🚨Ann Wagner, alongside the Republicans in Congress, is standing by as unelected foreign billionaires strip our American institutions to the studs and sell us for parts MO Dems fight for MO’s working families. MO Republicans obey their rich friends #moleg #mo02

We passed Proposition A way back in November. We shouldn't have to fight for this after voters have made it clear. Workers deserve dignity and respect. Paid sick leave is a start. Arguing against that is despicable and smells like oppression.

If President Trump can wrongly deport a Maryland father to a prison in El Salvador and then defy a 9-0 Supreme Court order to facilitate bringing him home, who’s next? This threatens the rights and freedoms of everyone in the United States.

Here we go again.... Missouri voters were clear when #Amendment3 passed. HBs 1072 and 1417 "to abolish abortion" are in direct opposition to Amendment 3 and attack our right to abortion and reproductive freedom. I encourage you all to testify ASAP. witness.house.mo.gov/Default.aspx...

It was sickening to watch. We You have time to submit testimony online! Until midnight! Say NO to HJR73! Voters must be respected. It's very simple. witness.house.mo.gov/Default.aspx...

It's a game of #whack-a-mole at this point. 🙄 #HJR73 would repeal #Amendment3 and undermine the will of #Missouri voters. We were clear that we won't stand for bans on #abortion. house.mo.gov/Bill.aspx?bi... Submit #testimony until midnight on 4/9. witness.house.mo.gov/Default.aspx...

IP spoofing is as real as caller ID spoofing. 📲

Ope. Oopsies.

Missouri voters and taxpayers are being undermined and disrespected as we speak! ⏳️ Make your voice heard before midnight! ⏳️ Efforts to overturn Prop A have brought forth HB 567, an ugly bill that strikes out basic rights to more fair wages and sick leave. These are things that VOTERS demanded. ...

Ahmaud Arbery's life was stolen by violence and hatred fueled by racism and fear. May the anniversary of his passing serve as a stark reminder that we must confront injustice head-on and fight for a world where Black lives are truly valued, protected, and free to exist without fear.

Just finished my 1st meeting with fellow #DemandaSeat Recruitment Leads! Do you live in #Missouri? Do you believe in common sense gun safety laws? If you have ANY interest in running for office or helping on campaigns I am your gal. Give me a shout! @momsdemand.bsky.social @everytown.bsky.social

Voters know what they passed. These bills aiming to give voters the ability to "decide again" are a waste of time and taxpayers' resources. Several repeatedly implied the language wasn't vetted or challenged - it was. Missouri voters deserve to be truly represented, and the GOP is missing the mark.

Y'all Greene County is here to represent. Stephanie Hein from Missouri's 136th district. Give her a follow. @heinformissouri.bsky.social

🚨HEY MISSOURI 🚨 I need your help again! Today at 4:30 pm (or upon adjournment of afternoon session) the House General Laws Committee is prepared to hear 3 terrible gun bills - #HB328, #HB434 and #HB459. You can submit your online testimony opposing these bills until midnight tonight. #MoLeg 1/

Because of lawmakers like David Gregory, who are writing bills for bounties on other humans, a 25-year-old Missouri man kidnapped and assaulted a woman in southern Missouri while demanding she show her papers. This is the world they want us to live in. Bigots. missouriindependent.com/2025/01/28/m...

www.senate.mo.gov/LegisLookup/... Anyone in Missouri can enter their address and find their legislator. Their Senator's phone number is on their bio page, in the right hand column. There is also a link to email to your elected. Take time to make your opinion heard. - cont'd

#NAACP #Springfield and partners organized a fantastic series of events today, starting with a march. It was cold, but not cold enough to keep us still. #KeepMoving #MartinLutherKingJrDay

Creating an issue with intent to solve it so favor can be earned is NOT called being a hero or a leader. In fact...

Did it work? Are we safer? 🤔 Asking for these kids.

Feel free to share…it started in 2020.

I am such a believer in this. Down-ballot is the way. It’s also how we build a sustainable future of good leaders and infrastructure to elect and support them, as well as the movements they represent. We don’t just need strong candidates. We need strong organizers, managers, CoS, grassroots, etc.
