50 people united in a Circle of Unity on March 31, 2011.  Rev. Bob Hill, MORE2 Clergy Caucus Co-Chair and Senior Minister of Community Christian Church, convened the group.  He stood in the shadow of Abraham Lincoln in front of City Hall, calling the Earnings Tax Renewal campaign, a “People’s Campaign.  Close to 100 associations and other groups have joined in on the campaign.

The MORE2 Board voted unanimously to support the passage of the Earnings Tax, which is up for renewal on April 5th.  Over one dozen clergy from throughout the metro area united in support.

Teaching, preaching and praying on this issue, the MORE2 congregations joined together to educate their 12,000 families who work or live in the metro area.

The group joined hands around Lincoln and each participant stated what they “stood for.”

“I stand for Equity”–”I stand for Justice”–”I stand for my children”

A powerful event indeed!

(Jeremiah 29:7)

MORE2 will join our sister organization, MCU (St. Louis, MO) in Jefferson City for our Annual Legislative Day Tuesday March 8th. Missouri Lawmakers have told our constituents that in the Missouri Budget, “Nothing is Sacred”.  In fact, a staff member told us that the promise to not raise taxes was “Sacred”. Join people of faith from MORE2/MCU congregations (55 member congregations from the Kansas City/St. Louis metro regions) as we tell what we hold as sacred.
