Statement from Gillian Helm, CEO of Literacy KC
We are at a critical juncture. Without continued support, these learners risk being left behind, missing the chance to improve their lives and contribute even more meaningfully to our community. I ask you to stand with us in this fight. Please contact your Missouri State legislators and urge them to apply pressure on Missouri’s Congressional delegation to protect federal assistance programs that keep our students and their families housed and fed. Additionally, we must advocate for continued state-level support of adult education and workforce development programs.
Your voice is powerful, and with your support, we can push back against these harmful policies and ensure that education, healthcare, and basic needs remain a beacon of justice, for those who need them most.
