Weekly Newsletter - July 27

This is important. We're all in this together.

Top Left: Pieces Game Night; Top Center & Right: July 17, St. Louis - Make Good Trouble Bottom Center: July 17, St. Louis - Make Good Trouble On July 17th, Respect MO Voters volunteers joined forces with Missourians across the state in a powerful display of civic action—making “good trouble” in honor of John Lewis and standing up for the voice of the people. Meanwhile, policy updates are ongoing, focused on closing loopholes and refining language to ensure the strongest possible foundation as we prepare to begin gathering signatures. We’re also excited to welcome Katie Fahey to the campaign! Her experience and leadership will help grow our movement and strengthen our regional presence across Missouri. 📣 Changes Coming to All Volunteer Monday Calls! 📣 As we move closer to our shared goal—gathering signatures and getting this measure on the ballot. Beginning July 28th our Monday calls will shift their focus to field operations.  Everyone is still welcome, and we hope to see you there! First half: We’ll all meet together for updates and announcements. Second half: Breakout sessions by region, giving you a chance to connect directly with your Regional Director and teammates. Notaries are especially encouraged to attend! Let’s keep up the momentum—see you Monday! Call to Action Onboarding is in need of individuals who want to connect volunteers with the organization and with each other. Do you have a computer, phone, and 1-2 hours a week to make warm calls? Then our Connection Caller role might be a great place to volunteer. If you’re interested email onboarding@respectvoters.org  Have you joined the organization, but not gotten connected to a department or role yet? Attend an Orientation call (even if you’ve already been to one) to ask questions and find out about how to connect better.

If you've got any of these supplies that you can donate to the campaign, email outreach@respectvoters.org and let us know what you've got and where you're located so we can connect you with the best drop-off location for you.
