Last Wednesday, the Hands Off STL Coalition headed to Jefferson City to watch the first day of Rogers et al. v. The State of Missouri, a lawsuit filed by Mike Milton, Jamala Rogers, and ArchCity Defenders. This lawsuit is about more than the state takeover of SLMPD: it’s a fight for St. Louis’ right to govern itself. After 150 years of state control, Missouri voters passed Proposition A in 2012, making it clear they were in support of local control. HB 495, which put SLMPD under the control of the state-appointed Board of Police Commissioners, is yet another attempt by the state legislature to overturn the will of the people. We must let our local officials know that they must fight to protect democracy. Join us at any of the upcoming public hearings on the City Budget to demand the Board of Alderpersons to reject the proposed police budget, which has resulted in cuts to key programs like Code Blue, Right to Counsel, and the Office of Violence Prevention.

50 donors. $3,345. And a whole lot of hope. 🧡 This #GiveSTLDay, you showed up for immigrants and refugees in our community. Every dollar raised goes directly toward legal services for people who deserve dignity, safety, and a fair chance. If you gave for the first time this year —thank you! We'd love for you to stay close to this work. Sign up for our newsletters (link in bio) to see the impact your support makes. And if you feel called to go deeper: consider becoming a monthly donor. Even $5/month means someone facing an impossible legal barrier has an advocate in their corner — all year long. From our team, our clients, and our community: thank you. 💙 #GiveSTLDay #ImmigrationJustice #LegalServices #STL #StLouis #NonprofitSTL #ImmigrantRights

We wanted to create something that feels good and does good. Introducing Café con Purpose ☕️ Our new arroz con leche syrup is now featured in lattes, matchas, and espresso martinis, and every pour means more. 10% of all sales from these drinks will be donated to the @themicaproject , supporting immigrant families and legal advocacy right here in Missouri. Pull up. Tap in. Sip with purpose. 🖤
