“…There were definitely a lot of really terrible bills [in Jefferson City] that were pushed this year by the Republicans. But I will say that although they tried to go after the petition initiative process, they had these horrible attacks on trans children [….] The list could go on and on and on…”

State Representatives Martha Stevens (D-46) addressed the crowd:

…I’m really optimistic that its [Medicaid expansion lawsuit] gonna go in our favor and that the courts are gonna tell Republicans that we have to follow the Constitution that voters put in for Medicaid expansion last August. Because we know that that is a win for every community in our state. So that people have access to preventative health cares, so that we have healthy communities, healthy parents, and it’s a job creator…

…We saw the shock of George Floyd being murdered right before our eyes, handcuffed, begging for mercy, as the police officer put his hand in his pocket. We also experienced depression through the pandemic as we were isolated […] And then January sixth happened, and the anger of seeing our Capitol attacked. As a veteran I can tell you I hadn’t been so angry since September the eleventh. But just like then we realize nothing is going to change unless we change…

…We need people that we can believe in that inspire us and we need people who are one of us, who know our own struggles. I came from a decent, good family. But we struggled my whole life, like nearly everyone does. It’s a common struggle and that need to change. It should not be a struggle just to get to the age of twenty, to get to the age of forty, to get to retirement. It shouldn’t be a struggle. We’re all struggling [….] It’s not pull yourself, it’s pull up all of us. We’re a community, we’re a village, we’re a family…

State Representatives David Tyson Smith (D-45) addressed the crowd:

…The Republicans have realized that if everybody votes they can’t win. Okay. That’s a reality. They know that if everybody votes they can’t win elections. And so they’ve been using the Trump lie, about the stolen election, to justify these outrageous bills that they’re trying to move through the legislature…
