John,

Last week, Cori Bush called out Republicans for their racist policies on the floor of the House of Representatives. She also called out Florida’s governor for defending the state’s recent school curriculum updates that would teach students that enslaved people benefited from slavery.

Cori is the first activist from the movement for Black lives to be elected to Congress, and she’s surrounded by our country’s anti-Black racism every day. She works in a Capitol building built by enslaved people. Past presidents and members of Congress enslaved Black people, and a fifth of the country’s current powerful decision-makers are direct descendants of enslavers.[1]

Cori Bush isn’t like most members of Congress. She’s lived the same struggles that everyday Americans endure, which is what drives her fierce urgency for transformational change. She knows that anti-Black racism is built into our country’s institutions, and she’s not going to let right-wing extremists erase our country’s history and present truth.

Can you chip in $5 or more today to support Rep. Cori Bush as she takes on right-wing extremists and dismantles white supremacy?

White supremacy is entrenched in this country and our work to eradicate it depends on our ability to face its painful truth -- not hide behind whitewashed history.

That’s why Cori is boldly pushing for visionary policies such as reparations, investing in Black communities, and healing the harms of criminalization and environmental racism. She’s helping create the multi-racial democracy we truly need in order to have healthy, thriving communities in the United States.

Please donate today to support Cori’s re-election to Congress so she can keep building the anti-racist society we need.
