Friend, I'm Sen. Robert Peters. I don't want to bother you before the weekend, but this can't wait.
Our End of Quarter Fundraising Deadline is at midnight tonight.
Before I tell you why this means so much to me and my team, we're counting on a strong show of grassroots support to help us meet the deadline before it's too late. Will you help us reach our goal by donating today? ([link removed])

Friend, a little about me first – I was born and raised in Hyde Park by my adoptive parents. They taught me early on the importance of advocating for change in your community, and having been in office since 2019, that's exactly what I've tried to do.
This session, I fought for temp workers, for criminal justice reform, and for lower healthcare costs.
Together, I want to continue this fight in Springfield to make sure we're all treated equally.
But there's a lot at stake today. It's the last day of the quarter, and that means it's a massive fundraising deadline. This can have a huge effect on our efforts moving forward. Let me explain –
1️⃣ Meeting this goal tells anyone – journalists, analysts, and conservative leaders – about the strength and depth of support for our work.
2️⃣ A strong fundraising quarter is a great way to encourage potential partners, like local organizations, to join Team Peters.
3️⃣ It allows us to make room in the budget for the rest of our summer expenses – resident outreach and essential campaign materials like yard signs and mailers.
Here's the bottom line: We're relying on grassroots support to help our team make it through the last half of the year. We're so close to meeting our goal, any amount of support will make a difference. Friend, can we count on your support ASAP? ([link removed])

============================================================
Senator Robert Peters was born in 1985 deaf and with a massive speech impediment. His biological mother was addicted to drugs and alcohol, and his adopted mother and father were a social worker and a civil rights lawyer. He saw first hand the impact and devastation of the racist war on drugs.

As he grew up, he admired the work his father did as a civil rights and criminal defense attorney, challenging wrongdoing by the police. This combined with the effect of the criminalization of addiction, inspired his work on criminal justice reform rooted in the safety, freedom, and wellness of all people.
A defining moment for Peters was the Great Recession, as he struggled to find work and lost his parents within a year and a half of each other. He found his power through political organizing in solidarity with a variety of organizations in Chicago fighting for justice.
As a state senator, Peters has championed the end of cash bail in Illinois after years of organizing around it before becoming a Senator. This legislative session alone, Peters has passed six bills out of the Senate, as he continues to push Illinois forward as a leader in criminal justice reform and true public safety for all. He chairs the Labor Committee in the Senate and is Chair of the Senate Black Caucus. He is focused on environmental justice, racial justice, economic freedom, and public safety for all.
