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.
