The Missouri Organizing and Voter Engagement Collaborative (MOVE) exists to empower ordinary people to reclaim democracy in the state of Missouri. MOVE’s role is behind-the-scenes, supporting grassroots movement organizations in developing and executing strategic integrated voter engagement (IVE) plans.

As part of MOVE’s strategy, they are broadening the number of voters who champion issues that support vulnerable families and children and they are deepening the leadership of those they engage, particularly in Black, brown, and low-income communities. MOVE strives to shift the balance of power in democracy away from partisan and corporate interests and towards the traditionally marginalized—including regular working parents and their children.

Deaconess supports MOVE through our Movement Transformation Grants. Learn more about MOVE here.
