THIS WEEK ONLINE / IN PERSON  STATEWIDE


RESPECT MO VOTERS


Respect Missouri Voters is a grassroots, volunteer-led campaign working to protect the citizen initiative process and make our government work for everyday Missourians. Their goal is straightforward but vital– pass a state constitutional amendment to protect majority rule in Missouri. We need 2,500 volunteers in order to gather signatures.  Join our campaign to pass a ballot initiative for a state constitutional amendment that will BAN politicians from: 


  • Overturning initiatives that voters have already passed.

  • Attacking citizens' ability to use the initiative process.

  • Deceiving voters with confusing ballot language.

MISSOURI JOBS WITH JUSTICE - STATEWIDE


A place for people who want to stop the wealthy few from mistreating and dividing us - and who want to start getting the dignity we deserve. Since 1999, MO JWJ has shown up for workers across the state. We won minimum wage increases. We expanded Medicaid. We stop corporations from outsourcing our jobs and privatizing our public goods. We do big things.

NOW - DONATE TO NPR / PUBLIC TV 


“Senate Republicans voted early Thursday to claw back $1.1 billion in funding from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting that lawmakers had already approved for the next two years. The House followed suit late Thursday evening, clearing the cuts to be signed into law ahead of a Friday deadline. 


The rare procedural move came at the direction of President Donald Trump, whose combative relationship with the press has only escalated in his second term. 


KCUR will lose nearly $1 million in federal funding over the next two years if Trump signs the cuts into law as he is expected to do, said Lisa Rodriguez, the station’s interim director of content.”


“KCPT is also at risk of losing out on a significant source of funding. If the public broadcasting cuts are finalized, the station stands to lose about 9% of its radio budget and 13% of its TV budget, Kuehl said. In anticipation of cuts, the station trimmed its annual operating budget and set aside emergency funds from last fiscal year, Kuehl said. The station is also turning to increased fundraising as it evaluates long-term sustainability, he said.


“It will be very difficult to replace this federal funding. And ultimately it will limit ours and every PBS station’s ability to provide the resources and programming communities count on and will most likely force some smaller rural stations to shut their doors for good,” Kuehl said.”
