Save Our Say Sit In

May 17 @ 12:00 pm - 2:00 pm

Respect MO Voters and 50501 Missouri invite you to our SAVE OUR SAY Sit-In at Park Central Square. As Missouri legislators return home after undermining voter-approved amendments, we will gather to demand that our voices be heard and respected. For over a century, Missourians have relied on the citizen initiative process to shape our state’s laws. That process is now under attack. In April, Governor Kehoe signed SB22, also known as the “Let Politicians Lie Act.” This bill guts the initiative process, making it nearly impossible for everyday citizens to put measures on the ballot without political interference. We are rallying to protect our democracy and support a proposed 2026 amendment that would: 1-Ban politicians from overturning voter-approved amendments 2-Protect the initiative process from added barriers 3-Stop misleading ballot language that manipulates voters Together, we will send a clear message: We, the people, have the final say.

Event Highlights ✨ Guest Speakers ✨ Petitions, voter registration, calls & letters ✨ “Hands Around the Square”– Circle of Unity ✨ Family-friendly and peaceful

Bring: Signs, voice, water, snacks, chair/blanket, and comfortable shoes.

Meet: In Park Central Square Parking: Nearby free parking garages and lots available.
