Pro-affirmative action folks aren’t waiting for anti-affirmative action group Missouri Civil Rights Initiative to get its constitutional amendment banning racial preference on the ballot before they get organized.
The ACLU of Kansas and Western Missouri plans a pro-affirmative action coalition meeting for Jan. 11 at 11:30 a.m. at the AFL-CIO office, 1021 Pennsylvania Avenue.
The Missouri Civil Rights Initiative, led by Missourian Tim Asher, and aided by California anti-affirmative action guru Ward Connerly, is in the midst of a legal battle with the Missouri Secretary of State’s office over the ballot language for the proposed amendment. Once that is sorted out, the Missouri Civil Rights Initiative will try to get enough voter signatures to get the amendment on the ballot.
