Missouri Jobs with Justice - Springfield-Ozarks Region
Since 1999, MO JWJ has shown up for workers across the state. We won minimum wage increases. We expanded Medicaid. We stop corporations from outsourcing our jobs and privatizing our public goods. We do big things. We Build Power - Together we win tangible victories for all working people: Black, Brown, and white. We work to build power through action and strong relationships that are rooted in justice, equity, and solidarity. We don’t do the work as performance. We perform the work to build real power and real wins for all of us. We Organize Together - We work to build workplaces, neighborhoods, cities, states, and a country where each of us have what we need for a safe and healthy life from cradle to grave. We show up for each other no matter what zip code you live in, what job you have, where you’re from, who you love, or what race you are. We Name Names - There is a small group of wealthy white people working to keep the rest of us divided so they can call all the shots. They don’t want to see working people working together, and they definitely don’t want to share what should be rightfully ours.
That’s why we run campaigns. We confront abuse and injustice. We get our issues in the news and on the ballot. We build relationships. We build consciousness. And we build collective power to force them to do what’s right.
PROMO - Equality in Missouri
PROMO is Missouri's statewide 2SLGBTQ+ advocacy organization, working to protect and uplift the lives of queer and trans Missourians through public policy, community organizing, and education. We are rooted in the belief that everyone - no matter their gender identity, sexual orientation, race, or zip code - deserves safety, dignity, and the freedom to thrive. We show up where it counts: the Capitol, in classrooms, in congregations, and at kitchen tables. Whether we're fighting discriminatory legislation, training the next generation of community leaders, or helping local communities push for inclusive policies, our work is focused on building long-term power for our most impacted communities.
Missouri is a state in which LGBTQ+ people – every race, ethnicity, demographic, zip code, and experience – are valued and thriving.
RED, WINE & BLUE
Red Wine and Blue is a national community of over half a million diverse suburban women working together to defeat extremism, one friend at a time. We train and connect women from across the country of all political backgrounds – including many who have never been political before – to get sh*t done and have fun along the way. Join us!
Feeling overwhelmed? We get it. We’ve all got so many issues on our minds right now. We don’t tell Red Wine & Blue women what to care about – you tell us what matters most to you. And remember, when they go low, we go local. So we’re especially focused on the impact these issues have on our local communities.
Women Organizing Women. Welcome to the Party.
Respect Missouri Voters
We are a growing a movement of people that want to change the way government works in Missouri by allowing voters to change the Missouri Constitution and safeguard those changes from meddling politicians. We mobilize Missourians who want to keep this power in our own hands. We will protect, strengthen, and use the citizen initiative process to ensure a government of, by, and for the people—not for the politicians.
URGENT: We are recruiting volunteers to gather signatures to be able to place our initiative to save the process of intitiatives on the ballots, this legislation will be on the November 2026 ballot IF we get enough signatures now. Sign up to volunteer - we need you!
Together, we can BAN politicians from: Interfering with initiatives that voters have already passed. Attacking citizens' ability to use the initiative process. Manipulating language on ballots to trick and mislead voters.
PSL - Party for Socialism and Liberation
PSL believes that the only solution to the deepening crisis of capitalism is the socialist transformation of society. Driven by an insatiable appetite for ever greater profits regardless of social cost, capitalism is on a collision course with the people of the world and the planet itself. Imperialist war; deepening unemployment and poverty; deteriorating health care, housing and education; racism; discrimination and violence based on gender and sexual orientation; environmental destruction—all are inevitable products of the capitalist system itself. For the great majority of people in the world, including tens of millions of workers in the United States, conditions of life and work are worsening. There is no prospect that this situation can or will be turned around under the existing system.
The idea that the capitalists’ grip on society and their increasingly repressive state can be abolished through any means other than a revolutionary overturn is an illusion. Equally unrealistic are reformist hopes for a “kinder, gentler” capitalism, or solutions based on economic decentralization or small group autonomy. Meeting the needs of the more than 6.5 billion people who inhabit the planet today is impossible without large-scale agriculture and industry and economic planning.
The fundamental problems confronting humanity today flow from the reality that most of the world’s productive wealth—the product of socialized labor and nature—is privately owned and controlled by a tiny minority. This minority decides what will be produced and what will not. Its decisions are based on making profits rather than meeting human needs.
There are really only two choices for humanity today—an increasingly destructive capitalism, or socialism.

Stop Project 2025 USA
We are a grassroots organization formed to create events that are focused on stopping the terrible results and plans of Project 2025. Project 2025 is an over 900-page roadmap to seize power by expanding presidential power by eliminating all checks, balances, and oversight to radically restructure our government and country into an ultra-conservative vision of the United States. Project 2025 was published in 2023 by the Heritage Foundation, an ultra-conservative think tank funded by the Koch brothers, with over 140 former Trump staffers as writers. The Heritage Foundation also wrote a “Mandate for Leadership” with Trumps’ first administration completing 64% of it.
Please join us at our many events! We have weekly events as well as other events throughout the month. We also collaborate with other groups in our area to provide events for our Community Members.
PLEASE join us by going to the website and email us.
We Stand United - Jefferson City
We Stand United is a platform for people to connect, organize, and act as one voice against power shifts that threaten our communities. Born from the need to bridge divides, we empower everyday Americans to shape a future rooted in justice, equity, and resilience.
We share a profound concern for the state of our democracy. The actions of the executive branch threaten the principles that uphold our identity as a free and fair society. Judges face intimidation, dissenting voices are silenced, and the foundations of our democratic system are being dismantled.
Meaningful change doesn’t start in Washington—it begins in cities and towns like ours, with people like us. The only way to defend democracy is by standing together at the local level—organizing, speaking out, and taking action.
Let’s join forces, roll up our sleeves, and get to work—because real, lasting change starts with us!
