What’s up next for the Cori Bush 2020 Campaign?
Hey, Cori Bush team! We're starting November off on a roll, thanks to your help! Let's keep up the hard work as we head into the holiday season.
Do you have some time to help the campaign this week? Check out our upcoming events and ongoing needs:
Save the Date:
Wednesday, November 20th
Prison Reform Town Hall - 6-8:30pm: In Missouri alone there are 52,000 people behind bars. We need prison reform now. Join us for a conversation to discuss these statistics, hear from those who are formerly incarcerated and learn their truth, and join Cori Bush, Former State Representative Bruce Franks and local activists and leaders in the prison reform movement to discuss solutions. Light refreshments will be provided. Sign up here.
Campaign Roles:
Volunteer Coordinator - We are looking for a motivated volunteer to help manage volunteer involvement. The volunteer coordinator will work closely with the events team to inform volunteers of upcoming opportunities and to ensure each event is adequately staffed with passionate representatives of the Cori Bush Campaign. If you are interested please contact [email protected].
Town Hall/Listening Tour Committee - We are looking for five volunteers to assemble a Town Hall/Listening Tour Committee. This committee will work with the events team to nail down the dates, topics, and venues for monthly Town Hall/Listening Tour community meetings. If you are interested, please contact [email protected].
