Hundreds of protesters flooded the Missouri Capitol today, decrying the Republican-controlled legislature’s recent attacks on direct democracy. The legislature reconvened for its 2026 session last week, where state lawmakers are expected to focus on issues like income tax cuts, cost of living, housing and food access until the session ends in May. Today’s protest, organized by a range of local activist groups, came on the heels of one of the most explosive years in recent political history. Attendees protested Missouri lawmakers’ recent votes on a proposed abortion ban, a gerrymandered congressional map, a plan to overhaul the state’s form of direct democracy and the overturning of a voter-approved sick leave law.
