🔥 55 HOURS on the Missouri House floor.
Republicans tried to rig our democracy with a Trump-ordered gerrymander. They broke the rules. They walked out.
We decided to sit-in the people of Missouri walked IN.
Neighbors from small towns have been driving to the Capitol bringing food, supplies, and the reminder that this fight is bigger than us.
This isn’t just a sit-in. It’s a stand for every voter they’re trying to silence. We’re not tired. We’re not backing down. And we’re not leaving.
⏰ 70 HOURS on the Missouri House floor!
We just wrapped an interview on @MSNBC but the real work is right here in Missouri.
Republicans tried to silence us with a Trump-ordered gerrymander. They broke the rules. They walked out. We stayed.
And we’re still here. Excited. Energized. Ready to get back to work if Republicans actually show up.
This isn’t just a sit-in anymore it’s a movement. And we’re not leaving until every voice is heard.
.@RayReedMO, @JeremyDean4Mo, and @ElizabethFuchs hosted a sit-in inside the Missouri legislative chamber all weekend to protest Trump and Republicans’ craven gerrymandering scheme.
Democrats won’t back down when democracy is under threat.

“The Constitution means nothing? Nothing?” asked Rep. Elizabeth Fuchs, D-St. Louis. “We need a quorum to do business.” @ElizabethFuchs #moleg
