We crowdfund for underfunded Dems running in some of the reddest, roughest, toughest places in the state โmaking it easier for folks to decide to run, and giving them resources to make some noise.
Last cycle our community raised and distributed $220k to 49 Dem nominees for MO state legislature. 2/
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! ๐๐ That is literally why we exist!
1/
Joining Blue MO means you're part of a grassroots community that makes sure people running in the reddest, toughest, roughest races in the state aren't doing it solo.
Meanwhile, you know you're among ๐ friends.
We'd be darn proud to have you in our community.
Hope to welcome you soon.
Join here ๐
That $ went directly to nominees, who used it to organize and spread a Democratic message in red, rural communities. It's grassroots power at its best!
And the folks above just joined our Blue MO community. Friend, we'd love to welcome YOU to our community of big-hearted change makers too.
9/
We're unique in WHO we fund, but also in HOW we fund them.
Because we create communities of big๐ people like you who want to support these nominees. Our members kick in a few bucks a month so that together, over time, our collective impact is massive.
In '24 we distributed ~220k across MO! ๐คฉ

Blue MO crowdfunds for underfunded Dems running for MO state legislature. We fund the folks with the fewest resources. We boost the underdogs!
We lift nominees who are fighting fascism in their own backyards โnot despite the fact their race is hard, but BECAUSE it is.
We're proud to do it.

Friends! It's our favorite time โ time to welcome new members to Blue MO! A LOT of people have joined since our last update, and we are thrilled to welcome them to this big-hearted community.
Give them a shout out! DRUM ROLL PLEASE!
A big Blue MO welcome to:
1/
We crowdfund for the underfunded Dems running in some of the reddest parts of the state.
Our Blue MO community โ made of over 1k folks just like you โ gives them the strength and the resources to stand up and push back.
If you're not a member yet, join us here:
LFG, friends. LFG.
NOT ONE GOP MO state legislator should think they can stuff you into a corner to appease DJT and not face consequences at the ballot box.
NOT. ONE.
We're not just used to helping Dems go toe-to-toe with MAGA legislators โ it's our reason for being.
3/
These bootlickers are just jumping to do DTJ's bidding.
Enough. Let's vote them all out while we still can.
Our goal:
NOT ONE Republican MO state legislator should be unopposed this cycle.
NOT ONE Republican MO state legislator should face an opponent that's starved for resources or support.
2/
Listen to this:
"Just hours after hearing from President Donald Trump during a caucus meeting, Republicans in the Missouri Senate showed they are ready to please him by shoving a new congressional district map to passage over opposition from Democrats."
MO GOP is "ready to please him," eh?

Thank you, Laura! ๐๐๐
04.09.2025 17:38 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0Hundreds 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!
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.
And join us here.
Can't wait to welcome you, friend. ๐๐ฅโญ๏ธ
So if you're ready to be part of a grassroots movement with a heckuva lot of momentum, a proven track record of directly helping nominees, and really big heart, we hope you'll join.

In '24 Blue Missouri distributed ~220k across MO! ๐คฉ
And those funds went directly to nominees โ meaning that nearly a quarter of a million $ was spent in MO by downballot Dems in red districts BECAUSE of our Blue MO community.
That's grassroots power at its best!

We're unique not only in WHO we fund, but in HOW we fund them.
Because we create communities of big๐ people like you who want to support these nominees.

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 โnot despite the fact their race is hard, but BECAUSE it is.
We're very proud to do it.

Friend, we are blown away โย the last 16 posts of new members are just the folks who have joined ... IN THE LAST TWO WEEKS.
