There are tons of opportunities to get involved with the Cori Bush campaign this week!
Our volunteers fuel this campaign, and we are so appreciative of all your hard work. Last weekend saw more canvassers coming out to knock on doors and talk to voters than any previous weekend of the campaign! These in-person interactions with voters are so impactful, so let's keep up the hard work.
We are particularly excited about our upcoming Soul Food Cook Off, but we need your help to make it a success! There are plenty of opportunities to get involved with the event over the next two weeks, from calling volunteers and business, heading out to flyer the district, or signing up to help out on the day of the event. Check out the opportunities below, and don't forget to get your tickets and share the event with your friends and family—all are welcome! View the details and get your tickets here.
