At your job, you don't get to pick your boss. Politicians shouldn't get to pick theirs either. Prop A is Jeff City's mid-decade map, and it splits Kansas City three ways. Over 300,000 Missourians signed to put it on the ballot, and the Supreme Court ruled unanimously that we get to vote on it.

Peanut butter and jelly. Toasted ravioli and St. Louis. Missouri and voting YES on Amendment 6. Some things just go together. Like Missouri voters and having our vote actually count. Vote YES on Amendment 6 on the Missouri ballot this November 3. Register to vote in Missouri by October 7.

Jon Patterson and Flock, that company tracking your license plate, sound a lot alike 📸 Flock: "…while allowing law enforcement to continue using technology." Patterson: "…a framework that allows law enforcement to use this technology."

You told him three times: with paid sick days, the Everything Tax, and Amendment 4. Jon Patterson didn't listen once. Now he wants a seat in the State Senate. He needs to go. Vote November 3. Not in his district? Send this to someone who is. 🗳️

1/4 You voted for paid sick days. They took them away in six months. In 2024, 1.69 million of us said yes to paid sick days and raises that keep up with the cost of living. Then in 2025, Jon Patterson led the charge in Jefferson City to repeal them. Nobody asked us.

If the new Royals stadium comes up short, who pays? Not the Royals. Kansas City plans to borrow $600 million for the ballpark and pay it back with tax money that doesn't exist yet. If that money never shows up, the Royals have "no obligation to repay." The city does. That means us.

We keep having to explain this one, so here it is plainly. In 2025 Missouri politicians redrew our congressional map because Trump asked them to. Same legislature that threw out the paid sick days we voted for in 2024.

Ernest Calloway refused to treat the union card and the ballot as 2 separate fights. So his union didn't stop at the shop floor: Local 688 trained hundreds of community stewards members who organized at work, then went home and organized their own block. He called it total person unionism.

Arianna knocked doors and gathered signatures to win minimum wage and paid sick leave for Missouri workers back in '24. Amendment 4 would make direct ballot measures nearly impossible, and Amendment 5 would raise prices on working families She’s here to tell you why we need to vote NO on both 🗳️✊🏾

If Amendment 5 passes, we'll be paying a higher sales tax on everything we do. Brenda knows Amendment 4 doesn't just raise taxes. It makes life unaffordable for working Missourians. Raising the cost of Rent. Groceries. Childcare, the list goes on. 🔴 Vote NO on Amendment 5. 🔴 #Amendment5NO
