In 2024 our affiliate continued the fight for the rights of transgender individuals, specifically the ban on gender affirming medical care for minors and the ban on medicaid funding for that same care for minors and adults, with an appeal to the missouri supreme court. We continued our work to protect the fundamental right to vote in missouri with two appeals to the missouri supreme court in cases challenging the strict photo id law as well as laws restricting speech related to voting. We fought in court to undo decades of restrictions on abortion care in our efforts to enforce the right to reproductive freedom initiative (passed in november 2024) and we sued to protect the constitutional right to use marijuana while on probation in missouri. We concluded our school-to-prison pipeline initiative in the hayti school district which focused on community engagement around making changes to district discipline policies. In addition, our director of policy and campaigns was named the missouri lawyer of the year by missouri lawyers media.
