  • Mizzou Alumni Association Grassroots Toolkit
    GRASSROOTS LEGISLATIVE TOOLKIT 2011 March 8, 2011 Dear Tigers, One question I hear from chapter leaders in Missouri every time we talk is “What can I do at the chapter level to help the legislative goals?” The simple answer is “Be Inclusive and Take Action.” As we enter the new legislative year on the heels of the recent elections, I’d like to take a moment to present to you this toolkit for grassroots action and tell you about the Mizzou Legislative Network. The Mizzou Legislative Network is a grassroots lobbying coalition of alumni, students and friends of Mizzou who share a dedication to higher education and to Mizzou. Members are called upon to contact their legislators about specific issues and to relay a positive, consistent and constant message about all that Mizzou offers. Being inclusive is as simple as when you have an event, invite your legislators. If you send out a newsletter, mail it to your legislators as well as your alumni. When you have a watch party, invite your legislators. When legislators commit to attending, tell us. Some chapters host legislative roundtables/receptions and others invite the elected officials to address their board meetings. There are countless ways to build on your existing programming to be inclusive. What works for your chapter? We can help. Taking action on a legislative issue for some seems like a daunting task. For others, it’s second nature. That’s where the toolkit comes in! Some folks love to write a letter to the editor when the trash collector is 5 minutes off their route.

  • Building Bridges: an Anthology of the War on Prostitution and the Greater Women’S Movement in Kansas City
    BUILDING BRIDGES: AN ANTHOLOGY OF THE WAR ON PROSTITUTION AND THE GREATER WOMEN’S MOVEMENT IN KANSAS CITY A THESIS IN History Presented to the Faculty of the University of Missouri-Kansas City in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree MASTER OF ARTS by KAYLEE M. PEILE B.A., Quincy University, 2015 Kansas City, Missouri 2017 iii © 2017 KAYLEE M. PEILE ALL RIGHTS RESERVED iii BUILDING BRIDGES: AN ANTHOLOGY OF THE WAR ON PROSTITUTION AND THE GREATER WOMEN’S MOVEMENT IN KANSAS CITY Kaylee Marie Peile, Candidate for the Master of History Degree University of Missouri-Kansas City, 2017 ABSTRACT This research looks at Kansas City’s War on Prostitution in 1977 and the larger women’s movement of second-wave feminism throughout the 1970s and 1980s. The War on Prostitution makes the women’s movement in Kansas City unique because it brought together non-like-minded feminists despite their differences in ideology. A product of both oral history and traditional historical research, this work draws upon a large variety of primary sources including newspaper articles from the Kansas City Public Library, archived materials pertaining to women’s groups from the LaBudde Special Collections Archive at University of Missouri-Kansas City. At the core of the project is an oral history component of phone conversations and interviews with women who were active in varying areas of Kansas City public life, including politics, activism, and law during the early decades of the women’s movement. The interviews were conducted from August to November of 2017. Research also included secondary sources on the topic of second-wave feminism and feminist theory.
