October may be a spooky month, but nothing’s scarier than missing your chance to make a difference.
Volunteers Are Our Secret Weapon
We’ve already made thousands of phone calls, had thousands of one-on-one conversations, sent thousands of text messages, and have safely hit thousands of doors, but we need to do more.
Sign up right now and hit the pavement, the phones, and the keyboard THIS WEEKEND!
Show Off Your Politics With Pride!
You can wear your support, drink out of it, or put it on your wall –– each way, you’re helping Democrats while doing it. Check out the MDP merch store! Order by October 13th to guarantee delivery before the election!
Census Deadline Coming Up
The U.S. Census is crucial to our democracy, ensuring everything from fair representation of our state in the House to where our children go to school. Make sure you and your friends and family help us improve the lives of Missourians directly with your census response!
Rural Town Hall Series Ends on a High Note
