John,

We want to be candid for a moment about one of the downsides to elected
office: As a member of the House of Representatives, Cori must run for
re-election every two years.

As a freshman Member of Congress, Cori will be up for re-election for the
first time next November, and we're not taking anything for granted. Our
race was decided by just three points in 2020, so we have to be prepared
for every possible scenario this cycle.

Folks are all but guaranteed to come out of the woodwork to try and take
this seat, whether that be far-right Republicans or less-than-progressive
primary challengers who want to return to the status quo. Last cycle,
Republicans — and some Democrats — spent tens of millions of dollars
trying to defeat progressive leaders including Representatives Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez, Ilhan Omar, and Rashida Tlaib.

We already know the far-right will spend countless sums to baselessly
attack Cori, so we're counting on this grassroots team to help lead Cori
to re-election. Our future opponents may have dark money megadonors and
corporate PACs — but we have *this* people-powered movement.



John, as a
valued member of this team we have to ask: [ [link removed] ]Can you chip in
$5 or more to reach our $30,000 goal before Tuesday's
end-of-month deadline and make sure Cori has the resources to continue
organizing and legislating for bold, anti-racist, progressive change in
Congress?

To be honest, Cori's re-election is about more than just Missouri's First
District — it's about who holds power in Congress. Democrats currently
have the slimmest House majority in modern history and conventional wisdom
holds that the midterms will be challenging for the president's party.

Democrats cannot rely on the same old tactics to defend the House next
year. If we're going to stay in power, we need to elect and re-elect more
progressives to Congress.

Voters gave us a mandate in 2020 to deliver policies that center the needs
of everyday people. Now, we need to expand our progressive caucus so we
can continue our fight for environmental justice, workers' rights, and
criminal-legal system transformation.

[ [link removed] ]Please John, our
end-of-month deadline is quickly coming up, and we need to hit our $30,000
fundraising goal to keep the first activist from the movement in defense
of Black lives in Congress. Will you chip in $5 or whatever
is meaningful to you? Any amount helps.

In solidarity,

Team Cori
