Solidarity Happy Hour – Every Friday 🍻
Join us this Friday for Solidarity Happy Hour, hosted by Daniel Sharpenberg of NTEU Chapter 66. Union members and labor leaders from across Kansas City come together to connect, unwind, and stand shoulder-to-shoulder in the fight for workers’ rights.
What it’s about:

Building unity across unions
Sharing updates on labor issues in our community
Supporting furloughed federal workers and fellow union members
Growing our collective voice over good drinks and better conversations

I attend as many Fridays as I can, because solidarity isn’t just a word, it’s something we show up for.
Come raise a glass, share a story, and stand with labor. Hope to see you there.

Stop the Healthcare Heist Protest
2025-10-31 12:00 - 15:00
This fall, 22 million people will see their healthcare premiums double, and 4.2 million will lose coverage- all to fund billionaire tax cuts.
Republicans in Congress have pushed healthcare cuts that will devastate working families, small businesses, and young adults. As open enrollment begins November 1, millions will learn their ACA premiums are skyrocketing due to more than $1 trillion in cuts to Medicaid, Medicare, and the ACA.
Join us to expose who’s responsible, and demand better. We need better healthcare, not less healthcare, but Trump and Congressional Republicans voted to send our healthcare costs skyrocketing to pay for tax cuts for billionaires.**
A core principle behind all of our events is a commitment to nonviolent action. We expect all participants to seek to de-escalate any potential confrontation with those who disagree with our values and to act lawfully at these events. Weapons of any kind, including those legally permitted, should not be brought to events.

KCUR Generation Listen: Redistricting A Community Q&A
2025-10-30 18:00 - 19:00
A new map of Missouri’s Congressional districts has been signed into law, and the Republican Kansas legislature is trying to take similar action. How will newly shaped Congressional districts in Kansas and Missouri affect you?
Join KCUR’s Steve Kraske and a panel of experts on Thursday, Oct. 30 at the Kansas City Public Library’s Plaza Branch to participate in the conversation.
Missouri’s Republican Governor recently signed legislation that officially redraws the boundaries of Rep. Emanuel Cleaver’s 5th Congressional District to favor Republican voters. Several lawsuits have already been filed challenging the changes.
Republican leaders in the Kansas Legislature are pushing to draw a new map to make it harder for the state’s only Democratic representative in Congress to win reelection.
Join KCUR’s Steve Kraske as he puts your questions to a panel of experts who will explore all sides of the constitutionality and legality of these plans.
Panelists:
Sam Wang: Professor of Neuroscience, Princeton University and creator of The Gerrymandering Project
Edward Greim: attorney at Graves Garrett Greim LLC, representing redistricting cases in other states
Savannah Hawley-Bates: Missouri Government and Politics reporter at KCUR
Zane Irwin: Political Reporter at the Kansas News ServiceThis event is free but seats are limited.
The event will also be live-streamed on the Library’s YouTube channel. An edited version of the event will be re-broadcast on a future episode of KCUR’s Up To Date.
Redistricting: A Community Q&A is presented by KCUR’s Generation Listen and the Kansas City Public Library.

Vivant Health Follow Up and Check In

To engage with Vivant Health leadership and staff to better understand their integrated care model supporting individuals living with HIV. The visit focused on learning about the organization’s comprehensive wraparound services, including housing assistance for 25 residents, food support, and medical care, and assessing how recent or potential Medicare and benefit cuts are impacting their patients. This meeting reflects my continued commitment to protecting access to healthcare, safeguarding essential services, and ensuring that community-based providers have the resources they need to care for vulnerable populations across Kansas City.

Mailstorm KC
2025-10-26 13:30 - 15:00 | Plaza Library Branch, 4801 Main St, Kansas City, MO
Modeled after Project Mailstorm, we are a group of ladies who decided enough was enough. We are here to engage in writing sessions with other concerned constituents to flood the system.

Join us for targeted letter-writing campaigns to send to our elected officials.

The Project Mailstorm Idea: Instagram theshabbycreekcottage

“We’re flooding the system with handwritten letters – day after day, generation by generation.

Not to yell, not to beg… just to apply peaceful, relentless pressure in the one place they can’t ignore: the mailroom.

You don’t have to be an expert. You don’t need the perfect words.

You just need a stamp, an envelope, and the courage to keep showing up.

Write once a week. Or every damn day. Send it in a sparkly envelope or on the back of your junk mail. Just keep mailing.

Because together? We are the storm.”

We sit down together for letter-writing sessions targeted on upcoming issues. You might find it to be therapeutic, quality social time with new friends, and a great action item to saving democracy.

Hope you can join us!
