Who We Are

Protect MO Families is a broad-based coalition of organizations and individuals who have come together to support middle-class families and oppose anti-worker policies that would reduce wages and benefits for our families.

We stand for Missouri’s working families, and against the millionaire CEOs, corporate extremists and self-interested politicians who are waging war on the middle class.

Join us in the fight to protect Missouri families.
