Black History Month reminds us: history shapes the present.

Systemic racism still drives inequities in Black maternal health and access to care across Missouri.

Naming it creates clarity. And clarity creates change.

Reproductive freedom must include equitable care for all. 💛

We’re standing up and fighting back to make Missouri live up to its motto – the welfare of the people must be the supreme law.

📣 When voting rights, workers’ rights, abortion rights, trans rights, families’ rights, Missourians' rights are under attack– What do we do?

STAND UP FIGHT BACK!

#StandUpFightBack tomorrow in Jeff City; RSVP 👉 bit.ly/JoinBeacon26

Missouri politicians work for ✨us✨ – not the other way around. They can’t keep ignoring the people they represent and keep their jobs.
