JUJ Endorses:

Vote Yes on Amendment 3 - More here
Vote Yes on Prop A - More here

Secretary of State Jay Ashcroft’s office announced that a proposed constitutional amendment ending Missouri’s abortion ban gathered enough signatures to appear on the November ballot. 

A YES vote will put an end to Missouri’s abortion ban, allowing women to take charge of their own pregnancy and abortion-related care with the guidance of their families and doctors, free from political interference.

Who is May Meachum?


Mary Meachum (1801–1869) and her husband, Reverend John Berry Meachum, were American abolitionists who dedicated their lives to educating and freeing enslaved people.
On the night of May 21, 1855, a small group of enslaved people met at Mary Meachum’s home downtown as the waypoint to start their journey to the river to attempt an escape in the area that is now part of the Mississippi Greenway:
Riverfront Trail north of the Merchant’s bridge. They intended to cross the Mississippi River to Illinois where slavery was outlawed. However, enslavers and law enforcement officials caught at least five of the enslaved people and arrested Mary for her participation in the plot.
She was charged in criminal court for helping the “fugitives” escape.
In 2001, the National Park Service recognized the site as part of the Underground Railroad Network to Freedom.
