Speaking Truth
To Power
Meet Alberta Slavin, founder of the consumer movement in Missouri in the 1970s. Alberta was appointed by Gov. Teasdale as the first consumer advocate to head the Missouri Public Service Commission, and later became the “On Your Side” consumer reporter for CBS, Channel 4.
I believe ordinary citizens, banding together, can make a difference.

📢 Testifying at the upcoming Spire Public Hearing?
Make Your Voice Count with These 4 Tips from Jackie Hutchinson, Director of Advocacy at Consumers Council of Missouri:
🔥 Spire wants to raise your gas rates. Public hearings are your chance to speak up.
Here’s how to make the greatest impact:
🔹 1. Sign Up to Testify As Soon As You Arrive
Get on the list early to make sure you're heard.
🔹 2. Don’t Use the Q&A to Testify
Q&A is for questions only. Save your story for the official testimony portion.
🔹 3. Share Your Personal Story During Testimony
How would a rate hike affect your family, your bills, or your neighborhood? Your lived experience matters.
🔹 4. Testimony Starts When You're Sworn In
That’s your moment to speak directly to the Public Service Commission.
📍Attending a Spire hearing soon?
