Today we rallied for Ending the Military Madness, and particularly for ending the war on Iran.

After rallying we met with Sen. Josh Hawley's staff to express our concerns.

Thanks to all who came out for our NO KINGS actions on Saturday! We had 480 cards completed at the postcard party (thanks Hexagon Alley!), and we have almost that many being completed at home. We still have 11 bundles of 30 available to complete if anyone would like to get in on that action! Come by the Peace Nook and grab a bundle or do them in our lounge (we have addresses and sample messages)! We are making a difference in Boone County to progressive voters who need a nudge to vote!

Many have been wondering about the No Kings Early Voting campaign. See comments.

10/09/2026

We all know that sometimes life gets in the way of voting on election day! Early voting ensures that you can get your vote counted. In keeping with the fall No Kings efforts going on around the country, Mid-Missouri Peaceworks will be hosting 2 events on Oct. 17th to encourage early voting. We invite you to stand with us at the City Hall keyhole at the corner of 8th & Broadway at 12:15. We will also hold a postcard writing event at Hexagon Alley from 1-3pm to encourage voters to vote early. (RSVP at https://tinyurl.com/ydpa6k58) For more information, call 573-875-0539.

In Missouri, the first day to vote early is Oct. 20th. Here in Boone County, that can be done at the County Clerk's office at 801 E. Walnut.

Did ya hear: This workshop is happening tomorrow, Wednesday, 6:30 at The Peace Nook

All are invited to attend this FB event. Wonder what we'll be talking about?

Some of what we'll explore at this workshop:

1) Explore (brainstorm) reasons for pursuing electoral politics, including, but also beyond, the obvious benefit of helping elect candidates one favors.

2) Explore limitations of electoral politics.

3) Discuss the various options for volunteer engagement in the electoral realm.

4) Roles and tactics for electoral activism

5) Vote for the Climate: What do we mean when we say “Vote for the Climate?” How do we do it and what do we hope to accomplish?

We had an excellent time at PrideFest this weekend. Talked with lots of folks, gave out lots of newsletters and sold lots of Fair Trade merch. Thanks to all the volunteers who made it possible and to all in the community who lent their support. Pictured here are two of the volunteers, Nettie and Sophia.

09/22/2026

We are working on a big mailing, with 3,000 labels to put on newsletters. If you can help, please come to The Peace Nook (back door if after 7 p.m.). If it's late, feel free to call us to confirm we're still here. See comment for #.

KOMU coverage of the Climate Rally and Walk.

Mid-Missouri Peaceworks took on the heat Sunday, hosting a rally and 5K walk to promote action on climate change.

When you wake up Sunday morning, wipe the sleep from your eyes and think to yourself "What am I doing today?" don't forget to remember that today's the day of big Climate Rally. The time has come to make our voices for climate sanity heard. Join us for the Rally, for sure, and the 5-K walk if you're feeling up for it. Make waves, folks!
