Upcoming Events
Advocate for the Peoples’ Budget – May 16 – 27

The American Way: Life, Liberty, and Being Pursued by the Mob (Film Screening) – 5/2/26
Tracing a legacy of racial violence used to deny Black citizens full belonging, The American Way examines how citizenship in America has historically been defined through exclusion, revealing how whiteness as a qualification for citizenship was used to deny Black citizens equal rights and protections under the law.
Reject The Takeover Mass Emergency Meeting – 4/1/2026
The Board of Police Commissioners is demanding $250-350 million of OUR tax dollars to fund police. St. Louisans are coming together to stop this attack and demand that St. Louis City’s budget go towards services and resources that actually help our communities–things like mental health service expansion, Right to Counsel, and funding for a just recovery in North City.
