John, I'll be honest — this is the last text I wanted to receive today:
|
According to my team's latest reports, we're still about $2,000 short of meeting our online goal.
|
John, there are a few reasons why meeting this goal is so important:
1️⃣ With Election Day just over a month out, this is one of our last chances to fully prepare for the busiest season of my campaign so far. We need your help to ramp up our efforts to meet voters, share the work I've done for our community, and afford essential campaign materials.
2️⃣ Meeting our goals gives prospective allies an encouraging sign to join our team and help other progressive candidates who care about delivering for our people as much as I do.
3️⃣ A strong quarterly report — fueled by your grassroots donations — is key to showing journalists, analysts, and of course, right-wing leaders, the strength of my people-powered movement.
The bottom line here is this: I work like hell for legislation that protects workers, improves our criminal justice system, and makes Illinois a place we can all be proud to call home. And while I want to continue, my team and I are focused on getting through Election Day.
Like I said, this is one of our last chances to fully prepare for the busy season ahead — will you help my team and I meet our goal with a donation before midnight?

Senator Robert Peters was born in 1985 deaf and with a massive speech impediment. His biological mother was addicted to drugs and alcohol, and his adopted mother and father were a social worker and a civil rights lawyer. He saw first hand the impact and devastation of the racist war on drugs.
As he grew up, he admired the work his father did as a civil rights and criminal defense attorney, challenging wrongdoing by the police. This combined with the effect of the criminalization of addiction, inspired his work on criminal justice reform rooted in the safety, freedom, and wellness of all people.
A defining moment for Peters was the Great Recession, as he struggled to find work and lost his parents within a year and a half of each other. He found his power through political organizing in solidarity with a variety of organizations in Chicago fighting for justice.
As a state senator, Peters has championed the end of cash bail in Illinois after years of organizing around it before becoming a Senator. This legislative session alone, Peters has passed six bills out of the Senate, as he continues to push Illinois forward as a leader in criminal justice reform and true public safety for all. He chairs the Labor Committee in the Senate and is Chair of the Senate Black Caucus. He is focused on environmental justice, racial justice, economic freedom, and public safety for all.
