Missourians for Constitutional Freedom, the PAC gathering signatures for an initiative to place women’s reproductive rights, women’s health care, and access to abortion on the ballot, and their allies held volunteer training, petition signings, and rallies across locations in Missouri yesterday evening.

Rabbi Doug Alpert, Congregation Kol Ami, spoke at the evening rally in Kansas City.

.

Rabbi Doug Alpert: ….Being in this space, being space with really good people is what keeps me sane during insane times. But most of all, being here tonight gives me hope. It is good to be, be together tonight, this evening, to work for justice, for abortion access, and freedom for patients to make their own decisions about health care, about pregnancy, abortion, birth control, and life-saving decisions around miscarriage care and pregnancy complications. [applause]

[….]

…I had the honor of speaking at the Kansas City version of the Women’s March back in twenty-seventeen, representing the Jewish community. I can’t believe since twenty-seventeen. It is a marathon and not a sprint, isn’t it? [voices: “Yeah.”] Isaid back then that it would be women, those that led us in the march, who are gonna lead us out of this mess we are in and lead us to a more just and free State of Missouri and a more just a free country. I haven’t changed my mind about that since then….
