St. Louis Braces for State Take-Over
The Republican wrecking ball has hit St. Louis. There may be more damage when the smoke clears this weekend when the Missouri Legislative Session ends. We have fought too hard for accountability of the police and courts! We have fought too hard to include citizenship participation in government!
The forced resignation of CA Kim Gardner last week could set these gains back 20 years. Also at stake is the attempted repeal of local control of the police department. The CAPCR meeting will focus on assessing the political damage to our agenda by the GOP and its cronies and how we should move forward to ensure genuine citizen participation for political empowerment. #RealPublicSafety
