This New Year, we ask you to add one more resolution for 2017: Get involved.
Stand with the ACLU of Missouri to help us defend the rights of all Missourians. The time is now. It is more important than ever that we unite and for equality. For justice. For each other.
Here are a few ways:
- Stand up and speak out at our Lobby Day on Tuesday, February 28 in Jefferson City. We’ll teach you how to best advocate for the issues you believe in and engage with state representatives and senators.
- Connect with your local officials. Know who represents you and how to reach them They may be in office but you still have a voice. Get involved. Hold elected officials accountable.
- Know your rights. Learn what your rights are with law enforcement, at protests, and in schools. Dissent is patriotic.
- Learn the issues. Follow us on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram to learn more about the issues affecting your community, including weekly updates on the 2017 Missouri Legislative Session.
- Volunteer. Use your talents to help us with outreach, events and special projects.
- Donate. Become a card-carrying member of the ACLU of Missouri. Every dollar helps our fight for justice through our legislation, litigation and education efforts.
In 2017, we resolve to keep on fighting for you.
