  • Another Constitutional Assault

    Nationalize the Election Process

    The rapid pace of assaults on the US Constitution are exhausting.

    Balancing national needs with what we as individuals can do is extremely difficult.

    There are several organizations that are currently working Grassroots Non Partisan Efforts to protect the rights of Missourians.

    One such effort is through Respect MO Voters

    Respect Missouri Voters: Is a grassroots, cross-partisan movement. It is specifically designed to protect the “citizen initiative” process. The movement works to stop politicians from overturning the will of voters. It ensures clear ballot language. It also preserves the Citizens Initiative process in Missouri.

    They are very active in 2026 and always need people to help gather signatures or host small informational gatherings. They are looking for volunteers to support every aspect of their efforts. Check out their website and find ways to volunteer.

    If you do not have the time to volunteer, please check out the Signature Gathering Events. This way, you can find a convenient location to sign the petition.

  • Are you looking for additional ways to fight back?

    The Missouri Voter Protection Coalition (MOVPC) is a non-partisan statewide network. Its voter advocates work to secure the right to vote in Missouri.

    Legislation is happening and we should all be aware of how our vote is affected. Today, being an an informed citizen means, you need to find organizations that align with your beliefs. Follow them to stay aware of the issues you care about. If voting rights is something you care deeply about I would encourage you to visit MOVPC Website.

  • MO Petitions to Sign for Promoting Democracy

    Missouri currently has several significant petitions circulating that will shape the 2026 ballot and state politics.

    Please, look for the tent at the Weekly Protest at Mid Rivers Mall Drive and Sue Mandy to sign these critical petitions.

    Active Petition Campaigns

    People Not Politicians – Referendum on Redistricting

    This petition seeks to overturn the new congressional map passed by the Missouri legislature in September 2025.  The campaign needs to collect approximately 117,000 signatures by December 11, 2025, to place the measure on the November 2026 ballot. If successful, voters would decide whether to accept or reject the gerrymandered map.

    Respect Missouri Voters – Constitutional Amendment to Protect Initiative Petition Process

    This petition aims to protect citizens’ ability to use the initiative process and prevent the legislature from overturning voter-approved measures.  The amendment would expand the initiative and referendum petition process by making it a fundamental right, allow courts to revise ballot summaries through lawsuits, prohibit the legislature from weakening initiative powers, and prevent the legislature from repealing laws enacted through voter initiatives without 80% approval from both chambers.  The campaign needs approximately 300,000 signatures by December 31 to qualify for the 2026 ballot.  This effort directly counters a GOP-backed constitutional amendment (HJR3) that would require citizen-led initiatives to pass not only statewide but also in all eight congressional districts—a requirement that would not apply to amendments proposed by the legislature itself. 

    MO for LGBTQ – Marriage Rights and Civil Rights Petitions

    This organization is collecting signatures for two separate petitions.  One would amend the state constitution to define marriage as “between two consenting adults,” protecting LGBTQ+ marriage rights if the federal Supreme Court ruling is overturned.  The second petition would expand Missouri’s anti-discrimination laws to include sexual orientation, gender identity, pregnancy, and marital status.

    Missouri Right to Education Initiative

    This petition seeks to make education a fundamental right for Missouri children and require the state to maintain “adequate, thorough, and uniform high quality free public schools” in every district. The measure aims to address inequality between school districts across the state.
