Missouri – Vote YES on Prop A

This election season, Missourians have the opportunity to increase the state’s minimum wage and establish paid sick days for all Missouri workers.

We are asking you to join us and our partners in voting YES on Proposition A (Prop A).

Currently, one in three Missouri workers do not have paid sick days. Families and caregivers should be able to prioritize their health and well-being without the stress of losing wages. Prop A will ensure that individuals in our community have paid time off to care for themselves, their children, and family by guaranteeing one hour of paid sick leave for every thirty hours worked. Healthy and thriving communities only exist if individuals and families within them are healthy and well.

A vote for Prop A is also a vote for an increase of the Missouri minimum wage to $15 by 2027. Increasing the minimum wage has been proven to improve health, well-being and educational outcomes for families and children and positively impact the economy.
