Cori brings the power of each of these roles every time she shows up to the Capitol to work for St. Louis and communities like it.
John,
It's no secret that Cori isn't a typical member of Congress. More than half of Congress are millionaires and an overwhelming majority is white.
Cori has been unhoused and relied on food stamps. She doesn't have huge generational wealth. She's worked low-wage jobs. But it is precisely because of Cori's lived experience that she is the first Black woman to represent Missouri in Congress.
It is because of Cori's identity as a nurse that she believes health care is a right and is a proud co-sponsor of Medicare for All.
It is because of Cori's identity as a mom that she believes every child should have access to a good school and climate change should not limit their future.
It is because of Cori's identity as an activist that she works to save lives and for a future free of white supremacy and police violence.
Cori brings the power of each of these roles every time she shows up to the Capitol to work for St. Louis and communities like it.
Cori is ready to keep working for policies that lift ALL of us up, but she can't do this alone. Cori needs your support as we organize and legislate in Congress for an agenda that puts people first. John, will you contribute $5, or whatever is meaningful to you, to help keep the first activist from the movement in defense of Black lives in Congress?
Chip in $5
Cori wasn't elected to Congress to sit on the sidelines. She was elected to Congress to speak up for working families and cause good trouble.
The activist in Cori remembers what it was like to be in positions where she felt overlooked, neglected, and unheard. That's why she is committed to organizing and legislating every day to make our country a better, more just place.
The challenges we face are immense. But when we work together, we have the power to move mountains.
If you're with Cori in this movement, will you chip in $5 or anything you can so we can continue growing our progressive movement and pass the change our communities need?
In solidarity,
Team Cori
