Community Power
Is Not Symbolic.
It Is Operational.
This campaign is built in partnership with the people, organizations, and cultural leaders already doing the work in St. Louis.
The District Repair Office does not replace community work.
It connects it to federal power.
COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIP IS NOT ENDORSEMENT.
Three distinct roles. Three distinct purposes.
COMMUNITY PARTNER
A community partner is directly engaged in the lived realities of the district.
THEY MAY BE:
• Organizers
• Artists
• Advocates
• Service providers
• Cultural leaders
• Residents with deep community ties
THEIR ROLE:
✓ Surface real issues
✓ Provide grounded insight
✓ Help shape response pathways
✓ Participate in public-facing work
LOCAL PARTNER
A local partner is an organization, institution, or entity operating within the district that contributes to solutions.
THEY MAY INCLUDE:
• Nonprofits
• Small businesses
• Clinics
• Schools
• Trade groups
• Faith institutions
THEIR ROLE:
✓ Provide infrastructure or services
✓ Collaborate on implementation
✓ Support outreach and access
✓ Help scale solutions
NOT ENDORSEMENT
This is not an endorsement list.
ENDORSEMENT MEANS:
• Public political support
• Alignment with a campaign outcome
PARTNERSHIP MEANS:
• Working relationship
• Shared commitment to addressing real issues
• Participation in a system of accountability and response
What This Page Represents
This is not a list of endorsements.
This is a working network of individuals, organizations, and institutions that help identify real needs in the district, shape responses, and connect public reality to federal action.
Community and local partners are part of the structure of representation itself.
Why Partnership Matters
Government often fails not because solutions do not exist,
but because it is disconnected from the people already doing the work.
This model closes that gap.
Real issues are identified faster
Patterns become visible earlier
Solutions are grounded in reality
Federal tools are applied where they matter
Accountability becomes shared and visible
Partnership Types
Different partners contribute in different ways.
Each role helps move real work forward in the district.

ALAYNA LOVELYY -COMMUNITY PARTNER
We’re working with Alayna Lovelyy to bring music, healing, and real community presence directly into our neighborhoods.
That means simple, real things:
Music in the park.
Events for kids.
Safe, positive spaces where families can show up, relax, and feel like the community is actually there for them.
Lovelyy isn’t just supporting the campaign—she’s out there with us, helping create moments that people can feel.
WHERE YOU’LL SEE HER:
• Park events and neighborhood pop-ups
• Community gatherings and campaign events
• Local performances tied to this work
• Online through her music and updates from the campaign
We’re building something that people can actually experience—not just hear about.
And this is part of that.
WHAT SHE’S DOING WITH US:
• Hosting music sessions for kids and families in local parks
• Bringing live performances into community spaces—not just venues
• Helping create calm, healing environments through sound and presence
• Showing up to events and being part of the community, not separate from it
• Using her platform to highlight what’s really happening in the district
This is about more than politics.
It’s about making sure people—especially young people—have something positive, creative, and real to be part of.
KEVY — COMMUNITY PARTNER
We’re working with Kevy to make something simple but powerful more available in our community:
Someone to talk to. Just a real person. A good listener, and a friend.
Kevy runs “My Friend Kevy”—a friendly conversation service where people can call and just talk. No pressure, no judgment. Just connection.
WHAT HE DOES
• Offers one-on-one conversations for people who need someone to talk to
• Creates a space where people can be heard without being rushed or dismissed
• Shows up with consistency, patience, and real presence
• Focuses on connection—not crisis response, not bureaucracy
WHAT THIS MEANS FOR THE DISTRICT
Not everyone needs a program.
Sometimes people just need someone who will listen.
This partnership makes space for that—
in a way that’s simple, real, and easy to access.
WHERE TO CONNECT
• Through “My Friend Kevy” directly
• At community events and gatherings
• Through campaign channels where his work will be shared
We’re building a campaign that recognizes something basic:
Connection matters.
And this is part of that.
Work With This Campaign
If you are already doing work in this district,
you are already part of the solution.
This system is designed to connect that work to broader impact.
