Many of us Progressives have felt adrift since we lost “our only hope”, Bernie Sanders.  The hardest blow came when Donald Trump took the presidency from Hillary Clinton.  But today in Jefferson City, with the formation of the Missouri Democratic Party’s Progressive Caucus, we were formally given a voice within the Democratic Party.  We are truly and officially empowered to begin shaping good policies for ALL Missourians.  This was a heart-warming and much-needed reunion.  My mind and spirit are re-ignited, and I’m honored to continue the revolution alongside so many passionate, hard-working, inspiring people!
