We work at the intersection of race, economy, political power, gender, and the structures of oppression at work within us individually, within our organization and within the community.
We are working towards building *people’s* control of the government, building community control of the economy, expanding the public sphere, and creating structural racial equity.

The Missouri legislative session is in full swing and today we talk about the attempts by the legislature to stifle the teaching of historical truth in classrooms and the attempt to change the initiative petition process. Our guests are J-MO, Organizer & Lead Campaign Strategist for MCU, and Allyn Harris Dault, a leader with the MCU Legislative Task Force.
