Welcome to Missouri Mondays.
“Happy Pride! “Do not ever forget: Pride began as a riot, as an act of defiance against ongoing violent oppression by those with power. Now more than ever, we must stand together, show up for each other, and be willing to fight for someone we don’t know.” U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez

URGENT STATEWIDE ACTION NOW!
TELL MO GOV. KEHOE TO VETO HOUSE BILL 567 OVERTURNING EARNED PAID SICK LEAVE AND MINIMUM WAGE INCREASES!
Email Gov. Kehoe here: https://secure.everyaction.com/5ATGn8k_5k-pTURUvEKt6g2
Join Missouri Workers Center and Missouri Jobs with Justice in demanding Missouri Governor Mike Kehoe veto House Bill 567 and defend the will of the people!
Workers delivered over 210,000 signatures from all 115 counties to put guaranteed earned paid sick days and a minimum wage increase on the November ballot. On Election Day, Proposition A won with 58 percent of the vote — across race, place, and party affiliation.
On May 1, over 700,000 Missouri workers became eligible to accrue one hour of paid sick leave for every 30 hours worked. Unfortunately, the State Legislature prioritized the interests of corporations over our communities, and lawmakers went to extreme lengths to overturn Proposition A, even ending the session early.
We deserve representatives who put working people first. We expect the leaders we have elected to represent our interests by making decisions that allow every Missourian to thrive. That's why we must call on Gov. Kehoe to veto HB 567!
