[1]Cori Bush

Hey John — I’m
Jack. I started working with Cori during her campaign in 2020 and now I
help lead her communications team.

Even before Cori was elected to Congress — it was clear that white
supremacists were threatened by her mission to save Black lives and lift
up the voices of working people.

Every day, our office receives hundreds of messages that range from
threats on Cori’s life, to racist attacks about her activist work. We sent
an email to you last week that shows just some examples of the white
supremacist violence Cori and our office experience every day.

I’m forwarding it to you today to make sure you see the challenges we’re
up against and to remind you that Cori needs our support more than ever to
continue pushing for urgent change in our communities to save Black lives.

[ [link removed] ]I hope after reading this email you will chip in $5 or
whatever you can afford to power Cori’s organizing and legislating work in
Congress. Our fundraising has recently dipped and we can’t afford to show
the GOP that their racist, divisive agenda is hurting our movement.

Together,

Jack B.

FWD: Trigger warning: White Supremacist Violence
From: Team Cori <[email protected]>

John,

Ever since Cori was elected to Congress, white supremacists have been
furious at our movement to save Black lives and have made countless
violent threats on Cori’s life.

Today, we want to show you just a few examples of the threats and racist
messages our office receives EVERY day.

[ [link removed] ][IMG]We receive thousands of these messages every week. Just know: They
won’t stop us. They can’t.

But the rise in attacks on Cori these past weeks has made it even more
clear to us that as we make progress in our work to deliver justice and
freedom for all — white supremacists plan on fighting harder than ever to
slow down our movement. Cori needs our support more than ever to overcome
these wave of attacks:



[ [link removed] ]Will you chip in $5 to help power Cori’s work in
Congress as she leads the fight to save Black lives and dismantle systemic
racism in our country? Your donation sends a loud message to white
supremacists that this movement isn’t slowing down.

John, we
know that these messages are jarring to read.

But we think it’s important you understand what we’re up against in our
mission to save Black lives in Congress. Since Cori’s first day in office
the GOP, Fox News, and every right-wing media group has made Cori a top
target of their false, racist attacks — and it’s only been getting worse.

They know that leaders like Cori post a threat to the status quo. They
know that Cori ran on a promise to legislate in defense of Black lives.
And they know that the people-powered movement Cori is growing threatens
their white supremacist agenda.

We’re determined to show everyone that we will not be intimidated by these
attacks. We will not back down in our mission to dismantle systemic racism
in America and pass transformative policies that lift ALL of our families
up.

But to be honest with you, fundraising has slowed down lately and we
haven’t been receiving as many grassroots donations as we usually do. It
makes us concerned especially when we see the rise of attacks being made
against Cori.

[ [link removed] ]Can you chip in $5 or anything you can to show your
support for Cori and make sure our team has the resources to continue
organizing for bold change? We’re relying on grassroots supporters like
you, John,
to help fund this work.

In solidarity,

Team Cori
