✊🏻 ✊🏽 ✊🏾 ✊🏿 STREETCAR WORKERS WON. 41–11. KC Streetcar operators, maintenance workers, and technicians voted to join Teamsters Local 955 — 79% of ballots cast. They called the Teamsters themselves. Nobody did it for them. Read More: buff.ly/n5v8uYf 1/4 🧵
Earlier this month, #MOworkers stood in solidarity with Menorah Medical Center workers and @seiuhcii members to send one clear message: invest in patients, not profits. Menorah is owned by the Hospital Corporation of America, the largest and wealthiest health system in the country.
In a city where more people are working, paying bills, and still struggling to stay housed, the affordable housing crisis is no longer someone else’s problem. It is Kansas City’s problem. buff.ly/1BO0Yym
🧵 1/6 Big Tech needs five things from Missouri to build a data center. Every one of them is ours.
Last night, our organizing led the St. Louis Planning Commission to reject the Board Bill 49 amendments — our communities over corporations. We showed up in numbers with testimony against 3 amendments that would've stripped protections for our water, bills, and say. 🧵1/2

Most people who skip an election don’t skip it on purpose. They just never found out where to go. You know someone like that. Send this to them, Election Day is tomorrow, August 4. voteroutreach.sos.mo.gov/portal
Yesterday’s vigil was a reminder that while we will forever mourn the loss of Glendy and Nixon, we must honor their memories by continuing to take bold action right now so this kind of tragedy never happens again.
Pastor Erika Gravely speaking now on the importance of community coming together and how we continue the work of Glendy and other leaders.
Dr. Chris Kilbride, Ritenour School District Superintendent, on how we keep our communities safe from ICE terror and their campaign of violence, separation and fear. We need our leaders to lead, not bend to authoritarianism.
"My job above all other items is to protect all 16,000 people who live here. And the thousands that work here. And the thousands who visit us... I don't believe signing a 287g agreement provides them with any comfort or safety. We will not sign that agreement."
Milton, leader with MWC Fuerza OC, speaks about Glendy and the fight for immigrant justice in Missouri.
Yery, leader with MWC Fuerza OC speaking to workers and neighbors here at Overland City Hall to remember Glendy Perez and her husband Nixon.
We are gathered at Overland City Hall for a vigil hosted by Fuerza organizing committee members with MWC to honor and celebrate the lives of Glendy Perez, Fuerza member, and her husband Nixon.
After 11 hours of the longest meeting ever: the Armory data center permit got re-approved with bare-minimum environmental conditions. The win is that it goes to the Board of Aldermen to vote next. So tell your Alderman to Vote NO. A no vote restarts the process so there are #NoMODirtyDataCenters
Strength. Confidence. Poise. That's Iana McCallister. That's Missouri Workers Center. That's what community leadership looks like when it's real. #MissouriWorkers #WorkerPower
Nobody hands workers power. You organize for it. You show up for it. You win it.
Thursday at 2:30pm be part of a Conversations with Cori: Climate & Data Centers edition. Big Tech wants Missouri's water, our power, and our tax dollars — and they want to decide without us. If we're paying, we deserve a say. RSVP & join the conversation: www.mobilize.us/coribush1/ev...
It's True. This country belongs to the people who build it, who clean it, who teach it, who heal it, who show up for it every single day — not to the greedy few who'd rather hoard it. Every worker who stands up proud in these moments is how we will build a better future together. #MissouriWorkers

@royals.com's John Sherman is an entitled billionaire, who thinks owning a baseball team means you can buy anything, but Kansas City is not for sale.
Let me explain something about how this works. The people of Kansas City have a right, written in their city charter, to vote on how their tax dollars are spent. fox4kc.com/sports/royals/royals-stadium-vote-effort-moves-forward-after-signatures-verified. #KCroyals #royalstaxscam #KC

This weekend has left us feeling invigorated. Experiencing the connecting between people that only the 4th can inspire. A reminder that America was designed for the people to have our shot at life if we put in the honest work. A country is never finished, it's handed forward. #july4th
Hope everyone is recovered From the weekend. Because we got bigger fireworks to set off.
Whether you're working on a farm, a factory floor, or in a hospital: you're part of the American story: hard working folks expect their country to work just as hard for them. A country is never finished — it's handed forward. #july4th #USA250 #independenceday
Amendment 5 raises the sales tax on everyone. Sales tax charges the same rate no matter what you make. But it takes a bigger bite out of the smaller paycheck. So who feels it more — a nurse or a CEO? The less you earn, the more it costs you. That’s the opposite of relief. #NoonAmendment5
