We need your urgent support to keep our ads on the air and get out the vote for Rep. Cori Bush in this final week of her primary race.

Justice Democrats

John, it’s official: we have only one week left to save Rep. Cori Bush’s seat in Congress from a phony Democratic challenger taking millions from AIPAC and other far-right megadonor groups.

Can you rush $5 between Cori’s campaign and Justice Democrats right NOW to help keep our ads on the air and get out the vote in this final week before the primary?

At this point, our opponents have spent more than $12 million across Missouri’s 1st district attacking Cori with lies and making her opponent out to be something he’s not: a progressive champion for the people of St. Louis.

Wesley Bell claims he’s a Ferguson activist, but the truth is, he’s the prosecutor who made broken promises to Michael Brown’s family and the community of Ferguson to climb the political ladder and then failed to hold Darren Wilson accountable or create real reform.

Tweet from Heather Lindsy: The audacity of Wesley Bell claiming he was a Ferguson activist in his ads while running to unseat OUR Ferguson activist is just beyond! The BIG money behind his campaign keeps me donating $3, $15, $30 small amts when I can so the exchange commission reports show PEOPLE not PACs

But Cori? Cori is the real deal. A nurse, pastor, and community activist, Cori has the experience in both the St. Louis community and in Congress to back up the fact that she’s a true champion for working people, criminal justice reform, and human rights. As Bernie Sanders put it:

“She has lived the struggles regular, everyday people endure and her mission since being elected is to do the very most for her community — starting with those who have the very least.”

As we approach the 10th anniversary of Michael Brown’s death at the hands of police, Cori has released her final ad of this campaign to give Michael’s family a platform and set the record straight on Bell’s broken promises. The powerful ad is making waves, as noted by Politico:

Politico: MO-01 — Democratic Rep. Cori Bush features the father and sister of Michael Brown, who was killed by a police officer in 2014. “I feel like he lied to us,” Mike Brown Sr. said of Bush’s primary opponent Wesley Bell, the St. Louis county prosecutor. “He used my family for power, and now he’s trying to sell out St. Louis,” he added.  … Justice Democrats, the progressive group backing Bush, pushes back against “Republican lies” attacking Bush.  … United Democracy Project, the American Israel Public Affairs Commitee’s super PAC, says that Bush “has her own agenda” as “Democrats need to stick together to get things done” in a closely divided Congress.

If we want to achieve justice and progress for all, we can’t let a liar and hypocrite like Bell replace one of our fiercest progressive voices in Congress.

Cori is being dramatically outspent by Republican millionaires and corporate special interests who want to see Bell defeat her, so we’re coming to you in this final week of the primary to ask for your much-needed grassroots support.

Please pitch in $5 or anything you can afford to fuel our efforts to get out the vote for Cori before MO-01 voters cast their ballots next Tuesday.
