After GOP lawmakers repealed parts of a voter initiative on paid sick leave and minimum wage, and added an abortion ban to the ballot, protesters say they will look at passing a constitutional amendment that legislators can't touch.

The article from KCUR discusses a protest held in Kansas City, Missouri, on May 16, 2025, where hundreds gathered to rally against recent legislative decisions by the Missouri state government. The protesters were primarily focused on two issues: the state's stringent abortion laws and the rejection of a proposed sick leave policy. Demonstrators expressed frustration over the lack of reproductive rights and the failure to pass legislation that would allow workers to earn paid sick leave. Speakers at the event, including local activists and affected individuals, emphasized the need for change and urged attendees to continue their advocacy efforts. The protest highlighted a growing discontent among Missouri residents regarding these critical social and labor issues.
