John,

Ever since Cori became the first Congressperson from the movement in
defense of Black lives, she has been leading the call for the Democratic
party to finally pass meaningful police reform and reinvest in our
communities.

That’s why we were saddened to see President Biden attack our movement
during his State of the Union Speech earlier this week. 

“The answer is not to defund the police. The answer is to fund the police.
Fund them. Fund them!" — President Biden

With all due respect, Mr. President, all our country has done is given
more funding to police. And the result? 2021 set a record for fatal police
shootings.

Biden how many of us are rising up with Cori in support of protecting
Black lives? Every dollar you give helps power our organizing efforts in
Congress to defund the police and invest in our communities.

Before Cori came to Congress, she co-organized and co-led hundreds of
protests in Ferguson in defense of Black lives.

She understands firsthand the pain of police violence — what it’s like to
be brutalized just for saying your life matters — and the urgent need to
keep our community members safe. She understands that ‘defund the police’
isn’t just a slogan, but an urgent solution to the cycle of police
violence that has plagued our communities.

This is why the people of St. Louis voted for Cori and helped topple a 20
year incumbent. Our movement for racial justice is the very reason why we
were able to deliver the White House and Congress in 2020.

So when President Biden failed to address racist policing and vowed to
dramatically increase police funding instead, we took that personally.
That’s why we need your help now,
John.

Will you make a $5 donation today to fund our organizing
work in defense of Black lives?

In solidarity,

Team Cori
