I urge you to oppose SB 22 (Brattin), HB 414 (Murphy), HB 684 (Simmons), and HB 402 (Davis), which seek to prohibit courts from rewriting summary statements or ballot language for legislatively referred constitutional amendments, even when a court has found that language to be deceptive or misleadin
Defend Section 504 and disability rights protections

Protect Section 504, IEPs, and the opportunities they give our children to learn
Section 504 is a vital civil rights law that prohibits discrimination against individuals with disabilities in programs and activities receiving federal financial assistance.

The Missouri legislature has made it a priority in 2025 to enact a so-called "Parents' Bill of Rights", with a number of bills that dictate what topics may be taught in Missouri's K-12 schools, banning lessons on equity or true historical events. The bills include: HB744 (Baker), SB115 (Brattin), SJ

Revoke DOGE access, protect critical infrastructure integrity

PROTECT WASH U RESEARCH
I would like to know what you are doing to ensure research at Wash U is protected. Without research facilities and grants, St Louis will attract less talent and slowly the good doctors will leave. Also, my father in law has lived 2 years longer with lung cancer than he would have 20 years ago-that’s
NIH Policy Notice NOT-OD-25-068
I am writing to express my deep concern regarding the recent National Institutes of Health (NIH) policy change outlined in Notice NOT-OD-25-068, which standardizes the indirect cost reimbursement rate at 15% for all NIH-funded research grants. This policy shift threatens the financial stability of r
I stand in strong opposition to the proposed bills HB 314 (Cook), HB 389 (Casteel), HB 862 (Hovis), SB 251 (Moon), SB 281 (Carter), and SB 449 (Trent), which seek to impose harsher minimum prison terms and eliminate parole eligibility for certain offenses. These bills are overly punitive, fail to ad
Be actual fiscal conservatives, please
This is not the time to reduce tax revenue. Do not consider legislation to remove the state income tax; we need to be fiscally conservative. That means tabling any and all discussions for reducing state tax revenue until we know what we have to work with from the federal government, which seeks to s

Oppose HB 1693

HB 711 (Pollitt), SB 70 (Gregory), and SB 215 (Trent), the Public School Open Enrollment Act, pose a significant threat to the stability and equity of Missouri’s public education system and must be opposed. While the bills claim to promote parental choice and improve educational opportunities, they

As elected officials, it is your duty to respect the will of the people and uphold the democratic process. Attempting to overturn or delay these voter-appro
Take a stand against mass deportation
I’m writing to demand Mike Kehoe take a stand against the Trump administration’s mass deportation plan by refusing to help carry it out with local law enforcement. The US economy relies heavily on the hard work of undocumented immigrants, and we will all suffer devastating consequences without them.
On November 5, 2024, over 1.6 million Missourians—more than 57% of voters—spoke loud and clear by passing Proposition A to raise the minimum wage to $15 an hour by 2026 and provide earned paid sick leave to workers across our state. This was a historic victory for working families, a testament to th

Public schools serve the vast majority of Missouri’s children and are essential to the
Abortion Rights
The voters of Missouri have already made their stance on abortion rights clear through the recent ballot measure. Attempting to overturn or undermine this democratically expressed decision would be disregarding the will of the people. Instead of pushing personal agendas, representatives should respe
Stop ignoring Missouri voters
A majority of Missouri voters recently approved the right to abortion access up until viability, rejecting an outright ban.

Happy Library Advocacy Day!

Reject unconstitutional overreach on reproductive rights and healthcare access.
The proposed constitutional amendment poses a grave threat to reproductive rights and access to gender-affirming healthcare in Missouri.
