💥ICYMI: In a huge win for poor and working Kansas Citians, we overwhelmingly defeated the @Royals 40-year corporate handout ballot measure on Tuesday! By crushing Question 1, we put the needs of Kansas City’s working class above the priorities of billionaires. #WeAreWorthMore

🚨TOMORROW🚨 Join us at noon outside the KC Election Board to tell the Royals: We're No Fools! They think they can call what they signed a community benefits agreement? Think again! It's a sham and we're not buying it. Vote No on Question 1 and see you tomorrow! 🗳️❌

Yes. Let's get it done! Shout out to @MOREsquared Federal lawsuit is latest attempt for local control of Kansas City Police Department fox4kc.com/news/federal-l…

The @Royals need our support for their multibillion-dollar stadium development, but we won’t allow a corporate handout that leaves #MOworkers behind. We demand a #GoodJobCBA that advances economic and racial justice for the people who call #KansasCity home. This means🧵

Thanks to @MOREsquared for organizing the WHY WE CAN’T WAIT march! We’ve had enough of the racism, corruption, & exploitation of poor people from KCKPD & KCPD. NO JUSTICE, NO PEACE! Time for the DOJ to investigate & intervene.✊🏿✊🏽✊🏻 #NoJusticeNoPeace #BlackLivesMatter #KansasCity

Check out coverage of MORE2 and our partners calling for investigations of KCPD from DOJ @CivilRights.

@KCStar McDonald cited concerns over police using illegal chokeholds and a lack of accountability for officers. She is hoping the DOJ puts a consent decree together that suggests oversight of KCPD should not be with the state. She plans to go to DC and protest if DOJ does not answer.

Six leaders from metro area groups ranging from the Urban League to More2 are asking the DOJ to investigate the KCPD for "systemic constitutional violations" and the "targeting of Black motorists to achieve ticket quotas" according to a Friday letter. Presser about to begin...
