Missouri is seeing major political and social shifts—from housing struggles to local elections and education policy debates. Here’s what you need to know 👇 🏠 Renters organize across Missouri Tenants are forming unions to fight rising rents, unsafe living conditions, and a severe shortage of affordable housing. In fact, Missouri has only about 27 affordable homes for every 100 extremely low-income renters, pushing many toward collective action like tenant unions and even lawsuits to stay housed. 🗳️ Voters shake up local leadership in Festus After officials approved a controversial $6 billion data center, residents in Festus voted out multiple city council members. Many voters said the decision lacked transparency and ignored community concerns, leading to a major political backlash. 📚 Educators push back on new reading law Missouri lawmakers are considering a bill that would require struggling third-grade readers to repeat the grade. Teachers and administrators argue the policy could do more harm than good, saying retention doesn’t address root learning issues and may disrupt progress already being made through literacy programs. 💬 These stories highlight a bigger picture: Missourians organizing, voting, and speaking out on issues that directly impact their lives. 👉 What do YOU think about these changes?
