Did you see this, John?

Cori recently did an interview with Elle magazine where she talks about her activism experience with the movement fighting for Black lives and how it inspires the work she’s doing right now in Congress to dismantle white supremacy.

Here is one of our favorite moments from this interview:

Question: "One of the things I admire is how unapologetic you are. That includes calling out some of your colleagues, like Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene. You don't have a problem condemning white supremacy on the House floor. But we know that comes with criticism, especially for Black, brown, and Indigenous women of color. How do you combat that?"

Cori: "My priority is the people who have been left out, who haven't felt seen, haven't felt heard. So when my colleagues make statements or when they do things that I know for a fact are rooted in white supremacy... when I see that my colleagues are perpetuating it right in front of my face, then I have to call it out. Because the thing is, I would call it out if I was at home on the street.

My background getting to Congress, part of that started on the streets of Ferguson, fighting to save Black lives. I said, ‘the same fight you see me fight out on the streets’ — that same bit of passion and that same courage and that bullhorn — 'is what I'm taking to Congress.’ So I don't care. I don't care what your title is. I don't care who your mama is, how much money you have, none of that matters to me. I care about you treating my people right. I care about the dignity and safety and the peace and justice for my folks... And if you don't like the way that I do it, that's not on me. You should have fixed it, because I'm a product of your lack of leadership.”

It’s clear that Cori understands first-hand the issues impacting our communities and the urgent policies Congress needs to pass to deliver transformative change for our country.

She’s ready to lead this fight — but if we want Cori to focus on legislation and not fundraising, we need help from grassroots supporters like you.

Can you chip in $5 or anything you can to support Cori’s leadership in Congress so she can continue calling out white supremacy and legislating in defense of Black lives? [[link removed]]
