Missouri Jobs with Justice Voter Action brings people together to build power so working families—Black, Brown, and White—can truly succeed. We make sure politicians answer to the people, not just the wealthy. We help workers turn their strength on the picket line into power at the voting booth. We organize all year long because our voices matter every single day, not just on Election Day, whenever leaders make choices that affect our jobs, our families, and our futures.
We are fighting for a Missouri where working people—Black, Brown, and White—hold the power to shape our future, not the billionaires who rig the economy to get richer while we struggle to survive. We want an economy built for us, not one stacked so that billionaires hoard wealth while working families can’t get ahead. We envision a state where working class people, union members, students, faith leaders, and everyday neighbors stand together to take back control from wealthy elites and the politicians who ignore the will of the people. In our Missouri, the ballot belongs to us—not the billionaires buying influence and not the politicians who refuse to listen when we speak.
Putting Power in the People’s Hands
We can’t count on an out-of-balance legislature to deliver what working families need. That’s why we are the grassroots leader in bringing the voices of everyday Missourians directly to the ballot. We have led and supported campaigns to raise the minimum wage, expand Medicaid, clean up democracy, and restore abortion rights. We fight to protect our constitutional right to the initiative petition process and empower voters to address the issues that shape their lives — because when the legislature won’t act, the people must.
From Commitments to Consequences
We are going beyond just talking about issues; we are meeting candidates face-to-face and demanding they make real promises to help working families. We are telling voters to look past just the problems on the ballot and ask: “Who is running, and will they stand with us or sell us out?” Before, during, and after Election Day, we use every tool we have to make sure these candidates keep their word and answer to the people who elected them.
Organizing That Outlasts Any Election
Our work doesn’t start at the polls and it doesn’t end there. We organize alongside union members, students, faith leaders, and everyday Missourians to build lasting political power rooted in community — not campaign cycles. We contribute to a broader statewide table of organizations and political committees throwing down to win big in August and November, and we stay in the fight long after the votes are counted.
We are building power so working people can win. Everything we do—knocking doors, spreading the word, supporting candidates, running ballot campaigns, and confronting politicians face-to-face—has one goal: making Missouri a state where working-class people don’t just get by, but lead the way.
Working people across Missouri have already won real change by organizing, speaking out, and taking action together. From raising wages and expanding healthcare access to protecting our freedom to vote and shaping policies that affect our communities, our victories prove what’s possible when people come together to build power.
