Missouri Citizens for Safe Communities
Determined to Create a Safer Missouri
Our Mission:
Missouri Citizens for Safe Communities (MO-CSC) is a non-profit, non-partisan organization working in our state with the goal of making Missouri a safe place to live for all of its residents. We believe the best way to do this is by supporting, educating and motivating individuals to advocate for reasonable community and state policies that allow children to learn, thrive and grow to become the next generation of amazing citizens. We began as an online grassroots collective action group in July 2021 that grew quickly to become a non-profit organization in 2022. We are committed to being a force for good in the community through strong communications, lifting one another up, and seeking understanding and common ground to build toward a positive future for everyone.
Missouri Citizens for Safe Communities is a 501(c)(4) non-profit, social welfare organization. According to the Internal Revenue Code, contributions to civic leagues or other section 501(c)(4) organizations generally are not deductible as charitable contributions for federal income tax purposes.
We are grateful for any support or contributions you can make.

Education & Outreach
Our current initiative involves supplying every elementary school in St. Charles county with a copy of Colin Kaepernick’s new book “I color myself different”. His publisher has agreed to give us a significant discount on every copy we purchase. Every book donated will have a sticker on the inside to spread the word about MO-CSC!!
Books are on order! Enough funds were raised to supply every St. Charles County elementary school as well as a few St. Louis County districts as well (we had some special requests from donators).
