John, I know you're anxious to get the weekend, but with not a lot of time left, I need your help.

In the past couple of months, my team and I have been working hard to collect the thousands of signatures I need to get back on the ballot in 2024.

One of my favorite parts of my job is getting to meet people in my community and share how I'll prioritize improving our criminal justice system, keeping our neighborhoods safe, and standing up for our working families.

But I can't continue to represent our district in the Illinois Senate without putting in the work to get my name back on the ballot. That's why my team and I are relying on grassroots support to help us cover things like travel and supply costs and training for our volunteers.

We only have two more weekends to collect the rest of the signatures I need. With no time to waste, will you chip in any amount to help us finish petition season strong? ([link removed])

Thank you,
Sen. Robert Peters

============================================================
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.
