💥ICYMI: In a huge win for poor and working Kansas Citians, we overwhelmingly defeated the @Royals 40-year corporate handout ballot measure on Tuesday!
By crushing Question 1, we put the needs of Kansas City’s working class above the priorities of billionaires.

🚨TOMORROW🚨 Join us at noon outside the KC Election Board to tell the Royals: We're No Fools!
They think they can call what they signed a community benefits agreement? Think again! It's a sham and we're not buying it.
Vote No on Question 1 and see you tomorrow!

The @Royals need our support for their multibillion-dollar stadium development, but we won’t allow a corporate handout that leaves #MOworkers behind. We demand a #GoodJobCBA that advances economic and racial justice for the people who call #KansasCity home.

McDonald cited concerns over police using illegal chokeholds and a lack of accountability for officers.
She is hoping the DOJ puts a consent decree together that suggests oversight of KCPD should not be with the state.
She plans to go to DC and protest if DOJ does not answer.
