John,
Just weeks ago, Cori Bush unseated a longtime incumbent in her primary. This was not just a victory for our movement. It was a mandate for change. If she's elected to the House this fall, she'll expand our progressive voting bloc and help bring about the bold, transformative change our nation needs.
We need Cori fighting alongside us in Congress, but she's up against two far-right candidates who are determined to defeat an unapologetic progressive with Black Lives Matter roots. Her organizing team is helping folks in her community register to vote, request their ballots, and learn what's at stake in this election — but it takes a lot of resources to keep that kind of operation going.
If you've stored your info with ActBlue Express, we'll process your contribution instantly:
Like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Rashida Tlaib, Ayanna Pressley, and myself, Cori will bring an organizer's mindset to Congress — she understands the struggles of her community because she's lived them herself.
She'll fight like hell for people-first solutions like Medicare for All, a Green New Deal, and an end to mass incarceration because she's seen the harm caused by policies that put corporate profit over people.
Thanks for helping build up our progressive movement.
In solidarity,
Ilhan Omar
