John,
Last weekend, we attended the Power Women Summit in Los Angeles, a beautiful event dedicated to achieving 50/50 representation in business, politics, film, and entertainment. More than 1,500 attendees came together over the course of two days and the love and support was tremendous.
As a featured speaker, Cori participated in a live interview hosted by actress and activist Sophia Bush for the podcast The New Face of Politics. They discussed the challenges of women of color running for office. We spoke to attendees who told us Cori’s interview was their favorite aspect of the summit and how much Cori inspires them. |

Here’s a highlight from the interview:
When it comes to political donations, Cori Bush also noted how she saw donors would frequently give male candidates thousands of dollars while female candidates would get piecemeal $25 or $50 donations. “It’s not that we can’t do the job. It’s not that we’re the less qualified because, as a matter of fact…we work a full-time job [running for office] on top of working a full-time job, go home and take care of the kids,” Cori said, referring to second-shift work that women are frequently expected to perform at home.
This campaign is revolutionary. Nationally, Cori’s voice resonates. Just imagine what she can do when she takes her seat in 2021.
As a grassroots campaign, we need your national support to help to get there.
In solidarity,
Team Cori
