Legislative Update 4/28/24

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 are down to three weeks left before the end of session, including this week. This week is likely the last week we will travel to Jefferson City to testify in hearings. However, 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. 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.  We continue to plant seeds. 

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 CALLS TO ACTION

CALL YOUR SENATOR TO VOTE AGAINST SJR 74. This bill makes direct democracy much harder in Missouri and misleads voters.

CALL GOVERNOR PARSON TO URGE A VETO OF SB 727 AT 573-751-3222! This voucher bill opens a door that will totally change the landscape of Missouri public education, leaving out struggling and rural districts.
DEMAND GOVERNOR PARSON VETO HB 2634! This bill defunds Planned Parenthood in Missouri, and eliminates one more resource of publicly funded healthcare for folks who need it.
