During the #SOTU2020, we thought we’d share some about the State of #MO08 (spoiler: it’s dire).

Join us at 8pm CT here. Okay folks, we’re getting ready for our live tweet thread during the #SOTU2020. We’ll be talking about the economy, jobs, & health care situation in #MO08.

Ready? 💪🏼

A few months ago, we had the crazy idea to ask our lead volunteers to organize community forums. They decide the topic, date, location, and panelists.

We did this bc we believe that campaigns often ask too little of volunteers who are, in our view, true community organizers 1/4 We also believe that when people in rural areas have a choice on issues, they vote for change. We saw this w/ raising the wage, campaign finance reform, and medical marijuana - all which passed in the 8th.

It was time to bring the convos to the people. 2/4
