Yesterday, the ACLU of Missouri, the ACLU Voting Rights Project, and the Campaign Legal Center filed an amicus brief in Hoskins v. Von Glahn, urging the U.S. Supreme Court to reject a last-minute effort by the Missouri Secretary of State to reinstate an unlawful gerrymandered congressional map.

“Throughout this process, politicians neglected every path to provide Missourians with clarity and resolution, instead choosing intentional and unnecessary delay as their tactic to force an illegal map to thumb the scale of partisanship.” -Gillian Wilcox, Director of Litigation and Policy for the ACLU of Missouri

Last night, Missourians overwhelmingly rejected Amendment 4, protecting our right to direct democracy.

Since 2020, 27 states have banned transgender youth from playing school sports. Many of these bans allow for invasive forms of sex testing putting all female student-athletes at risk and emboldening intrusive challenges to student-athletes' sex.

Missourians are free to once again access medication abortion in their home state. A recent ruling affirms the preliminary injunctions, allowing procedural abortion to continue, and making medication abortion available for the first time since 2018.

Two months after the Civil War officially ended, historians say Union troops arrived in Galveston Bay, Texas, on June 19, 1865, to tell more than 250,000 enslaved people that they were free. We celebrate Juneteenth to commemorate the 1865 emancipation of enslaved Black people in Galveston, Texas.

Juneteenth is a reminder that our freedom is the result of constant action, not coincidence.

Quote from Vox Magazine: "The realities of organizing and liberatory work is that we're not going to get free overnight. But seeing folks who wouldn't even talk to me in a coffee shop get in front of a city council and tell me a powerful story – I know I'm moving the needle right." -Brittany Hughes, Community Organizer at the ACLU of Missouri

While HB1663 targets trans people, it will harm all women and girls by enabling any school official to question & harass young women who participate in school sports. The law would invite gross scrutiny & harassment of all young women and girls and set a dangerous precedent for state overreach.

Missouri voters approved both medical & recreational marijuana through the initiative petition process after politicians in Jefferson City failed to make changes. Now those same politicians want to take away our right to direct democracy by gutting the initiative petition process through Amendment 4

The lower court’s order departs from a century of legal precedent. Time and time again, courts upheld that “the mere lodging of a timely, legal, and sufficient referendum petition with the Secretary of State is all that” must be done to “halt” the “law affected”.

Birthright citizenship is a constitutional guarantee. We’ll be at the Supreme Court fighting to defend that right on behalf of tens of thousands of children who call the U.S. home.

Every child born on U.S. soil is a citizen. The Constitution guarantees birthright citizenship. No president can change that.
