John,

Yesterday, I released my final ad in our race against Wesley Bell, our AIPAC-backed opponent. I wanted to use this final ad to give a platform to Michael Brown’s family; to share their continued pursuit for accountability for their son’s death. My opponent made them promises and when he was elected, he broke them. But we can’t stop fighting for Michael Brown. Everything is on the line, and I need your support. Will you consider making a split contribution to Justice Democrats and my campaign today? Your support is crucial in this final stretch.

On August 9, 2014, Mike Brown was killed by a white police officer in Ferguson, Missouri, sparking a national movement to protect Black lives. As an ordained pastor and registered nurse, I was on the front lines, caring for injured protesters and bridging divides within our community. For more than 400 days, I stood with Michael Brown Jr.'s parents. And took their fight to Congress to demand systemic change.

Wesley Bell promised he would bring justice for Michael Brown Sr. and his family. Bell never did, leaving the entire Brown family feeling more than disappointed; they feel lied to.

Wesley was also elected by the people of St. Louis because he promised to reform the Prosecutor’s office. He failed, increasing the incarceration of Black women. Now, as AIPAC and Bell’s Republican megadonors are spending millions of dollars spreading Bell’s lies, I wanted to give Michael Brown’s family the opportunity to set the record straight.

Our new TV spot, featuring Michael Brown Sr. and his daughter, gives a voice to those most harmed by Bell’s lies. I was elected to be St. Louis’ Congresswoman to give a platform to those hurt by our broken systems. By supporting this spot, we can continue to be a voice for justice and give St. Louis the platform it deserves.

With just over a week until Election Day, Bell is attempting to sell out St. Louis, as he lies about his record as a prosecutor, his time in Ferguson, and what people who are truly seeking justice have been able to accomplish in St. Louis, without his help. We must show that AIPAC and their right-wing megadonors cannot buy a Congressional seat in St. Louis. This is our final stretch to ensure every voter hears Michael Brown’s story and Wesley Bell’s lies.

With your help, we can be the change Mike Brown's memory calls us to be.
