John,

Our campaign is based on building towards a world where every person is housed and has enough not just to get by, but to thrive. Cori’s been advocating for affordable housing, against unfair evictions, and for funding our community services for this exact reason. That’s why this Giving Tuesday, we’re supporting a local organization doing that work on the ground in St. Louis: Rise.

Rise has been working to connect communities with local institutions to empower the revitalization of neighborhoods in Greater St. Louis for over 30 years, helping provide over 5,000 affordable housing opportunities to the region. Rise also works hand-in-hand with communities so that the process and plans are collaborative rather than prescriptive because under-served communities deserve a say in their future.

Bringing together neighbors, non-profit organizations, financial institutions and government alike, Rise is working every day to make successful neighborhood revitalization possible.

With love and humanity,

Team Cori
