When our government ground to a halt for the last few weeks, one thing certainly wasn’t affected: Cori Bush’s commitment to the people.
Last Friday, Cori was on her way to speak at the Indiana Center for Middle East Peace event in Fort Wayne, Indiana. This small but mighty progressive community is doing courageous work organizing in one of the reddest states in the country, promoting justice, dignity, and real people-powered democracy.
But the overworking of our air transport system almost made everything fall apart. She sat on the tarmac for four hours. Then the announcement came: her flight was cancelled because of the shutdown chaos.
Most people would have turned around, blamed the situation, and called it a day.
Cori Bush is not like most people.
