This week's Substack is about communications, and I laid out a short, simple plan that anyone can use. @missouridemocrats.bsky.social @indivisiblestl.bsky.social @democrats.org

Dr. Amber Benge will begin the meeting with an updated presentation of the "5 Things You Can Do Now," which reflects the changing political world we live in. Laura Gordon will close the meeting with a discussion of Indivisible's goals for the year ahead. Register: www.mobilize.us/dashboard/in...

Here’s the new Substack article.

No Kings, St. Louis County, MO. Torrential rain and thunderstorms didn’t stop us. People standing up for one another is how we defeat this regime. #nokings @indivisiblestl.bsky.social @stldems.bsky.social

My new Substack post. This one means the most to me. This one is for my friend Christy.

After a filibuster by Missouri Senate Democrats, Republicans shut down debate and forced a vote passing #HB1 (gerrymandering) using the PQ motion. Immediately after, before debate even began for #HJR3 (IP process) they did the same and passed it. Not allowing any debate. #MoLeg

I wrote this 3 months ago. There’s a pattern. open.substack.com/pub/abenge/p...

🧵Tomorrow (9/4) the Missouri GOP will hold public hearings as part of their attempt at illegally gerrymandering our congressional districts & gutting our citizen-led initiative petition process. Follow & share this thread for steps YOU can take to fight back. Because… fuck those fascists. #MoLeg 1/

This is my letter to all of us…including myself. It’s about ego and organizing.

New Substack Post Is Live: Today, I’m diving into something hard, honest, and necessary, with the driving question being: Why do so many people so easily accept authoritarianism?

“Just like the love and unity that saved that old building and loan, it’s the same love and community that can save America. And it’s worth every fight, every struggle, and every ounce of organizing we have to give.”

New Substack and today we are talking religion.

HUGE turnout in Ballwin, MO! The initial count was 1486 people and another 600+ people showed up after the count. I am in awe that over 2000 people joined together in the cold rain to stand up for our country. We were very close to Wagner’s office.😉 Thank you to EVERYONE who helped and showed up!
