Welcome to Missouri Mondays!
“In a democracy, the highest office is the office of citizen." — Justice Louis Brandeis
Justice Brandeis believed the highest and most important office in a democracy is that of the private citizen. He believed that civic duty requires us to be active participants in our democracy and neglecting that duty can cause serious harm to the public. In other words—it is up to us to fight for our rights and freedoms.
Great news! We just happen to have some ideas for taking action this week.

Six years after the passing of Congressman John Lewis, Missouri Voter Protection Coalition is excited to continue his fight for voting rights by again anchoring “Good Trouble Lives On (GTLO)” actions in Missouri.
