When one tough woman stands up and fights, it can make a difference for a whole nation.

Last Saturday, the CDC’s eviction moratorium was set to expire, leaving anywhere between seven to eleven million people at risk of being forced out on the street. There was a lot of finger pointing going back and forth in Washington about who needed to take action to extend the deadline.

Then Representative Cori Bush stood up and took charge. While most members of Congress went home for the weekend, Rep. Bush slept outside the Capitol building for several days, demanding a solution to the potential eviction crisis.

Her protest drew national coverage, including support from House and Senate Democrats. I was honored to join her on the Capitol steps. And then on Monday, the CDC announced a new eviction moratorium.

Rep. Cori Bush helped protect millions of families across this country — and reminded every single person that getting in these fights is worthwhile.

Cori is up for her first re-election next November — and with the support of a grassroots movement, we can make sure she can keep fighting in 2022 and beyond. If you can, chip in $15 to split a donation between Cori’s campaign and Warren Democrats today.

The middle of the pandemic is not the moment when you want people couch surfing, doubling or tripling up with friends and family, or sleeping out on park benches. You want people in their homes. It is for their safety and for the safety of everyone.

Cori Bush has faced evictions before. She used her personal experience to say, “this is what it's like to lose your home. This is what it's like to be evicted.” And that was enough to capture the attention of a lot of people across this nation — and a lot of people in Congress and at the White House. And that's how we get change.

You know, when I first got to Congress, I used to ask myself, “does it matter that I’m here instead of somebody else?”

And Representative Bush has now answered that question for herself. It matters that we have her in Congress and not somebody else. It matters that we all stay in the fight to elect Democrats who fight from the heart for working families.

If you can, please support Cori Bush’s re-election by splitting a contribution of $15 or whatever makes sense today — and let’s keep fighting together.

Thanks for being a part of this,

Elizabeth
