We are so excited for all of the support for Kina Collins’s campaign for Congress, but we are still short of the 750 grassroots contributions we need to raise so Kina’s campaign can get a strong start.Will you chip in $3 towards Kina’s campaign right now?

John,

Let us explain why your donation is so important right now.

In the first few weeks of announcing a Congressional campaign, most candidates are expected to raise thousands of dollars just from their family and friends. But Kina doesn’t have billionaires or corporate PAC money behind her. Kina needs money in the bank to create the campaign structure needed to defeat a well-connected incumbent backed by wealthy donors.

Kina is a working-class organizer running a grassroots campaign against a well-funded Democratic incumbent. We’ve seen this play out before and know that it’s going to take people like yourself chipping in $3, $5, or whatever they can for Kina to win.

Alexandria, Cori, Jamaal, and Marie all defeated out-of-touch Democratic incumbents because of small-dollar donations from people like you. And with your help, we’ll elect Kina to join them in Congress. Will you chip in $3 directly to Kina’s campaign so that she can join the Justice Democrats Congressional coalition?

Illinois’ 7th Congressional District is home to Chicago’s wealthy financial district, giant tech companies, and big real estate developments — while just a couple of miles away, the community struggles with unemployment, gun violence, and unsafe drinking water. Congressman Danny Davis has been a representative for health insurance companies, the real estate industry, and big corporations, not the Chicagoans that elected him. That is why we are excited about Kina’s people-powered campaign to defeat him.

We know that our 750 grassroots donor goal is ambitious, but we need to show the establishment that our campaign is strong enough to take on Rep. Danny Davis. Will you help Kina reach her goal?

In solidarity,

Justice Democrats
