Protect Affirmative Action in Missouri
Don’t let them send Missouri backwards!
California businessman Ward Connerly is trying to ban affirmative action in five states including Missouri, halting efforts for equality for women and African-Americans, Latinos, New Americans and other ethnic minorities in Missouri. His deceptively-named “Missouri Civil Rights Initiative” attempts to trick Missouri voters into passing an an amendment to Missouri’s Constitution that would tie our hands on countless efforts to build more dynamic and diverse classrooms, congregations, workplaces and communities.
Jobs with Justice is working as part of the broad-based WE CAN Coalition to oppose this anti-affirmative action initiative. JwJ is working with ACORN to coordinate grassroots volunteer efforts to prevent Connerly’s “hired guns” from collecting enough signatures to qualify for the November 2008 ballot in Missouri.
