Weekly Newsletter - October 25

Volunteers/supporters in Kansas City, Florissant, at University of Central Missouri in Warrensburg, and Columbia (left and center). Building signs in St. Louis County (right).  We are just nine days away from November 3.  Take a moment to read the text of Amendment 6. At just 1.5 pages, it’s a short but powerful measure shaped directly by our Respect Missouri Voters community. Amendment 6 honors past generations who used citizen initiatives to build a better Missouri, while giving future generations an even stronger democratic tool than the one we inherited. You built this movement, and now it's time to carry Amendment 6 across the finish line. Call to Action 3 ways to carry Amendment 6 across the Finish Line We are so close to election day. When November 3 passes, we want to know we left everything on the field and did everything we could to pass Amendment 6.

WRITE A LETTER TO THE EDITOR 🎉 Volunteer Spotlight  🎉 Ryan Philyaw thinks a lot about politics, and he was delighted recently when he saw a house that had one of our Yes on 6 signs right next to a sign he didn’t expect. That moment highlighted what makes this campaign special: voters from every political background coming together around a shared goal.  In addition to signature gathering and all his other work in the Kansas City area, he paid the bond and took the oath to become a notary to help the cause. "I have met the greatest people doing this,” he says. We’re glad you’re one of us, Ryan!
