A long time activist, Julie Terbrock officially started her involvement in the movement for progressive change as a practicum
student and eventually the St. Louis Regional Organizer for Missouri Progressive Vote Coalition. There she worked on numerous candidate, ballot and issue campaigns. She has had the opportunity to see our state government work from the inside as a Legislative Assistant to Representative Maria Chappelle-Nadal. Most recently, she has worked with the refugee and immigrant population in St. Louis to assist with securing employment and achieving self-sufficiency. Julie currently serves on the St. Louis Area Jobs with Justice Leadership Team as Mobilization Co-Chair, a position that has given her the chance to work closely on current voter education campaigns about the so-called "Missouri Civil Rights Initiative" that is trying to ban affirmative action in the state of Missouri.

Morgan@MissouriProVote.org |
Applying skills learned during his early work in the fine dining industry, Morgan has approached his education and work with the desire to continue serving his community. As a part of his undergraduate work at Wichita State University in Wichita, Kansas, Morgan began his political career as an intern at a pro-choice, progressive political action committee. During that internship, Morgan was introduced to the financial aspects of political work, and he has brought that experience to bear in his work with Missouri ProVote. During the 2006 election cycle, Morgan worked as the secretary of the Wichita State College Democrats, and was active in that group’s involvement with a successful campaign to unseat a regressive, right-wing state Attorney General. After being elected president of that organization in 2007, Morgan continued his participation in progressive campus politics. During the 2008 election cycle, Morgan continued his work on a number of state and local campaigns in Kansas as Lead Field Organizer with ZLW Consulting. Morgan has a BA in Political Science, with a minor in History, from Wichita State University.
