John -- The establishment wants you to believe that progressives can’t get anything passed in the House because they’re “too far left.”
But Cori Bush is showing them just how wrong they are. Last week the House passed the COMPETES Act – including SIX amendments from Rep. Bush.
Take a look:
Vaccine Diplomacy: an amendment to expand testing and vaccine distribution globally (a vital move to getting this pandemic under control)
Transfer Credits from Alternative Secondary Schooling: an amendment to make investments in our HBCUs and expand opportunities for Black students
Solar Manufacturing: an amendment to help the U.S. transition to green, renewable energy
Water Pollution Study: an amendment to study the impact of fossil fuel pollution and plastic ingestion on sea life
Offshore Wind Targets: an amendment to strengthen our commitment to reducing greenhouse gas emissions
Environmental and Public Health Study on Afghanistan: an amendment to study the consequences of U.S. regulations and sanctions in Afghanistan
Each of these amendments constitutes a victory for progress and justice. And Cori is just getting started.
She’s getting the job done, but we need to send Cori more backup. We already helped elect Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick in the FL-20 special election. Sheila was sworn in to Congress exactly one month ago after BNC helped her win her primary by just FIVE votes.
Now we’re less than two weeks out from the Texas primary, and two more BNC candidates are on the ballot: Jessica Cisneros (TX-28) and Jessica Mason (TX-30). Will you chip in $25 now to help us get out the vote in Texas? [[link removed]]

These six amendments from Cori bring her total to 20 pieces of legislation passed in just 13 months in office. That’s an impressive record for most members of Congress, and it’s nearly unheard of for a freshman member.
Just imagine what we can get done by growing this caucus of unbought, unbossed, working class progressives who are committed to justice for our communities and the world.
We can do it, John, but we can’t slow down. Brand New Congress has candidates on the ballot from now until November, and they’re each counting on our support.
Will you pitch in today to help us turn out the vote in Texas and scale up for the next primaries? [[link removed]]
In solidarity,
Brand New Congress

Since 2016 BNC has led the way in advancing popular policies like Medicare for All and the Green New Deal. We invest EARLY to help grassroots candidates succeed. We recruited and elected AOC in 2018 and Cori Bush in 2020 alongside Jamaal Bowman and Rashida Tliab. And we have our first win of 2022: Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick won her primary by FIVE votes thanks to BNC.
We have elections from now until November, and our candidates are counting on your support. Pitch in today and join us as we take over Congress and return power to the people.
