📍Platte and Clay Counties, Missouri Fighting for freedom, equality, and justice for all in Kansas City's Northland region and beyond.
Nearly 200,000 Democratic voters in MO-5 are at risk of their voting power being diluted if Gov. Kehoe and the Missouri GOP bend the knee to Trump. Gerrymandering MO-5 to favor Republicans is not strategic, it's cheating. And it's un-American. #DonaldTrump #Gerrymandering #Missouri #MO5 #Congress
This is exactly what happened last November. Dear Missouri Republicans: a regressive candidate and a progressive initiative don't mix. Forget about party loyalty, and think before you vote. #Missouri #KCMO #Voting #Elections #Progressive #Democrats #Republicans
Let's call this for what it is: a genocide. The ethnic cleansing of the Palestinian people. The horrific actions by the Israeli military should infuriate you. This is not political, this is about standing up for humanity, and for oppressed people outside of the US, too. #Palestine #Israel #US #KCMO
There's a common narrative that makes Missouri sound like a "deep red" state. While the state does have a massive conservative base, we can't discount the fact that Democrats make up a very large portion of registered voters. Missouri isn't as conservative as it may seem! #Democrats #Missouri #Vote
As Missourians, who are also in a state under attack by gerrymandering, we should proudly stand with the Texas Democrats who broke quorum to protect democracy and the voting power of millions. This is what resistance looks like! #Missouri #Gerrymandering #Texas #Democrats #Resist #GOP
A map of confirmed ICE activity in the Kansas City metro based on available information from airrkc.org , an incredible organization advocating for our local immigrant community. Stay vigilant and stay safe. #ICE #Immigrants #HumanRights #KansasCity #Missouri #Kansas #StayInformed
That's it. That's the post. #Immigrants #ICE #KansasCity #Missouri #ProtectImmigrants #ImmigrantsWelcome
Gov. Kehoe wasted no time to ban DEI programs in state agencies, and now he seems to be struggling with condemning white supremacy. I think we all can connect the dots. #MikeKehoe #Missouri #GOP #MOgovernor #SilenceIsViolence #Dismantle #KansasCity
Transparency matters. Here's some info about the money behind Missouri Senators Josh Hawley and Eric Schmitt. #CampaignFunds #Transparency #JoshHawley #EricSchmitt #MissouriPolitics #MissouriSenators
Missouri is... #33 in Education #37 in Infrastructure #43 in Crime #43 in Healthcare We've had Republican governors since 2017 and a Republican-dominated House and Senate since 2003. Who's really the problem? #Missouri #GOP #StatePolitics #RedStates
It's time! There are several locations in the region hosting Good Trouble Lives On events tomorrow. Let's show up and show out for this national day of action!✊ "Get in good trouble, necessary trouble, and help redeem the soul of America." - Rep. John Lewis
What the GOP is doing right now is not normal. The extremism, cruelty, and corruption is dangerous and disturbing. If we want a better future, we must vote them out so overwhelmingly that they can’t come back. They’ve failed America enough. No more chances. #VoteBlue #SaveAmerica #GOP #ImpeachTrump
A world without bi and trans people has never existed and never will. Regardless of the Trump administration's recent actions to further remove their representation, bi and trans people are here to stay. #Pride #LGBTQ+ #StopErasure #Equality #HumanRights #EmbraceDiversity
Let's breakdown how the Northland voted in 2024🗳️Although the region might not lean left as heavily as Jackson County or the St. Louis metro, it is still one of Missouri's few key swing areas, full of residents who embrace diversity, equality, and change. #KansasCity #ElectionResults #2024Election
Today, Gov. Kehoe will be signing a bill that repeals paid sick leave as well as a bill that stops the planned minimum wage increase. Both of these initiatives were approved by voters last November. This is disgusting. We won't forget, and we won't forgive. #Missouri #Politics #MikeKehoe #Voters
Missouri AG Andrew Bailey says he's appealing a Jackson County judge’s July 3rd decision that allowed abortions to resume in the state. The Missouri GOP will work overtime to destroy what voters have rightfully and legally passed. How atrocious. #AndrewBailey #MissouriPolitics #AbortionRights #MO
A line from Dr. King's "Letter From Birmingham Jail" in 1963. Nearly 62 years later, his words are just as true today as they were then. No one is free until we are ALL free. ✊ #MartinLutherKingJr #Equality #Injustice #KansasCity #KCMO #Missouri #Politics #KCNorthland #VoteBlue #SaveDemocracy
After months of AG Pam Bondi hyping up the release of a "client list" that was "sitting on (her) desk" and a "truckload" of Epstein materials, the DoJ says the client list doesn't exist. Hmmm. I wonder why... #EpsteinFiles #CoverUp #DonaldTrump #PamBondi
Recognizing any privilege you or others may have is a crucial step in the fight for democracy. None of us are free until ALL of us are free. #Privilege #Education #USPolitics #Vote #BigBeautifulBill
The only good thing that could come out of Elon Musk's "America Party" is that hopefully it will split the Republican votes and end this madness in 2028. #ElonMusk #Trump #AmericaParty #EndFascism #VoteBlue
A far-right, male-only, hate group called The Old Glory Club has been growing across the US recently, with a chapter in Kansas and St. Louis. They're made up of active & retired military personnel, lawyers, civil servants, and more. Please be cautious & aware. #FarRight #Missouri #Kansas #HateGroup
Remember them. These are the Missouri GOP reps and senators who voted for the Big Ugly Bill. They could've stood up for not only Missourians, but millions of Americans nationwide. Instead they chose to cave to Trump. They have betrayed us. VOTE THEM OUT. #MissouriGOP #BigBeautifulBill #SaveMedicaid
Protest at Mill Creek Park in Kansas City today. Power to the people! #July4th #FreeAmerica #KansasCity #Protests #Resist
Let's make our voices heard and show Trump what true democracy looks like. See you there KC. #KansasCity #FreeAmerica #Protests #WomensMarch #Activism
Trump’s Big Ugly Bill will devastate Missouri if it passes. It’s a deliberate attack on working families, veterans, women, and communities big and small across our state. And don’t forget, senators Josh Hawley and Eric Schmitt proudly voted in support of this yesterday. #BigBeautifulBill #Missouri
