Register to vote and take the pledge! On August 8, Kansas City, Missouri, will vote on a $15 minimum wage. Voting YES on Question 3 will enact a $10 minimum wage right away and give working families a raise each year until the minimum wage reaches $15 per hour in 2022.
Be sure you register to vote today if you live in KCMO. Take the pledge afterwards to commit to voting and sharing information about the vote with others!
Help us strike down HB 1194, a law that forbids Missouri cities from raising their minimum wages! The bill is now on Governor Eric Greitens' desk. It is a threat to all Missouri cities pushing to guarantee a living wage to hardworking people.
Kansas City's new minimum wage law would go into effect before the state law would, yet it is nevertheless imperative we call Governor Greitens at 573-751-3222 and tell him to veto HB 1194.
Call your U.S. Senators to ask them to reject the American Health Care Act! TheAHCA is an immoral bill. It guts Medicaid by $834 billion, allows insurance companies to overcharge the elderly and Americans with pre-existing conditions, and is expected to make 23 million people lose health insurance. All this while cutting taxes for the rich by $230 billion.
Please contact Missouri Senator Roy Blunt (202-224-5721), Kansas Senator Jerry Moran(202-224-6521), and Kansas Senator Pat Roberts (202-224-4774). Ask them to take a stand against this misguided legislation.
Thanks for all you do to help bring human dignity to the center of public life. Have a blessed week.
