Get involved with local and state ballot initiatives or start one yourself. Over 60% of MO voters voted to shoot down “Right to Work” a few years ago. 53% voted to legalize cannabis. Etc.
Vetting progressive candidates, knocking doors for them (very important) and getting them elected is the only way to stop the stranglehold that CoC has on the city. It takes hard work but you can win.
A good way to get the chops for it is joining or getting active in your union and if you can’t do that you can get good campaign training and experience working with Jobs with Justice. They’re great. Do the work, keep going.
Someone already mentioned several affinity groups that are interested in the very same things OP mentioned. These are the like minded folks you want to build relationships with and work with. Then keep going.

Correct. Thats the point. Ironically, my wife and her mother were present when the pastor was ranting about it being some kind of medium, dark spirit channeling, sorcery. They had both done yoga many times so of course they questioned it amongst themselves and didn’t agree.
There was also some situation where they terminated a good long term employee or member or something because it came out they were gay. My mother in law is pretty liberal, cares about people, tries her best to not judge others, etc and it bothered me to see her questioning and having this internal conflict with her moral beliefs and religion beliefs.

I feel your frustration. 🥴
Honestly, I’m a member of a few community organizations, and I think a fresh new push on bringing those organizations closer together would be nice. And I agree that if we organized more effectively, we could change the political scene in the area. I would also say that there’s many people who haven’t gotten back out into the community after the worst of covid times, and I applaud OPs attempt to call to action.
I’m not deeply familiar with united way…I just remember hearing that they are the type of organization that works to bring charitable organizations together and help make connections there. With that being said, I have not heard a thing about them being active here, but I’ll look into that.

What happens if it’s true? Seriously? Id be jumping aboard to have them heal me and everyone I know of all illnesses before this entire area is swarmed by people coming from all over the world to have their loved ones cured of illness. Meanwhile you better believe big Pharma is going to be putting hits out to kill off all of these magic healers at JR before they pass the gospel on to other folks and we’re surrounded by magic healers.
Some would argue otherwise? Not many would argue
Why is it important? If miracles like this are possible, this world would be a much better place without health insurance.

That means, I believe God can regrow toes. It doesn't say anywhere that I think he did.
My grip is strong, my friend.

"I didn't say yes or no".

Look at how you reacted when I actually gave you a sincere response. This interaction says a lot more about you than it does me.
I still never even told you a yes or no. So, further proving the mob doesn't care about facts.

Like “United Way of the Ozarks?” Or Community Partnership of the Ozarks? Or Community Foundation of the Ozarks? Or like previously mentioned Drew Lewis Foundation?
Seriously, I think the best thing we all can do is find an existing organization like these with a program that addresses a cause your passionate about and get involved. And then get super involved and learn to advocate for that program’s expansion and access to more grants and community coordination. Trying to organize without an incredibly specific cause is a recipe for in-fighting and accomplishing nothing- which is exactly why our current political parties suck.

That's not even what this thread of the comments was about.
For the sake of feeding you: I believe God is capable of anything. I do not know this lady in question, so I don't know if He provided new toes or not.
I think if it happened to me, I would be so thrilled to share His miracle with the world that I would provide proof. But we're all different.

Good luck on that "demographic change" when y'all ran Black people out in the early 1900s to the point they fled to the Bootheel and never came back.
