Hi team,
We just wanted to make sure you saw Terri’s email from Wednesday.
She shared her thoughts on the history of the Black Belt and what it means to her to represent this district as a native Selmian. Her message was informative and heartfelt, and we didn’t want you to miss it.
Terri also announced our campaign’s $15,000 end-of-month fundraising goal — and so far, we still have $12,703 left to raise. With your help, we can close the gap and set Terri’s campaign up for success in March. Can we count on you to pitch in and then read Terri’s message below?

Subject: I’m a proud product of Alabama’s Black Belt, and I’m even prouder to represent this region in Congress. Will you chip in to my end-of-month goal and then read about the history of my district?

Folks, for generations, my family has lived in Selma, Alabama – right in the heart of the Black Belt. Throughout my life, I’ve witnessed the beauty, hardships, and the history of this region firsthand.
The Black Belt has a history as rich as the soil it’s named after, and I want to tell you all about it. But first, will you take a moment to support my campaign by chipping in to my end-of-month fundraising goal?

The history of the Black Belt runs deep, and this region has been at the center of so many moments in Black History.
My grandfather was a hard-working sharecropper who, like many other Black Alabamians at the time, labored in the rich soil to provide a better life for his family.
In the 1960s, the Black Belt was fertile ground for the Foot Soldiers of the Civil Rights Movement to pave the way towards a just future. The steps they took over the Edmund Pettus Bridge cleared the path for the freedoms we have today.
Now, I honor those that came before me as the first Black woman to represent this district and one of the first women to ever represent Alabama in federal office.
Every day I work hard in Congress for the people of Alabama’s Black Belt. I will never let up in my efforts to expand access to health care, create a more equitable public education system, ensure every citizen has access to the voting booth, and give every worker an opportunity to earn a living wage.
I’m a proud product of Alabama’s Black Belt, and I’m grateful to represent this great state in Congress. I’m going to keep raising my voice for the hardworking families across my district to ensure the history and the legacy of this land lives on.
In just 5 days, my campaign is facing its February fundraising deadline, and I’ve set a goal of raising $15,000 before Monday at 11:59 pm. Can I count on you to chip in $15, or anything you can, so that our team has all the resources we need to keep working for the people of Alabama? →
