We’re not waiting for change.

We’re building it.

This isn’t just a community. It’s a counterpunch to a system that forgot us.

The MOVE. is about ownership, connection, and building something real—together.

Welcome to The MOVE. Community –

HOW IT STARTED.

The system wasn’t broken. It was just never built for us.

We didn’t come from wealth. We didn’t have safety nets. We had grit, community, and the belief that if nobody was going to build the future for us, we’d do it ourselves.

MOVE. was born out of years of walking through life’s mess—literally and figuratively—and deciding to stop waiting for permission.

It started with a walk. Then a vision. Now a movement.

Our Mission:

We’re not building another community—we’re building the one we’ve always needed.The kind where people actually look out for each other. Where your effort means something. Where the work you put in doesn’t disappear into someone else’s profit margin—but comes back around and lifts everyone with it.

We got tired of playing by the rules of a system that was never made for us. Tired of watching good people work themselves into the ground with nothing to show for it. Tired of ideas dying in the dirt because no one had the capital, the credit, or the connections.

So we started moving. Not just our feet—though walking plays a big part. But our energy, our money, our mindset. We built a platform where movement turns into momentum, and momentum turns into ownership. Not in theory. In real life. Through projects, land, food, dispensaries, cabins, and more.

This is a self-sustaining ecosystem built on one simple truth: we take care of the people who keep us moving.

We’re not powered by investors. We’re powered by belief.

Not run by suits. Run by locals.

Not trying to scale—we’re trying to stay real.

This is the community we were always looking for. And now we’re building it—together.

Our Philosophy: Joint Capitalism

Joint Capitalism is our answer to a system that’s left too many people out.

It’s our financial model rooted in community ownership, shared effort, and sustainable growth. Through MOVE. Coin—a tangible, utility-backed NFT—members help fund real-world projects, from housing and dispensaries to food systems and water infrastructure. In return, they earn a stake in what they helped build. Everyone contributes, and everyone benefits.

This isn’t charity. It’s not speculation. It’s participation.

Our approach ensures that profits don’t get siphoned off by outside investors or corporate landlords. Instead, they stay close. Every dollar that flows through this ecosystem moves with intention—reinvested into local businesses, affordable housing, better infrastructure, and the people who keep showing up and putting in the work.

It’s not about chasing growth for growth’s sake—it’s about building something that actually lasts. Something we can pass down. Something we can be proud of.

This is how we take care of our own. This is how we keep wealth circulating where it was earned.

This is how we MOVE—together.

A Vision for the Future:

We believe Joplin can lead the way—not just for our region, but for the country.

This town has been overlooked, counted out, and underestimated for too long. But we see it differently. We see a place full of resilient people, untapped potential, and enough heart to fuel a whole new way of living.

The MOVE. Community isn’t just trying to improve Joplin—we’re trying to prove what’s possible when a community takes ownership of its future.

We believe Joplin can become a national model for what community-first development looks like: where businesses don’t just survive, they thrive. Where people aren’t boxed in by debt or stuck in cycles—they move freely, physically and financially. Where profits don’t disappear into corporate pipelines but stay rooted here, uplifting the people who actually built them.

Every MOVE. Coin. Every member. Every project. It’s all part of something bigger. We’re not just changing Joplin. We’re showing the world what’s possible when people move with purpose—and move together.

Why We Move: The Power of Purpose

At The MOVE. Community, movement isn’t just what we do—it’s who we are.

Movement is our medicine. It’s how we stay grounded, stay connected, and stay alive in a world that often wants to keep us stagnant. Whether it’s physical steps, economic shifts, or emotional growth, we believe that forward motion is how we heal, how we build, and how we create something that lasts.

You’ll see it in everything we do.

From walking 24 hours straight to raise awareness…

To cleaning up the streets with Higher Society…

To starting businesses through StartUp Joplin…

To building spaces like JB’s Clubhouse where people can gather without judgment, pressure, or pretense.

Every project under The MOVE. umbrella is designed to do one thing: get people moving—toward something better.

And the movement doesn’t stop there. Our members are more than just supporters—they’re stakeholders. Through community-backed projects like Borderline Crossing, The Midwest Beacon, The Valley, GiftedEats, and others, people aren’t just watching change happen—they’re owning it, shaping it, and sharing in its success.

We don’t move for the sake of movement. We move with purpose. To improve lives. To build legacy. To create momentum that carries everyone forward. This is movement as resistance. Movement as healing. Movement as wealth.

And it’s just getting started.

Let’s Move Together.

Whether you’re here to support local projects, start something of your own, or just want to be part of something real—there’s a place for you in The MOVE. Community.

We don’t care what your resume says. We care that you show up. That you believe in people. That you’re ready to move—with purpose, with heart, and with others who give a damn.

This community wasn’t built for spectators. It was built for walkers, builders, growers, cleaners, planners, creators, and connectors.

If you’ve ever wanted to build something that matters—this is your chance. If you’ve ever felt like the system wasn’t built for you—this is your way in. If you’ve ever wished for something better—

we’re already making it.

Let’s move. Together.
