Join us at the state Capitol next Wednesday (9/10) to bring our fight for political representation to MO lawmakers’ doorstep! bit.ly/fightbackMO 📹 Reporting from @kctv5.com
“It was hard to miss!” Over a THOUSAND #MOworkers and allies skipped the BBQ and took a HUGE stand in Kansas City today! We fought Trump’s billionaire-backed power grab on Labor Day, and we’re protecting workers’ right to choose our own leaders this special session.
We’re hearing from @uaw.org Local 2250 leader Don Looney next!
“Donald Trump and his cronies know that if democracy is fair, the working class wins better contracts, better schools, and a better future. Because when workers stand together, NO billionaire, NO politician, NO rigged system can hold us back!” @uaw.org Local 249 leader Gary Thomas
MO Senate Minority Leader Doug Beck just took the mic!
“They want to take away our freedoms. They want to tell us how to live and who to love. Today we’re here saying: HELL NO!” Beverly Harvey, leader with @indivisiblekc.bsky.social
@mojwjva.bsky.social leader Dan Szyman is a member of AFGE Local 96 and a registered nurse serving veterans across St. Louis. He’s fighting for workers’ right to have real political representation that shares OUR values!
“400,000 workers like me just had our union contract torn in half! Who we elect into office makes a big difference in workers’ everyday lives, and that’s why it’s so important we stop this gerrymandering power grab!” Shaun Givens, VA worker and former President of AFGE Local 85
@indivisiblestl.bsky.social coordinator Laura Gordon is speaking loud and speaking proud 📢
“They want to steal our voice, our vote, our representation, and our power. That’s not right! It’s we the people, not we the billionaires. So we’re fighting back!” Katherine Stewart, Certified Nursing Assistant and union steward with @seiuhcii.bsky.social
“Our governor is illegally plotting to force our allies out of their elected positions and put more billionaires and their friends in power. So we are here to say NO!” @seiuhcii.bsky.social leader and nursing home worker Ramonda Watkins
When #StandUpKC leader and Wendys worker Fran Marion joined her coworkers to win paid sick days in #PropA, MO lawmakers betrayed her and stole the benefits away. Now she’s fighting their anti-worker power grab to protect her freedom, her family, and her future!
“We were already living in a kind of economic slavery. Now they are trying to put us in POLITICAL slavery too! Speaker Patterson: The people across KC; Black, white, or Brown; from Blue Springs to Lee’s Summit to Gladstone, REFUSE to be silenced or divided!”
Arianna Kimbrough, a restaurant worker, former Amazon #STL8 worker, and leader with @moworkers.org, collected signatures and knocked doors for #PropA. Now she’s fighting against MO lawmakers who sided with corporations that exploit us and overturned the will of the people!
“Stealing our paid sick days was the first in a series of moves to try and throw away our basic rights. What Gov. Kehoe, Speaker Patterson, and Pro Tem O’Laughlin are trying to illegally carry out would steal away our ability to have political representation AT ALL!”
For over a decade, #StandUpKC leader Terrence Wise joined workers across KC to fight for a $15 minimum wage, and we WON. He knows the power of collective action, and that’s why Terrence is now joining Black, white, and Brown #MOworkers to protect our democracy!
"An intact democracy is the ONLY way to guarantee workers the union rights, fair wages, and safe work we deserve. And multiracial worker organizing is the ONLY way we will defeat the billionaires and racists who seek to divide working people and dismantle our democracy!"
“We the People are rising up — Black, white, and Brown – and building our power because we feel the stakes of this moment for our democracy and our basic rights as working people!” @seiuhcii.bsky.social Political Director Lenny Jones

MWC and #StandUpKC leader Terrence Wise spoke to *over 500* workers and allies at our emergency public meeting last Wednesday to organize our fight against MO lawmakers’ illegal redistricting scheme. We won’t let them rig our congressional lines and divide our communities!
“It's an attack on our health care, our wages, unions, and women's rights!”
People like this are the reason we don’t get paid right, y’all! The only way we can get the wages and benefits we deserve is by using our strength in numbers to drown THEM out first! #MOworkers
zTrip CEO Bill George really thought he could drown out his workers’ voices when IRIS drivers launched their organizing campaign last October 🤡

🚨RALLY ALERT🚨 From Kansas City to St. Louis, #MOworkers won’t let state lawmakers ram through an illegal redistricting scheme that would break up our communities and silence our voices!

These lawmakers are violating the Constitution just to serve their own interests. That’s why we’re getting organized to remind them: Missourians don’t let politicians grab power for themselves without a fight.
No matter what we look like or where we’re from, most of us believe that voters should pick our leaders — not the other way around. But Gov. Kehoe, Speaker Patterson, and Pro Tem O' Laughlin are trying to redraw our districts to rig the system and put themselves first.
This week, hundreds of #MOworkers joined @mojwjva.bsky.social, @indivisiblekc.bsky.social, the Missouri Voter Protection Coalition, and community allies across the state to make clear: we’re not going to let President Trump and MO lawmakers silence our voices.

🔗 Read more about Darian’s story from The Community Voice www.communityvoiceks.com/2025/07/22/i... #MOworkers #DrivingChange
He’s fed up with the ridiculous fees zTrip execs charge drivers just to work! That’s why Darian joined his coworkers to launch a class action lawsuit and demand the overtime wages they deserve.
“We won’t stop until we win what we are owed and end the company’s abusive practices once and for all.” 😤 Darian Hall often works over 40 hours a week as a zTrip #IRIS driver, but he still has to sell his own plasma to make ends meet.

Gov. Mike Kehoe and state lawmakers might use cartoonishly evil tactics like preemption to overturn the wages we vote for, but workers will keep fighting for better pay and benefits. That’s how we won a $15 minimum wage, and we won’t stop there!
“We all go up or we go down together.” #StandUpKC leader Terrence Wise and #STL8 Organizing Committee leader Ash Judd spoke to @theklc.bsky.social about how #MOworkers always stand together, even in the face of setbacks.
From Missouri to Arizona, Amazon profits by exploiting all of us. That’s why we need every worker and community member fighting back shoulder-to-shoulder. By organizing their strength in numbers, Tucson made it clear: our communities are NOT for sale! 📢 #MOworkers #Solidarity
Solidarity with the people of Tucson, AZ who made history on Thursday when they shut down Project Blue, a massive data center proposal linked to Amazon that would threaten their water and energy supply!
We can either let the billionaires keep dividing us while we get left behind, or we can come together to demand the higher pay we’re owed! 💪 🔗 Read more from the @aflcio.org report at AFLCIO.org/PayWatch #MOworkers #FairWages
CEOs are getting richer and richer off our hard work, all while it’s getting harder to afford the kind of life our families deserve. But it doesn’t have to be this way!
What happens when an attorney and an organizer fighting against racism + for good jobs for all walk into a bar? 🤝 You get the Heartland Center for Jobs and Freedom. 🤝
THIS is what democracy looks like. #MOworkers
Paul Irving, an Amazon #STL8 worker and Organizing Committee member, riled up the crowd at our citywide BBQ this Sunday with a list of Amazon workers’ biggest organizing wins, from the warehouse floor to Capitol Hill! #MOworkers
“Every day, including today, we are growing a strong movement of our workers across the region who are making the company say YES to our demands — when they want to say no.”
Solidarity with every worker fighting for the higher pay and respect they’re owed! ⚙️✊ #1u
“Solidarity is our strength. This vote shows that when workers stand together, they can push back against corporate greed and fight for a better future for themselves and their families,” said IAM Resident General Vice President Jody Bennett.
🚨 HAPPENING NOW 🚨 #MOworkers stand with @iamunion.bsky.social District 837 workers on strike in St. Louis! About 3,200 Boeing workers are on the picket line now demanding a fair contract after an overwhelming majority voted to reject the company’s latest weak offer.
They know we’ll use our strength in numbers to force their hand, and that's how we're going to win the dignity and respect every Missourian deserves — no exceptions ✊🏾✊🏽✊🏻
The billionaires and racists get scared when Black, white, and Brown workers like us build relationships.
Yesterday, #MOworkers and St. Louis community members fired up the grill, broke bread, and celebrated our big wins and big dreams in the fight for fair treatment on the job and equal rights for all — no matter where we’re from, who we love, or what we look like!
HEARTLAND CENTER 🤝 LOW WAGE WORKER RIGHTS Listen to hear why class action lawsuits are powerful tools to help IRIS workers win their demands for overtime pay and proper worker classification. 🔗 in bio!
Frankie Thomas, an Amazon #DLI8 worker, is organizing with his coworkers to demand safer work and better pay — especially during the summer heatwaves! 🥵 #MOworkers #MakeAmazonPay #PrimeTimeFor25
“The thing I really don’t like at Amazon is the heat. If they’re making us work in this heat, we need higher wages and better work conditions. I’m in this fight to help people like me get through this nonsense that Amazon is putting us through!”
🔗 Read more about how extreme deportations could destroy 6 million jobs from @epi.org www.epi.org/publication/...
We deserve stable employment to lead full lives and provide for our families, but the Trump administration's deportation agenda would destroy millions of jobs for workers, no matter what we look like or where we were born.
🔗 Listen to Bakar’s full interview www.kcur.org/podcast/up-t... #MOworkers #StandUpKC #DrivingChange
#IRIS driver Bakar Mohamed told @kcur.org how zTrip sets drivers’ schedules and breaks, even though recruiters claim that drivers get to ‘be their own boss.’ That’s why IRIS drivers just took the company to court for the overtime pay they’re due and an end to predatory fees!
🎧 “This lawsuit will cover the injustices that were done to current and former drivers. We hope to recuperate overtime losses — which are in the thousands and thousands of dollars — that many drivers have lost out on.”
