Every person counts.

We are intervening against the Missouri Attorney General's lawsuit to defend this bedrock constitutional principle. Past attempts to rig the census at the expense of immigrants and communities of color have been struck down, and the court should do the same here.

Voting is the cornerstone of our democracy and should be equally accessible to everyone. HB 2787 would restore voting rights to people who have completed sentences and are currently serving probation or parole. We encourage the public to submit testimony online in support of these three bills: https://witness.house.mo.gov/Default.aspx?noticeid=11100

This is a meaningful move in the right direction, and our work isn't done.

We're not letting up on our pressure to prevent federal agents attacking our communities.

Civics lesson for the Missouri legislature: our constitution established three co-equal branches of government: the legislative branch makes laws, the executive branch enforces laws, and the judicial branch interprets laws. This system of checks and balances creates an interplay of power between and among the branches of government, ensuring that each holds its own authority, but is also subject to and dependent on the authority of the other branches to fully function.

The Missouri Bar stands firmly against any effort to diminish the role of the judiciary as a co-equal branch of government.

Martin Luther King, Jr. dedicated his life to advocating tirelessly for the justice and equality of Black Americans and resisting elected leaders’ deliberate abuse and neglect of our communities. He was relentlessly targeted by our government for his views and pursuit of equality.

MLK, Jr.'s words hold true nearly 60 years later: Now is when we must act to fight injustice.

🚨 HEARING ALERT – Anti-Trans Bills 🚨

On Tuesday, Jan 20 @ 4:30 p.m., the House Emerging Issues Committee will hold a hearing to remove the sunsets on our state’s trans bans. Their intent is to make them permanent.

These bans were never acceptable, and making them permanent is a direct attack on trans and nonbinary young people's futures. We're asking you to use your voice and sign up to testify in person with us.

Can't come Tuesday? You're able to submit written testimony OR join us for the "Stand Up, Fight Back" Rally on Wednesday, January 21 at 12 p.m.
