➡️ Update on this week’s meeting! Instead of committees, those attending the protests next week will come together to iron out all details. Please help spread the word @everyone! #leadingkansas #silentprotest #democracy #WeThePeople

Another version of BRANCH!!! #art #illustration

➡️ The sad and terrifying truth facing many American citizens and immigrants today. When “legal” is one person’s opinion, everyone loses. #ICE #immigration #leadingkansas #Constitution #constitutionallaw #constitutionalrights #DueProcess #DueProcessForAll #legality

☕️ Join us this Saturday in Garden City for our next Coffee & Kansas Voices event! #leadingkansas #kansasvoicesrising #civicaction #activism #beheard #wethepeople

➡️ Meeting schedule for the rest of August! #leadingkansas #civicaction #WeThePeople

🗳️ Regardless of political affiliation, this is a reminder that the strength of our democracy depends on fair maps and the ability of all citizens to have their votes count. #leadingkansas #VotersRights #WeThePeople #NoGerrymandering

📣 Membership Meeting – TOMORROW ➡️ Updates on District 1 outreach, Coffee & Kansas Voices kickoff, and our August Democracy Requires Dialogue silent protests. #leadingkansas #CivicAction #WeThePeople

☕️ Join Leading Kansas on Saturday in Salina for our first Coffee & Kansas Voices conversation event. Share your concerns and questions and connect with your Kansas neighbors! #leadingkansas #salina #salinakansas #coffeeandkansasvoices #community #WeThePeople #beheard

🇺🇸 The founders of our country regularly used dialogue to ensure that a variety of opinions and voices were heard. Why has that stopped? Join us for a silent protest against Ron Estes’ silencing of constituents and pay-for-participation “town halls”. #leadingkansas #ForThePeople #DoYourJob

➡️ Meeting tomorrow night! We will continue planning our efforts to work with District 1, especially Western Kansas. Come with an open mind, ready to focus on the work. We hope to see everyone there! #leadingkansas #civicaction #kansas

➡️ Did you know that Ron is technically making people pay to come to his next “town hall”? Yep, you have to be a member of the Chamber of Commerce to attend, which costs about $100 to join. Interesting choice! #leadingkansas #WeThePeople #representationmatters #representation #gross

🌾 “Kansas Voices Rising” is a collaboration between Leading Kansas and all Kansans. We are looking for personal stories on how current events have affected you and your life directly. 🔗 Application link: forms.gle/DWMJjgPJ7nmo... #leadingkansas #WeThePeople #shareyourstory #shareyourvoice #beheard

➡️ Kansans don’t appreciate silence or select meetings where people have to be part of a group to be heard. A basic duty of a civil servant is to listen to their constituents. Any and ALL of them! #leadingkansas #kansasvoicesrising #beheard #civicduty #accountability #WeThePeople

➡️ Our next meeting will focus on committees. Choose one you feel drawn to, then join us! ➡️ Committees: Communications & Public Relations, Design & Promotion, Fundraising, Legal, Outreach, Policy/Research/Public Education, Volunteer Coordination, Technology, Community Engagement #leadingkansas

➡️ Why is Leading Kansas important to our state? Because the power of the government is intended to rest WITH THE PEOPLE. Join us as we take back our right to be the government of Kansas! #leadingkansas #commonground #accountability #kansasvoicesrising #WeThePeople #ByThePeople #ForThePeople

🇺🇸 Stand up for democracy and humanity! Now is the time to decide what your values are. People or party politics? #leadingkansas #nonpartisan #humanity #democracy #WeThePeople #ByThePeople #ForThePeople

🌼 Wanted to use art to manage feelings, and this is the result! #artjournal #collage #mixedmedia #papercraft #papercrafting #craftersofbluesky #craftersgonnacraft #craft #handmade #journalling #selfexpression #crafttherapy #arttherapy

🙌 We express gratitude to Jondalyn Marshall from Root the Power for speaking at our town hall. The issues our country faces are absolutely personal. They affect real people, families, and lives. #leadingkansas #WeThePeople #ForThePeople #immigration #healthcare #civilrights

I appreciate the optimism of this parking validation machine

the most unexpected thing!! #art

🍔 Don’t forget: We won’t be at the library tonight! Hope to see everyone at 6:00 for a potluck at The Plum in Sedgwick County Park! #leadingkansas

➡️ Thank you to Pastor David Childs for supporting our town hall and sharing your wisdom with us! Let’s lead Kansas through the chaos and not add to it! #leadingkansas #budget #economy #strengthencommunities #WeThePeople

➡️ We are so grateful to Ms. Silva for joining our recent Town Hall with federal representatives. Our country has a long history of immigration, and most of us come from immigrant ancestry. #leadingkansas #immigration #immigrationreform #welcome #wethepeople

Republicans just took away your healthcare so they can fund their secret police: newrepublic.com/post/197612/...

➡️ This Wednesday will be a little different! Join us for a potluck and meeting at Sedgwick County Park. A sign up for the potluck is below, but buying and bringing something is not required to attend. Hope to see you there! 🔗 www.signupgenius.com/go/10C0549AF... #leadingkansas

🇺🇸 Wishing all Americans a Happy Independence Day. May we never forget the Constitution and those who died defending it. #leadingkansas #fourthofjuly #IndependenceDay #Constitution #wethepeople

🖤 Leading Kansas respectfully extends our deepest sympathies to those mourning the loss of Eric Tarpinian-Jachym, intern for Representative Ron Estes of Kansas. #leadingkansas #condolences
