Trigger Warning: White Supremacist Violence
John,
Ever since Cori was elected to Congress, white supremacists have been furious at our movement to save Black lives and have made countless violent threats on Cori's life.
Today, Fox News advocated for Cori to face violence on live TV. Here are just a few quotes from the segment:
"The harsh truth is we need these lawmakers to be victims."
"I'm not praying that any of these people get hurt or harmed, BUT..."
"We would never wish any harm whatsoever on any American, let alone a politician we disagreed with. BUT..."
John, we know that this is hard to read, but this is just one example of the threats Cori faces every day. Since Cori's first day in office the GOP, Fox News, and right-wing media groups have made Cori a top target of their false, racist attacks.
Just know: They won't stop us. They can't. But this attack has made it even more clear to us that as we make progress in our work to deliver justice and freedom for all — white supremacists plan on fighting harder than ever to slow down our movement. Cori needs our support to overcome this attack:
Will you donate $5 or more to help power Cori's work in Congress to save Black lives, transform our system of public safety, and dismantle systemic racism in our country? Your donation sends a loud message to white supremacists that this movement isn't slowing down.
Chip in $5
This isn't the first time Fox News has openly broadcasted hateful, racist speech on live TV. Last year, Tucker Carlson viciously attacked Cori stating "Missouri Congresswoman Cori Bush...could never have a job in the real world because she's not smart enough for a real job."
John, it's dangerous to ignore this pattern. Fox News profits off of misinformation, conspiracy theories, fear-mongering, and racism, so they will continue to sell — and spread — this hateful speech far and wide, inciting others to make threats on Cori's life.
Cori's not backing down from her work, and we're determined to show everyone that we will not be intimidated by these attacks. We will not slow down in our mission to dismantle systemic racism in America and pass transformative policies that lift ALL of our communities up. But we're up against the far-right and Fox News, so Cori needs this people-powered movement to have her back.
Please, can you chip in $5 or anything you can to show your support for Cori? We're relying on grassroots supporters like you, John, to help keep Cori in Congress organizing and legislating in defense of Black lives and livelihoods.
In solidarity,
Team Cori
