John,

Congresswoman Cori Bush just launched her 2024 re-election campaign, and Justice Democrats is once again proud to support her. Cori is a tireless advocate for the people of St. Louis and for regular, everyday people all across our country and world.

We need Cori’s voice in Congress. From advocating for human rights for all people to working to transform our public safety approach to leading the push for an immediate and lasting ceasefire in Gaza, Cori has always prioritized the people’s interests over all else.

Before I go on about why we need to re-elect Cori, can you split a $3 donation between Justice Democrats and Cori’s campaign today so that we can continue fighting for regular, everyday people together?

As someone who’s been unhoused, Cori knows the trauma and violence of being housing insecure and it informs her policy-making. She led a direct action on the U.S. Capitol steps to push for the reinstatement of the federal eviction moratorium in 2021, helping protect 11 million people from being forced out on the streets during the height of the COVID pandemic. The combination of the eviction moratorium and emergency rental assistance programs decreased evictions by 60%. And that’s because of Cori and our movement’s commitment to saving lives.

Cori’s been working to dismantle white supremacy long before she was first elected. As a Congresswoman, she’s taken on our broken criminal legal system which has disproportionately harmed Black and brown communities. Cori has been paving the path for a better, more holistic approach to public safety for years. From introducing the People’s Response Act, visionary legislation to help end police brutality, and introducing the End Solitary Confinement Act to end the cruel and torturous practice of solitary confinement, Cori is leading the way for a better, safer future for everyone.

And of course, Cori unapologetically stands for peace and humanity. That's why since October of last year, Cori has been leading the Ceasefire Now resolution in Congress, a call to action to end the violence in Gaza that the vast majority of Democratic voters and countries around the world support. But Cori didn’t advocate for this because of its popularity; she fought for this because it’s the right thing to do. Our government and taxpayer dollars should not be supporting mass atrocities anywhere, including in Gaza or the West Bank.

But standing for Palestinian human rights has come at a cost: $100 million, to be exact. That’s the amount that AIPAC, a right-wing, pro-war super PAC funded by GOP billionaires is planning on spending against Cori and other Squad incumbents.

Cori and Justice Democrats don’t take money from corporate PACs because we are first and foremost accountable to the people, not profits. That means our work is fueled by people like you, John.

Split a donation between our campaigns today so that we have the resources to overcome the millions of dollars that right-wing billionaire-funded super PACs are planning on spending against us.

Thanks for anything you can give to re-elect Cori and the rest of our Justice Democrats incumbents this year.

In solidarity,

Alexandra Rojas
Executive Director
