We already asked Missourians about abortion. In 2024, Missourians said NO to abortion bans, but politicians have forced ANOTHER abortion ban on our ballots later this year. Politicians shouldn't get to overturn what we voted for just because they don't like it. That's why this year, we're voting NO on 3.
Sign up to get out on the doors in Eastern Jackson County to educate our neighbors about the abortion ban and AAM's endorsed candidate for Senate District 8, Keri Ingle!

Voters deserve the final say on the laws that govern us. Amendment 6 protects and strengthens our freedom to pass laws through the citizen initiative petition process. Written by everyday Missourians, AMENDMENT 6 guarantees honest ballots, ensures respect for voters, and protects our right to use the initiative process.
The Missouri Supreme Court ruled in our favor, officially securing Amendment 6 on the November ballot. This is a huge win, but we only cross the finish line if a majority of Missourians vote YES on 6. With just 8 weeks left, we need your help to educate voters in every corner of the state. As a grassroots movement, we have the power to directly appeal to voters through face-to-face conversations. We need as many volunteers as we can get to spread the word. It all starts this weekend at our statewide canvassing launch. Special “limited edition” yard signs will also be available for purchase at all canvassing events.
