Hi friends! We should introduce ourselves...
We crowdfund for underfunded Dem nominees for MO state leg – who run in some of the reddest parts of MO.
We've been at this since 2017, supporting Dems in every corner of the state.
If you believe Dems should fight everywhere, we should be friends. 💙

Last night, Democrats flipped 3 seats in MISSISSIPPI, breaking the supermajority in their state legislature. Democrats showed up and made massive gains in red districts all over the country.
If you want to help do that in Missouri, HI! 👋👋 That is literally why we exist!

Hundreds of people have joined Blue Missouri @everystatebluemo.bsky.social in the past few weeks.
Pro tip: You don't have to live in Missouri to join (I don't).
In fact, pro-democracy forces in heavily gerrymandered states like Missouri really need help from outside the state, so pitch in!

Blue MO crowdfunds for underfunded Dems running for state leg.
We intentionally fund the folks who have the fewest resources.
We boost underdogs.
We lift nominees who fight fascism in their own backyards –not despite the fact their race is hard, but BECAUSE it is.
We're very proud to do it.

Friends, I'm speechless. In just the last two weeks, we've had HUNDREDS of people join Blue MO.
When I started Blue MO in 2017, I dreamed of what we could do with a grassroots community of people supporting nominees throughout the state.
Just goes to show.
Dreams can come true.

Friend, we are blown away – the last 16 posts of new members are just the folks who have joined ... IN THE LAST TWO WEEKS.
Blue Missouri is a movement with momentum.
So why does it matter?
What are these folks doing that's so special? Glad you asked!

The MO GOP is arrogant enough to think we'll just roll over, let them gerrymander us into smaller and smaller slices – let them push us into tinier and tinier corners.
But there's a thing about folks that are cornered.
