We are a group of local Mid-Missouri progressives working to recruit, train, and support political candidates who share our progressive ideals and platform.
I am so inspired by the young people mobilizing and organizing to put people before polluters, combat climate change, and lead a transition to clean energy. You have the power to change America and this world. https://t.co/iNza7nBmdj
We owe so much to the trade union movement. As often as not, the rights we often now take for granted were won through struggle by the trade union movement. https://t.co/mSnyB0Aghk
Let me be clear: class warfare goes on in the United States right now. The richer are getting much richer, the poor are getting poorer, and the middle class is disappearing. https://t.co/3gbSH1nq3i
Wall Street, billionaires, and corporations are organized and have led this massive redistribution of wealth to help the rich get even richer. It’s time for the working class to organize and fight back.
The prison economy rests on an opaque, often unaccountable economic infrastructure, with its own private-equity financiers, holding companies, and multinational executives. https://t.co/ZDEHFiiD9l

Pass the No Money Bail Act of 2018. Almost one quarter of the people locked up in the United States -- which leads the world in locking people up -- have not been convicted of any crime. Take action with @Roots_Action https://t.co/XMgI9dAXhI
To build an equal & just society, Members of Congress must support bold progressive policies that address the public health & environmental crises that are ripping our country apart.

The same billionaire-backed bad folks behind the Janus case are coming after home care workers and our unions. Stand with home care workers fighting for their union rights, quality care, and better outcomes for all: https://t.co/bh0MgJ0De6 #FightFor15
Wins in the short-term are important milemarkers and necessary to building power.
But you can’t be afraid of loss. Fear keeps people from accomplishing great things.
Last week, @AbdulElSayed gave me a card with this quote by Teddy Roosevelt.
Here’s to the heroes in The Arena.
"There are so many medical GoFundMe pages at this point that I can't imagine if pre-existing condition protections got repealed. We'd all be asking our family and friends for money." —Sarah Rentz, 32 year old breast cancer survivor.
Most dangerous threat "in human history”? That-correctly-pits today’s @GOP against some pretty heavy competition. And, of course, there’s always this… https://t.co/8wy385f9RQ
Noam Chomsky: Today's @GOP is 'the most dangerous' threat to the species 'in human history'.
If you vote for any GOP candidate, you’re complicit. https://t.co/Gxa3S7AM4u
Come on, @BooneCountyMO! Decisions on new voting machines should be decided BY the public IN public. Afraid of something? Thx for publishing this Letter to Ed @CoMissourian. https://t.co/MYjuEYKRzw
Immense victory for labor: Missouri voters resoundingly killed the GOP's new 'right-to-work' law in a labor-organized veto referendum. (AP just called it.) Especially meaningful 6 weeks after the SCOTUS's Janus ruling.
