Transform Outrage in Action: Deep Canvass Power Weekend
This legislative session in Missouri, and across the country, has been brutal. From attacks on LGBTQ+ rights to the ongoing fight over bodily autonomy, the message is clear: our freedom to exist, make decisions about our own bodies, and live with dignity is under threat.
If you’re feeling outraged, scared, or just done with it all, we’ve got a way to take action. Join PROMO for Deep Canvass Power Weekend. We’ll connect with neighbors, share stories, and shift hearts and minds — one honest conversation at a time. It’s powerful and it works!

Second Canvass: Saturday, May 31 @ 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Location: The Venues, 2616 E Battlefield Rd

Save Our Say - Rotunda, Jefferson City
2025-05-17 12:00 - 13:30 | Missouri Capitol, 201 W Capitol Ave, Jefferson City, MO, 65101, United States
Respect MO Voters and 50501 Missouri invite you to our SAVE OUR SAY

As Missouri legislators return home after undermining voter-approved amendments, we will gather to demand that our voices be heard and respected.
For over a century, Missourians have relied on the citizen initiative process to shape our state’s laws. That process is now under attack.
In April, Governor Kehoe signed SB22, also known as the “Let Politicians Lie Act.” This bill guts the initiative process, making it nearly impossible for everyday citizens to put measures on the ballot without political interference.
We are rallying to protect our democracy and support a proposed 2026 amendment that would: 1-Ban politicians from overturning voter-approved amendments 2-Protect the initiative process from added barriers 3-Stop misleading ballot language that manipulates voters
Together, we will send a clear message: We, the people, have the final say.
Event Highlights ✨ Guest Speakers ✨ Petitions, voter registration, calls & letters ✨ Circle of Unity ✨ Peaceful protest
Bring: Signs, voice, water, snacks, and comfortable shoes.

You’re invited to An Afternoon with Jess Piper!
Since Eric Burlison, our current representative in Missouri House District 07, has made it clear that he won’t participate in a legitimate, in-person town hall meeting, we’re bringing you a different candidate to talk about the issues at hand.
Jess Piper is a passionate advocate for rural communities and public education in Missouri. A former high school English teacher with 16 years of experience, Piper transitioned into politics driven by her commitment to ensuring that every Missourian has a voice in the legislative process.
In 2022, she ran as a Democratic candidate for Missouri House District 01, aiming to represent a district that hadn’t elected a Democrat in over three decades.
Beyond her candidacy, Piper serves as the Executive Director of Blue Missouri, an organization dedicated to supporting Democratic nominees for the Missouri state legislature. She also hosts the “Dirt Road Democrat” podcast, where she discusses issues facing rural Missourians and advocates for progressive policies.
Event will be held in the Joplin Public Library Community Room on May 31st as 2pm. All are welcome!
Brought to you by Southwest Missouri Democrats and Indivisible Joplin.

Join us on the steps of the Capitol building in Jefferson City as we honor the heroes of D-Day and all veterans who sacrificed everything to defeat fascism abroad.

We will not allow fascism to take root on American soil.
We stand in solidarity with the D-day veterans protest on the National Mall in Washington DC. Let’s remind the nation that we stand for freedom and democracy and that we respect and support our veterans!
