Everyone’s talking about our movement, John.

Earlier this week, Vanity Fair published an article about how Cori has become a “lightning rod for progressive causes.”

The article covers Cori’s work from the moment she arrived to Washington ready to fight and how she’s made it clear that she will be unapologetic and bold in this work for transformative change in our politics. From leading the call on Joe Biden to commute the sentences of federal inmates on death row, to pushing legislation that would allow incarcerated people the right to vote from prison — Cori has become an iconic leader of the progressive movement.

Right now, we’re just 6 days away from our first FEC end-of-quarter filing deadline and it’s important that we put out strong numbers to show everyone that there’s a powerful grassroots team ready to support Cori. Will you chip in $5 so we can hit our goal and give Cori the funds she needs to continue leading the fight for racial justice, accountability, and policies that lift up all of our communities?

In the article, Cori talks about what it’s been like serving in Congress as the first activist from the movement fighting for Black lives to be elected into office.

"We’re seeing this swell of politicians at all levels who were activists first. We’re starting to see more people being directed in an outfacing way [at] dismantling white supremacy and everything it has created. Coming from an activist background, that’s what we did on the street. That’s who we were. We looked at it as: This is a system we have to tear apart. Because of what we’ve gone through, of what we saw on the ground, we decided to use that fire and that passion and that organizing skill to win seats around the country.

I didn’t necessarily understand why people felt like I was so different coming into Congress. But now I see that that’s part of it. I promised the people on the streets of Ferguson and all throughout St. Louis, the same way I use my bullhorn, the same way I put my body on the line, is what I would do in Congress. That’s why this change is happening. Because people are ready."

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.

But Cori can’t do this work alone. That’s why it’s critical we reach our $90,000 end-of-quarter goal and make sure we can fund Cori’s fight to champion everyday people in Congress. [[link removed]]

This movement is 100% funded by grassroots donors like you and every dollar you give helps us build our progressive movement.

Together,
Team Cori
