When Black people need help, calling 911 too often becomes a death sentence.
It’s past time we transform public safety, John.
That’s why today Cori introduced her latest piece of legislation — the People’s Response Act.
When Black people need help, calling 911 too often becomes a death sentence. Through Cori’s bill, the People’s Response Act, we’re making public safety a public health issue. This bill will make massive investments in our communities through grant programs for community-led, health-based investments in public safety.
That means supporting the grassroots organizations on the ground already doing the work of keeping us safe. That means funding a federal, unarmed, trained health responders unit to respond to mental and behavioral health crises. Not only that — we’re going to fund alternatives to police in cities and towns across the country so that every community can have the right responder when they’re in need of help.
We know that passing the People’s Response Act is key to transforming the future of public safety. Can you make a $5 donation to show your support for Cori’s bill and help us build the organizing power we need to continue legislating to defend Black lives?

A better way forward is possible — where a new generation of first responders will serve to protect our communities and provide care for all.
As the first person from the movement fighting for Black lives to serve in Congress, Cori is committed to leading the fight to stop state-sanctioned murder on the House floor. She’s been unapologetic calling out the forces of white supremacy in our police systems, legislating in defense of Black lives, and prioritizing investments in programs that lift all of us up.
If you want to show your support for this work, will you donate $5 or anything you can to power Cori’s fight in Congress legislating in defense of Black lives?
Thank you for your support,
Team Cori
