Missouri ProVote advances progressive values in Missouri by identifying progressive candidates for state office, supporting their campaigns, and then holding elected officials accountable through the legislative process.
ProVote continues to partner with organizations like Families USA, Health Care for America Now, and Citizens for Tax Justice, to release solid policy research on the issues that are important to progressives.

In our effort to protect Missouri’s highest priorities, we cannot ignore the toll that the President’s invasion and occupation of Iraq has taken on our ability to invest in Missouri’s future. The war is unpopular, immoral, and unaffordable – both in the immeasurable cost of human lives and in its effect on our ability to craft a budget that invests in Missouri’s future. As a first step toward the ultimate goal of bringing our troops home, Missouri Pro Vote Coalition is helping to lead Americans Against Escalation In Iraq, a diverse coalition of organizations that represent workers, students, academics, veterans and their families, policy experts and activists, who oppose the president’s plan to escalate the war.
