John,

Yesterday, I was honored to speak at the American Economic Liberties
Project's Anti-Monopoly Summit. The reality is corporate monopolies harm
our country and hurt American families.

Growing up in Braddock, I became an anti-monopolist through lived
experience. I saw firsthand how corporations chose their own wealth over
our health and put profits over people. As a child, I didn't understand
the details of antitrust, but everyone in our region understood what was
happening.

After decades of deregulation by state and federal government, corporate
power is more concentrated than ever — and nowhere is that more clear than
at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center (UPMC).

UPMC has a monopoly on health care in Western Pennsylvania, operating 40
hospitals in the region. Recently, State Rep. Sara Innamorato and I
released a report with the American Economic Liberties Project detailing
how UPMC's monopoly harms both health care workers and patients.

As PA-12's Congresswoman, I'm committed to using every tool to hold UPMC
and all corporate monopolies accountable. [ [link removed] ]Will you donate

I didn't get involved in this because I wanted to pick fights with large
corporations like UPMC. I got involved in this because the heart of our
progressive movement has to be workers, and workers are driving this
effort.

Workers are putting forth the agenda and organizing model to take on
corporate giants, and it's my responsibility as Congresswoman to support
them. That's why I'm legislating to ban non-competes, break up monopolies,
support workers' ability to unionize, and get corporate money out of
politics.

The reality is the victories we're working towards now are going to have
an effect on what comes next in communities across the country and for the
next generation of workers.

The people of PA-12 sent me to Congress to take on the billionaire CEOs,
union-busters, and price gougers ripping our families off. [ [link removed] ]We're more
powerful when we work together, so
John, will you chip in $5 or
more today to strengthen our movement?

Thank you,

Summer
