John,
Cori Bush is one of the few members of Congress who’s listening to the American people and people around the world who want to see our government use every piece of leverage to end the brutal annihilation of Palestinians in Gaza, including cutting off aid and diplomatic support to Israel’s government.
Last week, Congresswoman Cori Bush boycotted war criminal Netanyahu’s speech to Congress, explaining: “This invitation is just the latest action our government has taken to greenlight this genocide.” Cori has been by my side demanding a permanent ceasefire and human rights for the Palestinian people, and we need her to stay in Congress.
Because of her leadership and commitment to saving lives, Cori is a target for the anti-Palestinian group AIPAC, which has spent more than $10 million trying to defeat Cori and elect her anti-ceasefire opponent. Their attack ads and mailers are drowning out Cori’s voice and accomplishments.
We have just one week left until Rep. Cori Bush’s primary election, and her race is neck-and-neck.
Can you donate $5 or more directly to Cori’s campaign today to help bring her message to local voters so they hear the truth about Cori, rather than the lies in AIPAC’s attack ads and mailers?
The biggest vehicle for Republican money in Democratic elections, AIPAC and its pro-Trump billionaire donors, has disrupted many Democratic primaries. In addition to this deeply anti-democratic pattern, AIPAC also endorsed more than 100 MAGA insurrectionists in Congress.
These right-wing anti-abortion megadonors are supporting Cori Bush’s opponent in Missouri’s Democratic primary. While Cori is a progressive champion, her opponent ran the political campaign of an anti-abortion Republican who tried to turn their district red.
Meanwhile, Cori’s a survivor of sexual assault who had to get an abortion, and now she’s a leading champion for reproductive justice in Congress. She camped outside the Capitol for five days to delay nationwide evictions and she has introduced visionary legislation to secure our rights to housing, healthcare, utilities, and safety. We need her in Congress to continue demanding that our government stop sending billions of U.S. tax dollars to fund genocide, and instead invest in the American people and lift families out of the cycle of poverty.
Last month, an unprecedented flood of right-wing money led to the defeat of fellow Squad member and ceasefire leader Rep. Jamaal Bowman in his Democratic primary. We can’t let that happen again with Cori. Missouri residents are set to vote in next week’s primary election and they need to hear from her as much as possible between now and then.
With only one week left until Congresswoman Cori Bush’s primary election, can you donate now to defend Cori and send her the resources to push back against AIPAC’s misleading attack ads?

Thank you for standing by my side and demanding a world with equity and justice for all people.
In solidarity,

John,
Our team is in St. Louis right now, knocking on doors to connect with voters about Rep. Cori Bush’s re-election.
Congresswoman Cori Bush is one of the few leading voices in Congress for Palestinian rights, which is why anti-Palestinian group AIPAC has spent more than $10 million to try to defeat her. Now polls show that she and her anti-ceasefire primary opponent are tied.
With one week left until Missouri’s Democratic primary election, can you donate directly to Rep. Cori Bush’s re-election campaign now to defend Cori and send her the resources to push back against AIPAC’s misleading ads?
AIPAC and its network of PACs are supporting Cori’s anti-ceasefire opponent with $2.5 million in direct donations and at least $8 million to flood airwaves and mailboxes with attacks and lies about Cori.
As a survivor of sexual assault who had to get an abortion, Cori Bush is a fierce fighter for abortion rights, including introducing bold bills for true reproductive justice. Cori’s lived experience is why she’s able to serve her neighbors so effectively.
A community organizer and public health provider on the streets of the Ferguson Uprising after Michael Brown’s murder, Cori Bush has also experienced police violence that informed her transformational legislation to create true public safety for all.
Cori is also leading policies to reform the Supreme Court, which overturned our right to abortions and recently ruled to criminalize homelessness. Cori has been unhoused herself, so she knows how urgently our communities need affordable housing, a right to utilities, and an end to poverty.
Cori Bush understands what it’s like to be unseen by our own government, and she’s a progressive champion who we need in Congress. But she needs more resources to connect with more residents in her district and remind people who she is.
Can you donate today to send Cori Bush the resources she needs to counter AIPAC’s attack ads and mailers during this crucial last week of her campaign?

Thank you so much.
