Dear John,
I am incredibly excited to announce that Missouri Workers Center [[link removed]] has joined our network! Please join me in welcoming our new affiliate, who is seeding deep and meaningful relationships among workers, engaging in powerful local organizing, and building a movement of working people across the state.

Since its founding in 2021, Missouri Workers Center has brought together low-wage, Black, white, Brown, urban, and rural workers from across the state to build power and win good jobs for all. They have supported workers with creating multiracial, cross-geographic organizing committees and strategized around winning better pay, safe working conditions, and the right to form a union. In places like Kansas City, they have built deep relationships, supported striking workers, and formed a housing coalition to pass a Right to Counsel law for workers and tenants facing eviction. Missouri Workers Center is building a state-wide, multiracial and democratic movement for working people to wield power and have a say in the decisions that impact their daily lives.

We now have 21 affiliates [[link removed]] in cities and states across the country, but we are not growing our network just for the sake of growing. We are strategically building power with groups who are transforming their communities and working towards multiracial, feminist democracies — and Missouri Workers Center is doing just that.
If you’re not already following their work, you can sign up for their email list [[link removed]] and follow them on Twitter [[link removed]] , Instagram [[link removed]] , and Facebook [[link removed]] . Keep an eye out for our upcoming interview with MWC’s Executive Director, Jeremy Al-Haj!
