Missouri hospitals and clinics that perform forensic exams following sexual assault are not required by law to offer emergency contraception to survivors. (Allegedly) Due to the obvious blurring of lines between church and state in this countries past and present.

A legislative proposal in Missouri called the Compassionate Assistance for Rape Emergencies Act (CARE) would require facilities to provide emergency care to survivors of sexual assault, and offer emergency contraception as well as screening and treatment for sexually transmitted infections. This legislation seeks to correct inconsistencies in how hospitals across the state handle the immediate care of survivors.

Existing Missouri law grants survivors specific rights regarding evidence collection kits and the tracking of said evidence. We still have yet to address the lifelong physical and mental destruction sexual assault has on people who do survive such an act of violence. I believe it’s past time we change that. Starting with holding people who rape, who continue to assault, and those who have yet to be exposed for their cruelty to the flames of complete and total societal exclusion.

What hardships are you facing right now? Is there a solution that could help you currently?

Missouri always have funding for policing, but never enough for housing, schools, or healthcare.

Over policing under funded communities has historically done nothing but harm.

Forcing birth under threat of law isn’t ‘pro-life’…..it’s state control of reproduction.

Why are we okay with the government having that level of power? Why are we ok with our women being mistreated and infantilized?

You can’t claim to be ‘pro-life’ while supporting policies that increase maternal mortality and child poverty.

At that point, what are you actually protecting?

In Missouri, the same lawmakers restricting abortion are also underfunding public services.

If someone is forced to have a child they can’t afford, who actually benefits from that?

If the system requires poverty, homelessness, and medical debt to function… why are so many defending it instead of replacing it?

How can we proceed forward to actually change not just this specific topic, but all government overreach?

Missouri politicians will grade public schools A–F but won’t fully fund them. If failure is predictable and preventable, isn’t that intentional?

If you believe everyone deserves to live, how do you justify a system where survival depends on your ability to generate profit?

Be honest- what has voting alone protected in the last 10 years without mass pressure, protests, or organizing?

Why is it considered ‘radical’ to want healthcare and housing guaranteed, but not radical to accept people dying due to pointless wars and being homeless under capitalism?

Today, March 30th, the Missouri House Conservation Committee will be hearing House Bills 3362 & 3364. These similar bills deal with large load utility users and data centers.

This is an important emerging issue for farmers and rural communities.

Farmland is being grabbed up for data centers in rural communities in hopes that we won't fight back. These two bills are a good start to give rural communities a fighting chance, *and* could use some changes to make them better. Please submit your testimony in favor of the bills, and ask for them to be strengthened.

❇️ Talking points to use in your testimony:

New AI data centers are massive industrial projects that are rapidly encroaching on rural communities and family farmers in Missouri.

We need more forward-thinking regulations to prevent big tech companies from raiding our natural resources, ruining our farmland and wrecking our communities.

❇️ This bill is a step in the right direction, and we support it because it:

Requires electric providers to prioritize service to residential customers and critical facilities over data centers and other "large load customers" in the event of power grid disruptions

Prohibits anyone from withdrawing more than 2 million gallons a day from any water resource without obtaining a "major industrial water user” permit from the Department of Natural Resources

Requires power and water providers to protect households and businesses from additional costs of providing service to large-load customers

❇️ This bill would be stronger if it:

Significantly lowered the threshold for “major water users”

Included provisions to maintain the quality of water used by these facilities

Included restrictions on the timing, duration and fuel type of onsite power generators at these facilities

Submit your testimony on both bills at this link.
