Missourians Organizing for Reform and Empowerment (MORE)
MORE organizes low- to moderate- income people to challenge capitalism and corporate power in St. Louis through a mixture of bold, non-violent direct action, rigorous community organizing, and the creation of creative alternatives to capitalism.
MORE believes that the crises of social, economic, climate, and environmental justice that we currently face are intimately connected and will never be adequately addressed without transforming the system that has allowed these crises to flourish. In order to transform the current system, it strives to build an organization and a movement that transcends divisions of class, age, and race as it envisions and builds a more just, sustainable world.
