A stadium in a denser area with transit connections would be ideal! That doesn’t mean we need give into a bad, rushed deal that leaves people with more questions than answers. We don’t need to accept solutions that are contingent on protecting billionaire profits above all.

@sunrisemvmtkc @KCTenants Not sure why the Sunrise movement is against a ballpark downtown that will encourage fewer emissions from vehicles. Curious how this correlates to climate change. Is it just because Sunrise KC is aligned with KC tenants? I’m for dramatic action on climate, I don’t get it…

. @QuintonLucasKC There is zero reason for our power grids to be overwhelmed right now. When we talk about a Green New Deal for KC, this is why. How do you intend to hold @evergypower accountable for the deaths they will cause today?

For those who have not already experienced them, @evergypower is conducting power interruptions for 30-60 minute installments throughout the system and with impact on the power grid from Missouri and Kansas to points south through Texas.

This budget leaves KCMO’s bus system underfunded by $22 million, which leaves bus riders poised to experience deep cuts to bus service beginning in January 2025 according to KCATA officials.

It is your civic duty to call @HawleyMO 's office at 816-960-4694 and tell him what a seditious treasonist he is for inciting violence, attempting a coup, and thwarting the will of the people! He must be expelled from Congress immediately.

28.2% of the #KCPD budget would mean the creation of a real KC Housing Trust Fund + we could still do even more for our #schools + #teachers , for #mentalhealth + for our #climate . KCPD harms our Black Kansas Citians. Let's take their funding + give back to KC’s Black community.

If it’s bad for poor and working-class people, it’s bad for the planet. If it prioritizes billionaires over everyday people, it’s bad for the planet. If it perpetuates anti-Black, racist redlining and displacement, it’s bad for the planet. Vote NO by 7 pm!

Masks are proven to keep us safe and prevent the spread of illnesses, not just COVID-19. However, local hospitals in Kansas City have lifted their mask mandates, exposing patients unnecessarily to COVID-19.

Heat Dome in KC. Hurricanes in Southern California. Fires in Maui. Local and national leaders are failing us by refusing to name the problem. This is the climate crisis. Not a business or development opportunity—it’s an emergency and existential threat.
