John, Cori is working every day to serve St. Louis and make real change for our community.
On Wednesday, the House passed a spending bill to fund the government — and it included all 10 of Cori's Community Project Initiatives, sending $9 million in federal funding directly to organizations doing work for the people of St. Louis.
This funding is yet another victory for St. Louis and brings us closer to a more just and equitable St. Louis for all. John, will you chip in $5 or more today to keep Cori in Congress legislating and organizing for progressive change?
After months of negotiations, these were the projects funded:
✅ Affinia Healthcare: Funds will go to building a new community health center in Ferguson to offer a wide range of primary care services in highly-underserved areas of St. Louis.
✅ BJC Healthcare — Hospital to Housing: The Hospital to Housing initiative provides housing to unhoused patients who frequently seek shelter in hospital emergency departments.
✅ CareSTL Health, The Ville Wellness Campus: Funds will go to a health center to provide much-needed services to remediate unhealthy lifestyles contributing to chronic levels of hypertension, diabetes, mental illness, and addiction.
✅ The Minority Entrepreneurship Collaborative Center for Advancement (MECCA) at Harris-Stowe State University: Funds will go to fostering the growth of emerging entrepreneurs and cultivating the next generation of business owners from underserved communities.
✅ St. Louis University Mobile Health Clinic: Funds will go to establishing and supporting a mobile health clinic run by Saint Louis University.
✅ The Healthcare-based Crime Intervention Clinic: Funds will go to providing a holistic and public health coordinated approach to public safety outcomes in the City of St. Louis.
✅ Mildred's Casa de Paz — PotBangerz, Feed the Body Mission: Mildred’s Casa de Paz is designed to provide transitional housing for women who are unhoused.
✅ Gun Violence Response Network with Mental Health Access: The Gun Violence Response Network is a network of service providers with multiple entry points, a coordinated intake, and wraparound services for victims of violence.
✅ Harmony Village — St. Patrick Center: Funds will go to providing affordable housing in tandem with onsite support services to community members in the most need.
✅ Wellston Loop Mixed Use Development Project — Easton Development Corporation/Young Voices With Action: Funds will go to a first of its kind development in the heart of the St. Louis region to create a stronger, more cohesive neighborhood.
And Cori's work is just getting started — Cori’s legislation, including her resolution to expel GOP insurrectionists from Congress, the Green New Deal for Cities, the People's Response Act, and more are still waiting for a vote in the House.
With Cori's primary quickly approaching, opponents are preparing potential runs against Cori and GOP super PACs are readying to spend millions in an attempt to defeat us. We need to step up to keep Cori in Congress.
John, Cori needs this grassroots team to have her back so she can work to save lives and transform livelihoods. Please, will you make a $5 donation right now to help re-elect Cori so she can continue boldly leading legislation to make real change for those who need it most?
Together,
Team Cori
