Legislative Update 4/14/24

Missouri Equity Education Partnership-Action mobilizes those who support diversity, equity, and inclusion for ALL! Please see the calls to action outlined below and join us in bending the arc towards equity ensuring Missouri schools are a safe, welcoming space where folks can learn all things

There are only five weeks left before the end of session on May 17, including this week. We have testified and notified our leaders, and now comes the time when we sometimes have to wait and watch in order to know the best course of action to take. Therefore, our focus will shift to close monitoring of the Chamber debates, and remaining in contact with others in our partnership to determine next steps. Sometimes things happen quickly, unexpectedly, and at odd hours of the day or night. It is not uncommon to send out updates with single-issue calls to action during these last weeks. We will keep you informed.

Thank you for all you have done and will continue to do!

HOUSEKEEPING NOTES

Please note some committees have not scheduled hearings yet.

THIS WEEK’S CALL TO ACTION

CONTACT ELECTED REPRESENTATIVES TO PROTECT DIRECT DEMOCRACY!

Urge a vote against SJR 74 (Coleman) if this comes up for debate. This resolution will change the Initiative Petition process and undermine one person-one vote.
