Cori is making all the headlines, John. Last week, Teen Vogue announced that Cori will be on their January cover!
Cori’s only been in office for 21 days and she’s already impressed millions of Americans with her courage and commitment to fighting for bold change.
From being the first Black woman to represent Missouri in Congress, to co-leading the resolution to impeach Trump, and introducing legislation to expel Republican members of Congress who supported the attempts to overturn the election results — Cori’s leadership is sending shockwaves across the country.
And this is just the start. Will you chip in anything you can give so Cori can continue leading the fight for racial justice, accountability, and policies that lift up all of our communities?

In the Teen Vogue article, Cori talks about her family’s experiences that motivated her to run for Congress and inspire her work to legislate for people-first change:
"Now fresh adults at 19 and 20, Bush’s children are no strangers to the violence of daily life in the United States. They have seen everything, she says. 'The brutality, losing my home, and so many things. They watched me go through the violent sexual assault that happened after my very first race, when I ran for U.S. Senate. They watched me go through four months where I was not myself, where I couldn't even cook a meal. I couldn't step outside of my home. They watched that.' For years, they also witnessed law enforcement launch authorized attacks on the people of Ferguson, their mom included. “Because I was gone so much during Ferguson, I would ask them before going back out into the streets, ‘Hey, has mama been gone too much? Do you want me to stay home tonight?’" Bush says. "And they would say, ‘No, mom. We know what you're doing. You out trying to save the world, mama. Go.’"
Our fight for people-first, progressive change in Congress is personal for Cori. She understands first-hand the issues that impact our communities the most and has made it clear that she will always put our families first as she legislates in Congress.
