Welcome to Missouri Mondays.
NO KINGS 2.0 - Thousands of Missourians showed up at NO KINGS 2.0 rallies all across our state in communities big and small and despite the rain in several locations. We gathered peacefully and with love for our country declaring NO KINGS in America! It was energizing and joyful and history making. This is what democracy looks like! Let’s keep the momentum going!
URGENT NEED TO HELP STOP RIGGED MAPS POWER GRAB - We consider this effort the highest priority action to save our democracy! There is a very narrow window (now to early December) for Missourians to collect over 100K signatures to put a citizen’s referendum on the ballot so voters can repeal the legislature’s gerrymandered maps. Training and volunteer opportunities with People Not Politicians MO are listed below and on our upcoming events doc here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1SZqI3j4nv2N3ylrsLTYXHa60aNMC-a4GlXZyj08lmPw/edit?tab=t.0
PROTECT MAJORITY RULE - Respect Missouri Voters is a grassroots, volunteer-led campaign working to protect the citizen initiative process and make our government work for everyday Missourians. Help collect signatures for a state constitutional amendment to protect majority rule in Missouri. See details below and visit their website for more information and volunteer opportunities: https://respectmovoters.org/

IMMIGRATION KNOW YOUR RIGHTS TRAINING / VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES
Advocates for Immigrants Rights and Reconciliation (AIRR) provides “Know Your Rights” training for community members who are directly impacted by immigration policies. No matter where you were born or what your immigration status is, you have rights under the constitution. During this training, we will review people's constitutional rights. AIRR’s goal is to educate, train and empower as many community members as possible to feel confident with their knowledge of their due process rights in order to exercise them to keep themselves and their families safe. This training also offers a plan of action when a person is detained. Additionally, AIRR offers Know Your Rights to allies and service providers on how to better protect the community they serve.
