## Resource

Missouri is set to launch a groundbreaking Purple Alert system, modeled after Amber Alerts but tailored for individuals with developmental disabilities, thanks to a mom’s advocacy and a bipartisan push for safety. HB 1840, amended and poised for the governor’s signature this Tuesday, will empower communities to help locate vulnerable loved ones faster. Spearheaded by Danielle Rocha, whose non-verbal autistic twins inspired the initiative, and championed by Rep. Sherri Gallick, the bill prioritizes the most at-risk populations. With a ceremonial signing planned for later and full rollout expected in late August, this life-saving tool proves how one voice can spark systemic change.
