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

Power comes from the people. Full stop. If your vote didn't matter, they wouldn't be trying this hard to change it. Vote No on Amendment 4. #missouri #noon4

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

One proposed Missouri data center could drain enough water to supply hundreds of homes. Families, farms, and hospitals need that water first. We can't drink data.

Pretty wild how often Missouri voters need a court order just to get ballot language that says what the ballot measure ACTUALLY does. Abortion. Taxes. Redistricting. More. Democracy works better when deceptive politicians aren’t allowed to hide the ball. www.kcur.org/politics-ele...

Missouri courts keep rewriting 'unfair' ballot language as fights over direct democracy intensify

Judges increasingly have found that official summaries from Missouri election officials fail to tell voters what ballot measures would actually do — forcing rewrites on amendments about abortion, redi...

No, Kansas City Cannot Rush Royals Financing to Beat a Petition Vote

Kansas City Mayor Lucas told KCMO Talk Radio on Thursday morning that, basically, the city is going to ignore the petitions submitted with 4,500 signatures to the city clerk requiring […]

The mayor’s response to the stadium petition is deeply disrespectful & undemocratic The will of the people is not some obstacle to get around Sorry @mayorq.bsky.social, you don't just get to decide to ignore us. You and @royals.com billionaire John Sherman are no kings. #NoKings #RoyalTaxScam

“Authoritarianism is happening right in our backyard, y’all. We can’t wait for these things to just magically change. We need to tax the rich and win an economy that puts workers over billionaires!”

🗞MWC leader and Kalid's Coffee worker Shayne Clegg in @npr.org: “Workers in this country are fed up. We're tired. We're facing a lot of issues from this current authoritarian regime that we are under. Billionaires are getting all of the control. Workers are suffering.”

“We are NOT the enemy! A fascist regime is. The corporations squeezing us are. The racist state lawmakers stealing our freedoms are.” 📣 Kaldi’s Coffee worker Iana McAllister joined the nationwide day of disruption on May Day because she knows the power of collective action.

“[May Day] is an important day to show our power as workers. We make up the majority of the country, the working class, and we're not being treated well. So we want to see some changes.” MWC leader and Kaldi's Coffee worker Shayne Clegg spectrumlocalnews.com/mo/st-louis/...
