We can build a Missouri that’s fair and accountable to all of our citizens — and I’ll work with community leaders like those at Action St. Louis Power to get it done. I’m honored to have their support in this race. pic.twitter.com/KlD4iw4Osw
Only a handful of studies measure the costs and benefits of policing, and all overlook the social costs of police violence. Sooo let's #defundthepolice.
CORI BUSH
MO-1 Democratic Nominee
On August 5, 2020 Nicole Galloway threw her support behind future Congresswoman Cori Bush:
Last night, @CoriBush proved that Missourians are ready for change. Her persistence and commitment to our communities are unmatched. I can’t wait to see what she’ll accomplish for #MO01. Congratulations, Cori! pic.twitter.com/zccKkCJEmd
Cori Bush is adamant about one thing: defunding the police. Nicole Galloway has chosen to put her support behind this BLM leader who wants to weaken and defeat Missouri Police.
"'We need to defund the police and make sure that money goes back into the communities that need it,' said Cori Bush, a progressive candidate running for Missouri's 1st District House seat, in a statement."#DefundThePolice#MO01#STLhttps://t.co/UkK3S8Ahxc
“The Missouri Democratic Party's new leader called for the release of convicted cop killer Mumia Abu-Jamal and, as a state legislator in 2017, vocally opposed a law that heightened penalties for those who harm police officers.”
"Smith signed a Partisan Defense Committee letter calling for the "immediate freedom" of Abu-Jamal, who is serving life imprisonment without parole after murdering Philadelphia officer Daniel Faulkner in 1981."

“Aldridge said in all, activists have five demands: Close the Workhouse; Defund the police department; Reparations; Disarm or train police officers in de-escalation tactics; Free political prisoners, which are people arrested or charged during a protest.”
"We want some of those funds be reallocated into our communities, back into social services, so we can build strong communities within our neighborhoods."
PLANNED PARENTHOOD
“The advocacy and political arms of Planned Parenthood in Missouri today announced the endorsement of State Auditor Nicole Galloway for Missouri Governor.”
“Planned Parenthood Action Fund — in solidarity with patients, staff, and supporters — stands with the Movement for Black Lives’ call to defund the police.”
INDIVISIBLE
