PROMO has an active presence lobbying at the Capitol. Lobbying is simply an effort to win the support of legislators or other public officials for a position on a piece of specific legislation or a specific legislative proposal.
Our goal is to talk to legislators about issues that LGBT Missourians face.
How can you get involved? Personal lobby visits by people just like you are the most persuasive tool for affecting issues in the legislature. That is why we ask you to join us at our annual lobby day, Equality Day, at the Capitol. Our 2019 Equality Day dates are February 19 and April 10. If you were unable to register for February 19, we encourage you to contact your legislators by phone and discuss why LGBTQ equality is important to you, or plan to meet us on April 10.
Because of our presence at the Capitol, PROMO has helped kill over 32 blatantly anti-LGBTQ bills in the past three years. Missouri Nondiscrimination Act is a positive pro-LGBTQ bill that PROMO supports.
Steve McLuckie introduced the Missouri Nondiscrimination Act (MONA) for the first time in 1998.
MONA would prohibit discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity in the workplace. MONA would simply extend the existing Missouri Human Rights Statute to include LGBTQ people.
There are over 1,000 businesses that support MONA. Check out this list. If your business is interested in being included in this list please email promo@promoonline.org.
