Hi John,

In a moment, I'm going to explain why it's so critical we reach our
end-of-month fundraising deadline tonight so we can continue pushing for
the change we need to protect Black lives. [ [link removed] ]We've set a goal to raise
$30,000 before midnight and right now we're 18% short — so we're relying
on donations from emails like this one to reach our goal.

First, I want to make something clear: We're not slowing down.

Our movement for bold, progressive policies to address racial, economic,
and environmental justice helped deliver the White House and Congress for
Democrats. And no matter what establishment politicians or conservative
Democrats like to say — we know that voters gave us a mandate to save
lives and livelihoods.

That means a mandate to end police brutality and meaningfully address the
disproportionate harm and violence Black and brown communities face as a
result of entrenched white supremacy — not in twenty or thirty years, but
NOW.

For decades, the status quo has told us to wait. But
John, as the first Black woman elected to
represent Missouri in Congress, as the first activist from the movement in
defense of Black lives elected to Congress, as an organizer, a pastor, a
nurse, and a mom, I know we cannot wait any longer.

Defunding the police isn't just a slogan or an ideal: It's a real solution
to transform public safety, and I refuse to let the establishment write
off our movement.

Our communities have the answers to the crises we're facing, they just
need their government to have the courage to legislate with conviction to
transform politics. From the streets of Ferguson to the halls of Congress,
I've worked to move our country closer to true democracy and justice, but
our work is far from over.

With far-right attacks, multiple opponents in our race for re-election,
and our primary election only months away, the challenges we face are
immense. But I know that when we work together, we have the power to move
mountains.



[ [link removed] ]That's why I must ask for your support again before tonight's critical
deadline. If it makes sense for you, please chip in $5 or
more so we can continue growing our grassroots movement and pass the
progressive legislation our communities need.

Thank you for all of your support.

Your Congresswoman loves you,
Cori
