A KIFA Day Reflection from Rev. Amanda Baker
From Rev. Amanda Baker: “At KIFA Day, while we were discussing the lived realities of his vote for SB 244 and again to override the governor’s veto of it, Senator Mike Argabright asked me what I would say to the folks who feel very strongly in favor of it, because it’s “very emotional on both sides.”
I said, “As United Methodists, we sum up the basics of our call to faithful living in three rules: Do No Harm, Do Good, and Stay in love with God…”
SB 244 Goes into Effect: Anti-trans Cruelty Unleashed
Trans people in Kansas began to receive letters yesterday stating that, due to the passage of SB 244, their drivers licenses are void beginning today, and that if they drive on them they risk arrest for a Class C misdemeanor, punishable by up to a $1000 fine or six months in jail. Trans Kansans will have to get to the DMV and pay for their own new identification, which will misgender them. No warning, no grace period -- just that if you DWT (drive while trans) with a gender marker which matches your gender identity, you risk arrest….
No Qualified Immunity for ICE!
ACTION ALERT!
ICE is terrorizing communities across the country. We must not allow ICE agents even more power.
Contact your legislators now and ask them to vote NO on SB 452.
Protect Immigrants!
ACTION ALERT!
SB 254 is a xenophobic attempt to surveil and take away benefits from immigrants, like in-state tuition and SNAP assistance, benefits that some residents are eligible for even without US citizenship. It expands state power in ways that harm families, destabilize communities, and betray our legacy of freedom, fairness, and equal treatment under the law.
SB 254 is unnecessary, costly, and morally corrosive. Kansas can and must do better.
Take action now to tell your legislators: Protect Immigrants!
Respond to SB 244!
ACTION ALERT!
SB244 puts into law inaccurate definitions relating to gender that will be used to discriminate broadly and create unsafe environments for trans, intersex, and gender diverse individuals.
Take action now to “shame or acclaim” your lawmakers about how they voted on this bill.
Protect Voting Rights!
ACTION ALERT!
HB 2438 would ban online voter registration tools unless personally endorsed by the Kansas Secretary of State and take away local control of election officials by banning them from accepting online voter registration from anywhere the SOS hasn't personally endorsed.
Take action now to tell your legislators: DON’T ban online voter registration!
End-of-Session Report
In the original Jurassic Park, the Jeff Goldblum character famously says that the scientists “were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn’t stop to think if they should.” And I think we could say the same about Kansas’ legislative leadership this year…
In Remembrance of Pope Francis (1936-2025)
Pope Francis was, first and foremost, a Christian pastor. Both words are important. He defined himself as a man who knew and loved the person of Jesus of Nazareth. For Francis, Jesus was always the center of everything. Here is how he stated it in his pivotal Apostolic Exhortation, The Joy of the Gospel…
