John, regular, everyday people need real relief right now.
As Congress debates the next round of COVID relief, Democrats have been demanding survival checks worth at least $1,200.
But Republicans are now trying to cut those checks from $1,200 all the way down to $600.
For so many people, the difference between $1,200 and $600 is massive. Cori has been unhoused. She has lived paycheck-to-paycheck. She knows that $600 is the difference between having a motel room or sleeping in your car.
John, we can't let them get away with this. We need to fight for real relief for ordinary people, not corporations.
In Congress, Cori will lead that fight. But it's clear that, for us to win, we're going to need a strong progressive movement to counteract our sizable Republican opposition. If you can, will you make a gift to help us grow that movement?

This virus and its economic fallout are killing Black and brown people disproportionately. Real COVID relief is an issue of racial justice.
That's why we're fighting so hard for those $1,200 survival checks, as well as to restore $600 unemployment insurance and to make these benefits retroactive to March.
In Congress, Cori is going to fight as hard as she can to give our communities real COVID relief. And, even when the pandemic is over, she's going to keep up the fight for real relief from poverty and the systemic economic disadvantages that so many in our communities face.
But it's clear this is going to be an uphill battle. So we're working hard right now to build the power we'll need once Cori joins Congress next month. You can support our efforts by making a gift today.
Thanks,
Team Cori Bush
