INDIVISIBLE: WE WILL PERSIST(IWWP)

Category: Informational

  • Looking for an Alternative to State of the Union?

    Skip the political theater and join the movement. ✊

    Instead of the usual choreographed pomp and circumstance, MoveOn and MeidasTouch are coming together. They will host the “People’s State of the Union”. This is a live alternative that centers the voices of everyday Americans rather than Washington insiders.

    📅 Event Details:

    • When: February 24, 2026
    • Time: 8:30 p.m. ET (Starts just before the official address)
    • Hosts: Joy Reid and Katie Phang
    • Where to Watch: MoveOn.org/Live or the MeidasTouch YouTube channel

    Why Tune In?

    • Real Stories: Hear directly from people impacted by the administration’s policies on healthcare, immigration, and the economy.
    • Direct Accountability: Progressive leaders and members of Congress will be skipping the official State Of The Union. This includes Senators Ed Markey and Chris Murphy. They will offer a real-time, honest reflection on the state of our democracy.
    • Action-Oriented: This isn’t just a speech; it’s a rally to organize and mobilize for the 2026 midterms.

    Don’t let the noise drown out the truth. RSVP now and be part of the conversation that actually matters.

  • Let’s Make Some Plans!

    Membership Meeting

    March 19, 2026 from 6:30 PM to 7:30 PM

    St. Charles City/County Library – Corp Parkway

    1200 Corporate Parkway

    Wentzville, MO 63385

    WE NEED HELP IN ACCOMPLISHING THESE GOALS!!!

    1. Mobilizing for March 28th:

    “No Kings Day” We are getting ready for the third mass mobilization. This event is part of the No Kings movement. This is a significant event. We will be finalizing our local plans. We aim to join millions across the country. Together, we will declare that America has no room for monarchs or authoritarians. We need volunteers for marshaling, sign-making, and outreach. We are planning on hosting multiple site events and need your help!

    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.

  • Another Constitutional Assault

    Nationalize the Election Process

    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.

    They are very active in 2026 and always need people to help gather signatures or host small informational gatherings. They are looking for volunteers to support every aspect of their efforts. Check out their website and find ways to volunteer.

    If you do not have the time to volunteer, please check out the Signature Gathering Events. This way, you can find a convenient location to sign the petition.

  • 1/31/26 Mid Rivers Protest Cancelled Due To Inclement Weather

  • Postcard Persuadables

    What is a Persuadable? Usually, they are people that are:

    • Young and Uncommitted – coming-of-age voters
    • Repeatedly Disappointed – disillusioned with the same results or lack thereof
    • Undeclared – agree with points on both sides and often remain undecided until forced to make a choice

    How often do receive a postcard advertisement in the mail and simple throw in the trash as you walk in the house? I do it every day! However, if that postcard has a brief handwritten personal note on it I take a second look.

    Our goal is to send these to the Persuadables living in St. Charles County, hoping they will take a second look and follow the link to our website for more information.

  • Immigration Rights & Resources

    Navigating Immigration Enforcement in St. Charles County

    With recent changes to Missouri state law and new partnerships between law enforcement and ICE, it’s important for our neighbors to stay informed. Here is what you need to know about how immigration enforcement currently works in St. Charles City, St. Peters, O’Fallon, Wentzville, and the surrounding county:

    1. The Highway Patrol is Now Partnered with ICE 🛣️

    As of 2025, the Missouri State Highway Patrol (MSHP) has entered a 287(g) Task Force agreement. This means troopers patrolling our highways (I-70, I-64, etc.) are trained and authorized to act as immigration officers during routine traffic stops.

    2. Local Police Status 🚔

    Local departments like St. Charles City, St. Peters, O’Fallon and Wentzville PD do not have formal 287(g) “deputization” agreements. However, they do share fingerprint data with federal databases during jail bookings through the “Secure Communities” program.

    3. Your Rights are Still Yours ⚖️

    Regardless of your status, you have constitutional rights:

    • The Right to Remain Silent: You do not have to answer questions about where you were born or your immigration status.
    • The Right to a Lawyer: If detained, do not sign any documents without speaking to an attorney.
    • Warrants Matter: You do not have to let anyone into your home or car without a judicial warrant signed by a judge. (An “ICE Warrant” or Form I-200 is generally not enough for entry without consent.)

    Official Information on 287(g):

    Local Legal Aid & Advocacy:

    • MICA Project (Migrant and Immigrant Community Action): Expert legal defense for deportation and asylum.
    • Legal Services of Eastern Missouri (LSEM): Provides civil legal assistance for low-income residents in St. Charles County.
    • St. Francis Community Services: Bilingual legal aid and family support.

    St. Charles Specific Social Services:

    • Vitendo 4 Africa (V4A): A local organization based in the area specifically helping immigrant families navigate St. Charles County resources.
    • Community Council of St. Charles County: A directory for food, housing, and utility assistance.

  • A Do Something Opportunity

    INDIVISIBLE is joining the ACLU, MoveOn, and Public Citizen in driving as many calls as we can to Capitol Hill. We want congressional phone lines ringing off the hook with constituents demanding the DHS funding bill include restrictions on ICE and Border Patrol.

    You can access Individible’s newletter in the link below. They have made the process easy for you. They provide you with a script to follow during the call. They also have an email option. It only takes a couple of minutes.

    Please do this immediately. The Senate will be in recess from January 17-25.

  • Martin Luther King

    Minister, Teacher and Inspiration for All

    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.

  • St. Charles County – 2026 Timeline & Voter Information

    Mark your calendars – YOUR voice matters in 2026

    Let’s actively engage with our community to ensure our voices are heard and that our government, at all levels, remains responsive to our needs.

    In an effort to better educate myself, I have found that the MO Elections & Voting site is a great starting point.

    • Check your voter registration. By verifying your registration, you can access information about all the districts you belong to. Once you complete the form and information appears click the link to view my districts.
    • Register to vote.
    • Find your polling place.
    • Find the names of the state and federal officials currently representing you (find your legislators).

    As the graphic indicates we will have 3 elections in 2026.

    The April 7, 2026, election will center on municipal efforts, including local city, county, school board, and fire district initiatives.

    The August 4, 2026, election will concentrate on state and federal primaries, selecting the final candidates for the November elections.

    The General Election on November 3, 2026, will decide State and Federal representation.

    St. Charles County Election Authority has a comprehensive website. It will assist you as we approach elections. The website provides sample ballots and official details on all topics related to voting. You may even want to become an election judge yourself, this is the perfect place to get started.

  • As We End the Year – Reflection and Planning

    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
    • Whether democracy is protected or eroded
    • Whether politics is about solutions or scapegoats

    Take Action in 2026

    • Register & verify your voter status Elections&Voting

  • Why Regulation Will Make Democrats Popular Again

    Regulation isn’t just a burden — it can protect consumers, workers, and fair competition.

    I strongly encourage you to click on the link to view the entire episode. I wanted to give a summary of the Molly Jong-Fast “Project 2029: Why Regulation Will Make Democrats Popular Again.” This is Episode 2 of the Project 2029: A Reimagining series.

    Watch the episode here.

    📹 Overview

    In the second episode, journalist Molly Jong-Fast explains how regulation and antitrust enforcement are crucial tools. These tools are important for defending the American public against unchecked private power. She and her guests show how regulation helps guarantee fairness, protects individual rights and preserves economic freedom.

    📌 Key Points from the Video/Discussion

    • Regulation as a positive tool: Voters don’t hate government. They hate feeling unprotected. When policy clearly improves daily life and someone takes credit for it political popularity follows. Regulation isn’t just a burden — it can protect consumers, workers, and fair competition. When people see tangible benefits (like more fair markets and protections), it can boost approval for the party that champions those policies

    • Antitrust enforcement matters: Breaking up monopolies and enforcing antitrust laws helps smaller businesses and consumers. Antitrust enforcement lowers prices, raises wages, protects democracy, and keeps the economy working for people instead of monopolies.

    • Political strategy angle: Instead of shying away from regulation as “too bureaucratic,” Democrats should embrace their role. They can shape fair markets and economic safeguards. This approach can improve their political standing leading up to 2029. Targeted action that brings meaningful benefits to Americans will result in a stronger coalition.

    🎯 Central Message
    Regulation makes Democrats popular when it’s framed as protection from powerful interests. It becomes more popular when it is felt in everyday life. It should not be viewed as abstract governance.

    Watch the episode here.

    The Epstein cover-up continues. If you have a Republican Member of Congress, email them to demand action.

    On Friday, the Trump regime blew past the legal deadline set by the Epstein Transparency Act to release all the Epstein Files, releasing instead a tiny, selective, and heavily redacted portion of them. This government-wide cover-up was already a scandal — now, it’s blatantly illegal. Use our email tool to send a message to your Republican Members of Congress demanding to know what they’ll do to uphold the law and give Epstein’s survivors the justice they deserve.

  • Understanding Our Democracy

    US Democracy is shaped by our culture and history…..

    A quick 10 minute video produced by PBS on What America’s Founding Fathers REALLY Meant | Civics Made Easy

    Our Democracy is often celebrated for its stability and the rights it provides but those very same features can fuel gridlock, minority rule and institutional stagnation. Understanding our Democracy is an important step in understanding what changes we can make to improve our government.

  • Campaign Finance Reform

    Money and Corruption in Politics – Silencing the voice of the Voter

    Before Citizens United, there were limits on how much corporations and unions could spend on election ads. After the ruling, those limits disappeared. Outside groups can now pour millions into TV ads, online ads, and mailers.

    While I strongly encourage you to click on the link to view the entire episode, I wanted to give a summary of the Molly Jong-Fast “Project 2029: Campaign Finance Reform Comes First” YouTube video (Episode 1 of the Project 2029: A Reimagining series):https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wLz2BzCx1ZY

    📹 Overview

    In the premiere episode, journalist Molly Jong-Fast frames campaign finance reform as the most urgent first step to fixing American politics. She argues that money’s overwhelming influence in elections — especially since the Citizens United decision — has warped priorities in Washington and undermined democracy.

    📌 Key Points from the Video/Discussion

    • Campaign finance reform must come first: Jong-Fast explains that without addressing how money flows into politics, it’s hard to solve other problems — from policy gridlock to policymaking that favors wealthy donors over voters.

    • Citizens United’s impact: The episode highlights how the Supreme Court’s 2010 Citizens United ruling opened the floodgates for unlimited spending in elections by corporations and wealthy interests, shifting power away from ordinary voters.

    • Experts featured: The video includes voices like Harvard’s Lawrence Lessig, Tiffany Muller of End Citizens United, Michael Waldman of the Brennan Center for Justice, and other campaign finance reform advocates. They explain how big money influences policy and why reform is essential.

    • Call to action: Beyond diagnosing the problem, the video discusses possible paths for reform — both at the federal and state levels — and encourages viewer engagement and activism around those solutions.

    🎯 Central Message
    Money in politics isn’t just a side issue — it’s the first problem to solve if the U.S. is going to restore public trust and make government accountable to everyday people rather than powerful donors.

    Please, take the time to view the entire episode and be certain to ask Candidates what they intend to do to reform the harm caused by Citizens United.

  • Missouri Republican calls in ICE to interfere with ballot initiative

    BEWARE – Democracy dies in the darkness: Missouri AG calls for ICE to stop United States citizens from collecting signatures to put the illegal gerrymandering map on the ballot.

    The Attorney General is NOT doing an investigation herself but reaching out to ICE to scare MO Citizens! This is truly autocracy at work in our own state.

  • MO Petitions to Sign for Promoting Democracy

    Missouri currently has several significant petitions circulating that will shape the 2026 ballot and state politics.

    Please, look for the tent at the Weekly Protest at Mid Rivers Mall Drive and Sue Mandy to sign these critical petitions.

    For Additional Information click on the link provided.

    Active Petition Campaigns

    People Not Politicians – Referendum on Redistricting

    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.

    Respect Missouri Voters – Constitutional Amendment to Protect Initiative Petition Process

    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. 

    MO for LGBTQ – Marriage Rights and Civil Rights Petitions

    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.

    Missouri Right to Education Initiative

    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.

    Donald Trump and his fascist minions are dismantling democratic institutions, consolidating their power, and targeting marginalized communities. From mass firings of auditors, to sweeping healthcare cuts threatening millions, their actions are eroding the very fabric of our society.

    Informational Update

    To fight the new Gerrymandered Map 3 lawsuits have been filed.

    1. NaaCP has filed a lawsuit contesting that Gov. Kehoe decision to call a special session was unconstitutional and thus outputs of special session illegal.
    2. 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.
    3. 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.
