That’s exactly why Shayne rose up with working people from every corner of the country for the May Day economic boycott and general strike.
Together, we sent a clear message to the authoritarians and billionaires who think workers will stay divided and defeated:
🚫You’re wrong!🚫
Stand Up KC and MWC leader Terrence Wise joined thousands of working Missourians on May Day to stand up to the bosses, billionaires, and bigoted politicians.
“Authoritarianism is happening right in our backyard, y’all. We can’t wait for these things to just magically change.
We need to tax the rich and win an economy that puts workers over billionaires!”
Pretty wild how often Missouri voters need a court order just to get ballot language that says what the ballot measure ACTUALLY does.
Abortion. Taxes. Redistricting. More.
Democracy works better when deceptive politicians aren’t allowed to hide the ball.

Terrence knows the power of worker organizing: he took action with low-wage workers for over a decade to win our state’s $15 minimum wage!
Now, he’s fighting for a Missouri that works for ALL of us, not just an elite minority.

its disappointing that's this needs to be explained to you Mayor Lucas @mayorq.bsky.social

The mayor’s response to the stadium petition is deeply disrespectful & undemocratic
The will of the people is not some obstacle to get around
Sorry @mayorq.bsky.social, you don't just get to decide to ignore us. You and @royals.com billionaire John Sherman are no kings.

🗞MWC leader and Kalid's Coffee worker Shayne Clegg in @npr.org:
“Workers in this country are fed up. We're tired. We're facing a lot of issues from this current authoritarian regime that we are under. Billionaires are getting all of the control. Workers are suffering.”
He’s won raises, equipment repairs, and paid sick time by taking action with his coworkers at Kaldi’s.
Now, he’s building the multiracial worker-led movement to stand together, get loud, and TAKE what we’re owed!
