Today marks 60 years of Medicaidโ€”and weโ€™re still fighting to protect and expand it!

Today in St. Louis, we gathered to celebrate what weโ€™ve wonโ€”and keep building toward a future where everyone can get care, no matter who we are or where we live. ๐Ÿ’™โš•๏ธ๐Ÿ’™

Right now, in Springfield, while Gov. Kehoe toasts and celebrates with big business inside the State of the State event, weโ€™re outside demanding answers.

They #paidsick time and froze wages โ€” and theyโ€™re celebrating?

Weโ€™re not staying silent.

Being able to decide if or when to start a family is a fundamental worker rightโ€”just like paid sick days or the right to organize.

Grieve today. Cry, and yell if you need to. But tomorrow, wherever you are, take action for working people. No step is too small. #Protectpaidsick #keepfighting

#Juneteenth is a reminder: Freedom in name isnโ€™t freedom in practice. The fight for Black liberation didnโ€™t end in 1865โ€”it continues in our workplaces, communities, and streets.

At MO JwJ, we know thereโ€™s no real justice without both racial and economic justice.

โ€œYour Missouri legislators have gone rogue! But when they thought they were dividing us, they were multiplying us.

Talk to your friends, family, and neighbors and let them know this affects you. We have to stop letting them divide us."
