Dear Friends & Allies,

In the face of constant headlines and a fast-moving legislative session, it’s easy to feel the weight of the world on our shoulders. We believe the fight for our democracy is only sustainable when we take the time to care for one another. We are focusing on the power of the 'long game'—balancing the urgent work of defending our vote with the vital work of building a community that can weather any storm. From our upcoming May Day celebration to the critical signature deadlines this weekend, there is a place for you in this movement. Let’s stand together, take a breath, and take action.

In Solidarity,

The We Stand United Missouri Team
