Opportunities for Gathering Signatures
This weekend, the Midwest Uprising Convergence will be at the University of MO’s JC Penney Building. The conference is from August 12-15. If you have an hour or two to collect signatures, these will be our kind of people–open to social justice issues.

Next weekend is the Missouri Black Expo at the downtown Convention Center. Thousands will be coming through the Expol August 20-21.

If you can collect signatures at either of these events or any other upcoming event, please let me know and we can get you a petition board and information leaflets.
