We passed Proposition A way back in November. We shouldn't have to fight for this after voters have made it clear. Workers deserve dignity and respect. Paid sick leave is a start.
Arguing against that is despicable and smells like oppression.

Missouri voters were clear when #Amendment3 passed. HBs 1072 and 1417 "to abolish abortion" are in direct opposition to Amendment 3 and attack our right to abortion and reproductive freedom. I encourage you all to testify ASAP.

Ahmaud Arbery's life was stolen by violence and hatred fueled by racism and fear. May the anniversary of his passing serve as a stark reminder that we must confront injustice head-on and fight for a world where Black lives are truly valued, protected, and free to exist without fear.
On this day in 2020, two white men killed Ahmaud Arbery, a young unarmed Black man out jogging. Local officials lied and did not hold the men accountable for months, until a video was released.

Voters know what they passed. These bills aiming to give voters the ability to "decide again" are a waste of time and taxpayers' resources. Several repeatedly implied the language wasn't vetted or challenged - it was. Missouri voters deserve to be truly represented, and the GOP is missing the mark.
The proposal would ask voters to ban abortion but include exceptions for survivors of rape or incest up until 12 weeks of pregnancy, as long as the crime was reported to police. #moleg #mogov
