In 2024, Missourians passed the Right to Reproductive Freedom Initiative.

It currently provides us with the right to access prenatal care, childbirth, postpartum care, birth control, abortion care, miscarriage care, and respectful birthing conditions.

Amendment 3 would take that away.

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.

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.

This decision is a victory for families across the country and for every person who believes in the promises of our democracy. It proves unequivocally that the president does not decide who is protected by the constitution and its guarantee of birthright citizenship.

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.

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.

A4 is the politicians' attempt to consolidate power for themselves. A4 would require citizen-led ballot measures to pass in EVERY congressional district (<5% of voters could cause a measure to fail). However, politician-referred ballot measures would only need a simple majority statewide to pass.

Missouri voters approved both medical & recreational marijuana through the initiative petition process after politicians in Jefferson City failed to make changes.

Previous Secretaries of State and Attorneys General have agreed that referred legislation is suspended upon receipt of the referendum petition. In 2017, then-Secretary Ashcroft announced that Missouri’s so-called right-to-work law was suspended after his office received more than 300,000 signatures.

ACLU of Missouri @aclumo.bsky.social · 07/04/2026
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”.
