This is what it has come to, John:

Cori Bush @CoriBush

A maskless Marjorie Taylor Greene & her staff berated me in a hallway. She targeted me & others on social media.
I'm moving my office away from hers for my team's safety.
I've called for the expulsion of members who incited the insurrection from Day 1. Bring H.Res 25 to a vote.

This cannot continue.
No one should be forced to face intimidation and violent threats from their own co-workers. But that's exactly what's happening to members of Congress and their staffs right now. If Republicans pay no price for their behavior, it will only grow worse.
That's why it's so important that the Republicans making these threats and inciting this violence are held accountable right now. Here's what WFP supporters have already done:
-
We've made thousands of calls to Congress to demand passage of Cori Bush's resolution to expel every member of Congress who sought to overturn the presidential election results.
-
We mobilized more than 100,000 people to call for the impeachment of Donald Trump, a full investigation of the events of 1/6, and accountability for everyone who played a role in it.
-
And your grassroots donations have funded billboards in Colorado and Texas calling for the expulsion of Lauren Boebert and Ted Cruz.
We need to put a stop to these threats now. We need to secure jobs and care for working families immediately, as the pandemic continues to rage.
We're not about to back down from either of these fights, and we know you aren't either.
If you can, please make a contribution to WFP before our end-of-month deadline Sunday at midnight so we can keep up the fight on both of these fronts — and be prepared for whatever else 2021 throws our way.

We know that the bad-faith calls for "unity" will only continue to grow louder as the Senate kicks off their impeachment trial of Donald Trump next month.
Others will start saying that Congress doesn't have enough time to hold every member accountable for their actions leading to the white supremacist-led insurrection when we have so many other problems to tackle.
Here's the truth:
Congress needs to get jobs and care to people without delay.
But they also need to make it clear that violence, intimidation, and white supremacy have no place in our democracy. And WE need to make sure they do both at the same time.
We're not backing down from either of these fights. Rush a contribution of $5 or more to help us raise $25,000 by tomorrow night so we can mobilize the full weight of our movement toward jobs and care and justice in 2021.
In solidarity,
Team WFP
