With the session winding down, sometimes the way to make the most impact is to SHOW UP. Many of our partners are holding Lobby Days in the next few weeks. Whether your passion is healthcare, support for new Americans, or protecting voting rights, there is a Lobby Day for you.

JCRC wants to support members of the Jewish Community visiting Jefferson City. If you want to attend, and need transportation, please contact me.

Scroll down for more information about each of these Lobby Days and also about the March for Education Equity Fair taking place in St. Louis on April 30.

Thank you for your advocacy,

JCRC Deputy Director

Grab a friend, hop in the car, and head to Jefferson City with Missouri Health Care for All! Attend our 2022 Lobby Day to meet other Health Justice Warriors and speak with your legislators about our state’s most pressing health care issues. Protecting Medicaid Expansion in Missouri will be a top priority.

Since 2015, the Missouri state budget has included language that prevents undocumented residents from paying the resident rate to attend public colleges and universities or be able to receive publicly-funded scholarships. Over 20 states have tuition equity policies allowing undocumented residents to pay in-state resident tuition, including Texas and Florida. On April 20, join IFCLA in Jefferson City to connect with elected officials and advocate for tuition equity for undocumented students.

Lunch is provided and proof of vaccination or a recent negative COVID test required.

Join Missouri Jobs for Justice, the JCRC and many other organizations on May 3rd to stand against attempts by our legislators to make changes to the Initiative Petition process which will restrict our ability to put key issues on the ballot. The Senate and House floor leaders will be grappling with these bills before the end of the legislative session and we want to show large, grassroots opposition against any IP reforms on May 3rd.
