Missouri labor, reproductive rights groups advocate in support of November ballot measures

CLAYCOMO, Mo. — Missouri labor and reproductive rights groups gathered at UAW Local 249's office in Claycomo, Missouri, on Saturday to rally and canvass in support of Proposition A and Amendment 3 on the November ballot.

Proposition A would incrementally increase Missouri's minimum wage to $15 by 2026 and require all employers to provide employees with paid sick leave. Amendment 3 would amend Missouri's constitution to remove the state's ban on abortion.

Ashley Ball was in attendance at the rally with Stand Up KC. She is advocating for paid sick leave for all workers in Missouri.

"Me personally, I've dealt with myself and my children being sick, as well as homelessness," she said.
