Lindsay Browning: Defending Direct Democracy
Lindsay Browning, a leading voice for the Respect Missouri Voters coalition, will be a featured speaker.
Respect Missouri Voters is a dynamic, cross-partisan grassroots movement dedicated to protecting Missourians’ century-old right to shape our own laws through the citizen initiative process. The mission is to ban politicians from overturning, delaying, or manipulating the will of the people and to defend direct democracy in Missouri.

2024 Reproductive rights
2024 Minimum wage and sick pay
2022 Recreational marijuana
2020 Medicaid expansion
2018 Medical marijuana
2018 Clean Missouri, anti-corruption/redistricting (overturned by legislators)
