John, we want to
tell you about one of the most important political decisions Cori has ever
made: Not to accept corporate PAC money.
For Cori, this was an easy decision. She is in Congress to represent real
everyday Americans — not corporations or special interests. So, she
believes our campaign should reflect that.
But that's not how all of Congress operates. Most members fund their
re-elections through special interest donations — from the pharmaceutical
industry, military contractors, even the gun lobby — and spend hours on
the phone calling up their wealthy friends.
By refusing corporate PAC donations and freeing up her schedule from call
time with megadonors, Cori is able to ensure the only people she works for
are her constituents. But that also means our campaign relies entirely on
grassroots donations of $5, $15, or whatever people can afford.
John, we wouldn't
ask if it weren't important. Our end-of-month fundraising deadline is
coming up tomorrow night at midnight and currently, we're at risk of
falling short of our $30,000 goal. [ [link removed] ]If you can afford it, will you chip

John, Cori is not a career
politician — she ran for office to bring our anti-racist, progressive
agenda to life. And together, this people-powered movement defeated a
twenty-year incumbent and elected a single mom, nurse, activist,
organizer, and pastor to be the first Black woman to represent Missouri in
Congress.
But the far-right has already started launching attacks on Cori — and our
movement. We need to be prepared for GOP megadonors and
less-than-progressive primary challengers to pour millions into St. Louis
to try and defeat us next November.
That's why we’re investing early — from reaching out to voters, recruiting
volunteers, and hiring staff — to prepare for the journey ahead. We're
more motivated than ever to keep working to bring transformative change to
all of our communities, but Cori can't do it without your help.

whatever you can before midnight tomorrow to show the strength of our
anti-racist progressive movement.
