April 7 came and went. Some results hurt. Some inspired. And now, with August 4 on the horizon, southwest Missouri Democrats cannot afford to sit this one out. Here, we break down everything that happened on April 7 — from SB 3 to the Joplin City Council race that is still not officially called — and lays out exactly who we are voting for and why on August 4.

The Jasper County Municipal General Election is this Tuesday, April 7, 2026. Polls are open 6:00 AM to 7:00 PM. If you are white, you have something many of your neighbors, coworkers, and fellow Americans do not have right now: the ability to walk into a polling place without fear. Not because you are more of a citizen. Not because you have more rights. But because of the color of your skin and because this Regime has made it very clear that it intends to use that fear as a

If you've been watching the news lately — the No Kings protests, the mail-in voting executive order, the war in Iran, the treason charges being debated in legal circles — you may be feeling what a lot of people are feeling right now: the urgency to do something, combined with the exhaustion of not knowing where to start. Tonight is a place to start. Join us on Zoom for Together Across America.

A note from longtime organizer and friend Robin McGehee — who has spent decades on the front lines of justice, from fighting for marriage equality to marching on Washington with the National Equality March.

The signatures have been counted. The votes have been cast. The bombs are still falling. And this Saturday, March 28, millions of Americans stood up and said: enough.

Voting under threat is real. Here's how you can help protect it. If you've been watching the news, you know the 2026 midterms are shaping up to be unlike any in recent memory. Steve Bannon has publicly called for IÇE agents to "surround the polls." †rump officials have refused to explicitly rule it out. IÇE has been deployed to airports, and with Bannon openly describing it as a "test run" for Election Day. Whether or not IÇE actually shows up at polling places, the threat it

"We're the only country that does mail-in voting. Mail-in voting means mail-in cheating. I call it mail-in cheating." — DONALD TRUMP, MEMPHIS CRIME ROUNDTABLE, MARCH 23, 2026 ⚠ FALSE

February 17: What You Can Do to Hold This Regime Accountable, 2 Speeches to Choose From

This article is dedicated to the memory of all those who have died at the hands of the United States government in “immigration” detention, on the streets of Minneapolis, and in communities across the country. Their lives and deaths are proof that fascism is not a future threat. It is the system under which we already live. The Constitution remains printed in schoolbooks and carved into marble, but its guarantees are being stripped away amendment by amendment.

The time has come to vote like it is war, litigate like it is survival, and protest like democracy depends on it - because it does (Authoritarian Playbook 2025, n.d.).

A call for America’s professional athletes to stand with Americans against the current threat of tyranny and destruction of our Rights and our Constitution

At this moment, the most responsible course is to unite, speak with one voice, and stay focused on what truly matters: the people.

Facing a deepening crisis in American democracy marked by political arrests, unchecked executive power, and engineered division, the call to action is clear: inaction is no longer an option. This moment demands a powerful, peaceful uprising rooted in truth and unity, echoing historic movements where nonviolence paved the way for liberation and justice. By organizing together — locally, statewide, and nationally — we can halt authoritarianism, demand accountability, and reclai

Citizens Against Tyranny was born from the powerful lesson in Vice President Kamala Harris’ elephant metaphor — standing together to protect the most vulnerable amid crisis. This foundational ideal guides us today: we unite as a protective circle to defend democracy, support one another, and confront threats to justice and truth. This is how our mission to empower, connect, and mobilize citizens against tyranny took shape.

The 2026 midterms are a dark turning point for American democracy. The regime’s relentless assault on election integrity aims to silence millions and dismantle the democratic process. This is no longer just politics. It is an existential crisis. Immediate, uncompromising action is essential to stop the unraveling of what remains of the republic.

Use these scripts to call and hold senators accountable NOW while we can!

On October 15, 2025, the United States government took an action that should concern every citizen who values the freedoms promised by the Constitution. The Department of Defense, under the leadership of Pete Hegseth, revoked the press credentials of nearly every major news outlet. Only one media organization, known for its alignment with the current regime, was allowed to remain. This decision was not the result of any misconduct. It was retaliation. Journalists refused to s
