RespectMoVoters organizing statewide rallies
ST. JOSEPH, Mo. (News-Press NOW) -- Rallies will be held across Missouri to give voters a chance to express concerns for politicians interfering with ballot measures that have already been passed by voters.
The "Save Our Say" rally in St. Joseph will be held at 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. on Saturday, May 17, at Civic Arena and is sponsored by RespectMoVoters.
In a press release sent to News-Press NOW, the RespectMoVoters group said, "The rally will inform those in attendance of the actions of the Missouri Legislation to subvert the will of Missouri voters. Missourians have used the citizen initiative process for over 100 years to have a say in laws of the state."
The press release also mentioned the efforts Missouri politicians have put forth to take away "the say" of Missouri voters in this legislative session, by overturning Amendment 3 and Proposition A- which were both passed by voters in November 2024, as well as other ballot initiatives in recent years.
RespectMoVoters is a non-partisan grassroots effort of volunteers across the state, that will draft a citizen-led petition, which will ban politicians from interfering with initiatives voters have already passed.
The canvassing of petition signatures is expected to begin on July 1 by RespectMoVoters volunteers. The group aims for the petition to appear on the November 2026 ballot.
