Prop A is under attack! This is the final week of the Missouri legislative session and there is a serious threat of total repeal of workers’ earned paid sick time and the annual minimum wage increase that ensures that workers’ wages go up with the cost of living. Can you join us in Jefferson City to demand our legislators respect the will of the 1.6 millions voters who believe that no one should have to go to work sick? We’ll meet on the South Steps of the Capitol at 11:30AM for a rally and press conference! Then we’ll head into the Capitol together to talk to lawmakers and keep watch in the Senate gallery. We hope to see you there because the power of the people is greater than the people in power!

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.
