FLOAT’S MESSAGE
We are a nation shaped by immigrants from around the world. Their resilience, determination, and hope helped build a better future for generations to come. The Monarch Butterfly symbolizes the strength and spirit they carried with them.
Those who came before us helped build our democracy on those shared values that protect the basic human rights of all people: liberty, justice, freedom, equality, humanity, and unity.
They also entrusted us with a powerful way to uphold those values: our voice, expressed through the right to vote.
Your vote gives your voice power.
Special thanks to the Float’s designer Cindi Lopane

PARADE DAY
Check out all the the fun we will be having in the parade.
Sometimes, the world gives us exactly what we need to see to remember that we are better together.
Yesterday,King Charles III delivered a historic address to a joint meeting of Congress, speaking of a “generosity of spirit” and a duty to foster compassion across all faiths and nations. He reminded us that light triumphs over darkness when we choose to value one another and work toward a common peace.
Then, in a beautiful display of that very spirit, the Buffalo Sabres fans showed us what it looks like in practice. During Game 5, when a microphone failure threatened to silence “O Canada,” 19,000 voices rose as one. These fans—Americans and Canadians alike—didn’t miss a beat, carrying the anthem for a neighbor and a friend.
Why this matters:
Unity over Division: In a volatile world, these moments prove that our foundational principles of respect and partnership aren’t just words—they are alive in our actions.
Strength in Community: Whether it’s an alliance between nations or a crowd in a stadium, we are at our strongest when we fill the silence for each other.
The Power of Voice: Hope isn’t just a feeling; it’s the sound of thousands of people choosing to sing the same song.
Let’s carry this energy forward. There is so much more that unites us than divides us.
Strength in Our Own Backyard: Local Opportunities to Unite
If those stories of unity inspired you, there are a few ways to put that spirit into action right here in St. Charles this weekend. Whether it’s sharing a meal or helping a neighbor, here is how we can show up for each other:

To Join US – Click on the location above you want to attend. RSVP via Mobilize. Your RSVP ensures you receive the official event information. It also lets you share the event with your friends and family via Social Media Links.

This is for a peaceful, nonviolent First Amendment protest against the wanna-be King and his regime. They are dismantling our democratic republic with cruelty and disregard for the rule of law. A core principle behind all No Kings events is a commitment to nonviolent action with no civil disobedience. All participants should de-escalate any potential confrontation with those who disagree with our values. Participants are expected to act lawfully at these events.
Please remember that agitators are attempting to disrupt peaceful protest. While you’re enjoying the honks and waves, cheers and chants, and a multitude of creative signs, please be aware. There will also be HECKLERS, INSTIGATORS, SUSPICIOUS ACTORS, COUNTER PROTESTERS, and maybe some IRATE PROTESTERS RESPONDING TO THE ABOVE. As hard as it is to do, please do not engage! All have a First Amendment right to free speech. Some of us respond with a peace sign or chants, some just ignore the few birdies flying by.
Indivisible We Will Persist – NoKings organizers are RECRUITING PEACEKEEPERS.
The Role of the Peacekeepers is to perform the following:
Observe and de-escalate agitators, whether they are participants or not.
Observe, video record and afterwards upload incidents to the national NoKings organizers (link and training provided).
Observe and report an emergency to 911+ Lead Peacekeeper via phone, text and/or walkie talkie(provided).
Observe an incident, ask bystanders for space and encourage a chant or song to reduce surrounding tensions.
Peacekeepers will work in teams of two’s and need to stay together throughout the event.
Teams of Peacekeepers are asked to be trained in advance. Links for online training will be provided.
Peacekeepers will need to be available on March 28th from 10:00 AM to 3:00 PM.
Peacekeepers will wear identifying NoKings shirts. An Indivisible We Will Persist name tag on a lanyard will be provided.
Peacekeepers must be alert, should remain hands-free, except for communication tools.
Above all, Peacekeepers are to support fellow citizens to peacefully assemble and express their First Amendment right to free speech.
Peacekeepers will also help us disburse peacefully and united by thanking participants for coming starting at 1:45. Explaining to participants that leaving by 2:00 PM is for the safety of all. Remind participants that we protest weekly at Mid Rivers Mall Dr. noon to 1:30.
Ensure trash is picked up.
Please reach out if you want to help with this important role.

2. Discuss upcoming April 7th Municipal Elections
Democracy starts at the local level. We’ll be discussing the critical municipal races and school board seats up for grabs on April 7th. These local victories are the “firewall” against extremism in our own backyard.
3. Retaking our Voice:
Stopping Bob Onder in US Congressional District 3 and Ann Wagner in US Congressional District 2 . It is time to bring new leadership to Missouri’s 2nd & 3rd District. We will discuss our strategy to unseat Bob Onder and Ann Wagner by backing candidates who actually represent us. We’re talking about long-term organizing to replace their agenda with one that serves the people. While the election is months away we need to work consistently throughout the year. Our goal is to ensure we remove these authoritarian sympathizers from congress.
4. Sustaining the Street Heat
Our weekly protests are the heartbeat of our visibility. We will review our current schedule. We will discuss new locations. We will ensure we have a steady presence to hold those in power accountable every single week.
“Local groups build and wield power in ways that individuals can’t.” Let’s show up, get organized, and keep persisting.
The rapid pace of assaults on the US Constitution are exhausting.
Balancing national needs with what we as individuals can do is extremely difficult.
There are several organizations that are currently working Grassroots Non Partisan Efforts to protect the rights of Missourians.
One such effort is through Respect MO Voters
Respect Missouri Voters: Is a grassroots, cross-partisan movement. It is specifically designed to protect the “citizen initiative” process. The movement works to stop politicians from overturning the will of voters. It ensures clear ballot language. It also preserves the Citizens Initiative process in Missouri.

The Missouri Voter Protection Coalition (MOVPC) is a non-partisan statewide network. Its voter advocates work to secure the right to vote in Missouri.
Legislation is happening and we should all be aware of how our vote is affected. Today, being an an informed citizen means, you need to find organizations that align with your beliefs.

IWWP General Membership Meeting January 22, 2026.- 6:30 pm to 7:30 pm
St. Charles City County Public Library 1200 Corporate Pkwy, Wentzville, MO 63385
Bring your ideas and help us plan events and actions to engage St. Charles County Citizens in civic awareness!
If you are unable to join in person here is the zoom meeting information:
These are unsettling times. The future feels uncertain. This fear can tempt us to withdraw. It makes us keep our heads down and hope someone else will speak up.
But history reminds us that democracy doesn’t disappear all at once. It erodes when ordinary people are convinced their voices no longer matter.
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. warned us of this moment with clarity. He used moral force to emphasize his message: “Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter.”
Speaking out doesn’t always mean shouting. Sometimes it means asking hard questions. It involves telling the truth plainly. It requires showing up when it’s uncomfortable. It also means refusing to accept the normalization of injustice. Democracy is not self-sustaining—it depends on participation, vigilance, and moral courage from regular people.
This is a time not to surrender to fear. Instead, choose responsibility. We must be responsible to each other, to the next generation, and to the idea that self-government is worth defending.
We are still here. Our voices still count. And using them matters—now more than ever.
Be certain to check out the calendars on our website. Greater St. Louis County Calendar has many informative events. Ways for us to be engaged citizens. In reviewing the events I realized for the first time that Wentzville has an annual Martin Luther King, Jr. Celebration.
Open to the public, here are the details for this years event.

Get to know your candidates! This meeting is a Town Hall Format, with Candidates for this years elections. They will share their ideas and be open to your questions.
We are gathering with other protest organizations from across St Louis to honor the life of Renee Nicole Good, who was murdered by an ICE agent. This candlelight vigil is an act of remembrance and a public declaration: from cities across the United States, we are watching, and we are demanding accountability.
The vigil will take place Friday, January 9, 2026, at 6:00 PM, at the corner of Eager and S. Brentwood Road in Brentwood, where we will line the sidewalks in solidarity. We will provide as many candles as possible, but please bring them if you have them.
Do you remember the classic children’s cartoon, “Santa Claus, Is Comin’ to Town”?
Does Burgermiester Meisterburger remind you of our current President?
In Santa Claus is Comin’ to Town, Burgermeister Meisterburger rules by grievance. He criminalizes toys. Outlaws joy and generosity. He rules by might. He mistakes control for leadership.
It is a cartoon – but the warning is real.
Burgermeister Meisterburger is a classic authoritarian:
Thin-skinned
Obsessed with loyalty
Punishes dissent
Hates symbols that unite people without him at the center
As we head into a new year—and toward the 2026 elections—we face a simple question:
Do we keep repeating the cartoon villain’s playbook? Or do we choose leaders who govern with competence, fairness, and care for real people?
In 2026 Let’s bring joy back to Sombertown…by giving a little bit of ourselves!
Why 2026 Matters
Midterm elections decide more than seats. They decide:
Whether economic policy lowers costs or raises them
Volunteer with local pro-democracy and pro-worker campaigns, check out the participants on Do Something St. Charles page
Support candidates who focus on lowering costs and strengthening democratic norms, attend Feb 1st event Super Candidate Kick-Off register here Super Candidate Kick-Off
Candidates currently seeking office in St. Charles County, Missouri, regardless of party, are invited to attend this Event. Kurt Bahr, Election Authority Director for St. Charles County, will be the keynote speaker. Matt Williams, President of The St. Charles County Democratic Club, will serve as MC.
Each candidate will give a short introduction, followed by a period when they will answer individual questions. During this time, you are welcome to enjoy some light refreshments.
Below is the list of Candidates that have confirmed their attendance as of Jan 25, 2026:
This petition seeks to overturn the new congressional map passed by the Missouri legislature in September 2025. The campaign needs to collect approximately 117,000 signatures by December 11, 2025, to place the measure on the November 2026 ballot.If successful, voters would decide whether to accept or reject the gerrymandered map.
This petition aims to protect citizens’ ability to use the initiative process and prevent the legislature from overturning voter-approved measures. The amendment would expand the initiative and referendum petition process by making it a fundamental right, allow courts to revise ballot summaries through lawsuits, prohibit the legislature from weakening initiative powers, and prevent the legislature from repealing laws enacted through voter initiatives without 80% approval from both chambers. The campaign needs approximately 300,000 signatures by December 31 to qualify for the 2026 ballot. This effort directly counters a GOP-backed constitutional amendment (HJR3) that would require citizen-led initiatives to pass not only statewide but also in all eight congressional districts—a requirement that would not apply to amendments proposed by the legislature itself.
This organization is collecting signatures for two separate petitions. One would amend the state constitution to define marriage as “between two consenting adults,” protecting LGBTQ+ marriage rights if the federal Supreme Court ruling is overturned. The second petition would expand Missouri’s anti-discrimination laws to include sexual orientation, gender identity, pregnancy, and marital status.
This petition seeks to make education a fundamental right for Missouri children and require the state to maintain “adequate, thorough, and uniform high quality free public schools” in every district. The measure aims to address inequality between school districts across the state.

We had pouring rain. We had sprinkles. We had thunder and lightning. We had ink running down our dripping signs. But none of that dampened our spirit and determination. Because we all had a message, and nothing was going to stop us from sending that message to Jeff City and D.C. As soon as you got off Highway 70, you looked up Mid Rivers Mall Drive and saw nothing but a sea of signs on both sides of the road. It was a sight to behold.
Despite the rainy weather we showed up in record numbers. We distributed stickers to count how many people attended. We prepared 2000 and distributed all of them and people just kept on coming. We estimated 2500 people showed up. All sharing a concern for where our country is headed. Your party affiliation didn’t matter. Your race, religion didn’t matter. Nothing mattered except the common cause.
We were having a good time. There was chanting. There was singing. There was music playing. There was a constant honking. There was cheering from the cars and participants. All 2500 people just exercising their RIGHT to peacefully demonstrate.
I left feeling uplifted and hopeful. Soggy, but uplifted and hopeful.
Thanks to all the people that posted their pictures on IWWP Facebook page. Here is a sample of them.

Informational Update
To fight the new Gerrymandered Map 3 lawsuits have been filed.
NaaCP has filed a lawsuit contesting that Gov. Kehoe decision to call a special session was unconstitutional and thus outputs of special session illegal.
The ACLU is representing plaintiffs in a lawsuit brought forward to fight the power grab. This lawsuit points out the unconstitutionality of the effort as it is being done outside the bounds of a preceding federal census as stated in MO Constitution.
As required by MO Constitution only compact districts are allowed. The 3rd lawsuit points out that the new redistricting violates this as the KC district has been redrawn to extend all the way to the border of Iowa.
