Join Anne and Rachel in this send off to 2022 and get ready for 2023!

First off, learn more about writing testimony in favor of or in opposition to bills by reading over testimony from a bill that came up in the 2022 MO Legislative session: https://house.mo.gov/billtracking/bills221/witnesses/HJR132Testimony.pdf. When you find our testimony (or your own testimony), let us know!!

Then, thinking about running for office? We break it down step-by-step so that you know how to get up and rolling!

Next, Anne tells us about some unique figures who have run for office through history and gives us a run down on what LWVKC volunteers have been up to!

Anne and Rachel lay out what changes have been wrought by HB 1878 on Missouri's voting system. Due to provisions in the law, we cannot talk about requesting mail-in absentee ballots, so we encourage you to visit sos.mo.gov for more information on that topic.

Greg Woodhams comes by to talk to Rachel and Anne about the broader picture of changes that HB 1878 has brought to town.

Rachel and Anne discuss federal legislation, the history of polling, and a couple of new projects the League is working on!

Then, they interview Jazlyn Gallego and Reid Magney from VoteRiders to learn more about their mission and find out how they can help voters in Missouri.

Join Rachel and Anne to learn about what happens to a bill after it passes through the House and Senate. And! Missouri is going to have a Special Session! Anne gives us some little known information about Independence Day.

The interviews with voters have been edited for length and clarity.

We wanted to bring you a brief update on the state of abortion rights. In a slight divergence from the norm, we branch out from our Missouri focus to talk about Kansas's Amendment 2 vote that is coming up on August 2nd. Then, we explain what exactly the laws are surrounding abortion right now in Missouri.

Take care of yourselves. Anger can be healthy. Make sure you check www.vote411.org for your ballot in the August 2nd election!!
