri Secretary of State's office confirms that a sufficient number of signatures were collected, in every required congressional district, to put the People Not Politicians referendum on the November ballot. Secretary of State Denny Hoskins knows we have the signatures to qualify. Precedent shows that once a referendum or petition has reached the required number of verified signatures in each of the required districts, the SOS immediately certifies it. Hoskins is trying to find ways to delay our referendum. But his delays aren't protocol, he's playing a political game. Missouri voters will have the final say on politicians' gerrymandered congressional district map whether Hoskins likes it or not.

For more than 100 years and 27 different times, Missouri has upheld a clear and fundamental principle: the people have the constitutional right to directly shape our laws through the referendum process. This power exists to ensure that when the government overreaches, Missourians still have a meaningful way to be heard. But, politicians are attempting to silence our voices and override the clear will of the people – forcing us to vote in rigged elections that we said we don’t want.
