This panel, displayed during a recent panel discussion to introduce people to members of the local transgender community, is one of four large quilt squares submitted by Missourians to be included in the “Freedom to Be” installation displayed on the National Mall on May 17 in Washington, D.C., by the American Civil Liberties Union. Taking inspiration from the AIDS Memorial Quilt, the installation was conceptualized as a declaration that trans people deserve the freedom to be loved, safe, and in control of their own health care decisions, according to the ACLU. The local square was submitted by Just Another Human.

The Heart of the Ozarks chapter of Indivisible has held weekly protests on Saturday afternoons on public property at the intersection of south U.S. 63 and U.S. 160 in West Plains. In this photo snapped April 26, about 15 people gathered with a focus on supporting veterans and responding to the planned layoff of tens of thousands of U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs employees who help administer healthcare and other veterans benefit programs. Participant and co-leader Jim Vokac, Willow Springs, said the group received some negative responses, but many honking in support were truck drivers whose livelihoods are being threatened by tariffs that will reduce the amount of freight being hauled. The local chapter is part of the larger nationwide grassroots Indivisible organization, focused on civil and voting rights and against economic policies it says are harmful to many U.S.citizens. Local Indivisible co-leader Barbara Nyden, also of Willow Springs, said the chapter will continue demonstrating each weekend in May with the theme “May We Succeed.” The “Indivisible: Heart of the Ozarks” group may be found on Facebook, or learn more about the national organization at indivisible.org.
