Legislative Update 4/21/24

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

We have four weeks left before the end of session, including this week. We will continue to closely monitor Chamber debates, and remain in contact with others in our partnership to determine next steps as remaining legislation moves. The passage of SB 727 has been a bitter pill to swallow, but we will continue to focus on what we can do. We continue to plant seeds and make changes that seem small right now, however; small drops of water wear down mighty mountains over time. 

We will  send messages to our elected leaders via ballot boxes in the August primaries and general election in November.

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