DECEMBER - STATEWIDE ACTION MULTIPLE LOCATIONS
RESPECT MISSOURI VOTERS (Statewide)
WHO WE ARE - Respect Missouri Voters is a grassroots, volunteer-led campaign working to protect the citizen initiative process and make our government work for everyday Missourians. Our 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

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.
*Find more information about AIRR Know Your Rights training here: https://airrkc.org/know-your-rights
