We want to give you a transparent update.
John, this grassroots team means everything to Cori. So, with our end-of-quarter fundraising deadline coming up quickly, we want to give you a transparent update.
This is our first FEC filing deadline of the election year, and it's absolutely crucial we report impressive fundraising numbers that reflect the strength of this people-powered movement. That's why today we're officially launching a goal to raise $75,000 in online donations by midnight on Thursday, March 31.
With just six days until our deadline, can you chip in $5 to help meet our goal in time to make sure Cori has the funds to continue organizing and legislating for bold, anti-racist, progressive change in Congress?
What we're able to raise right now, in the days leading up to this critical deadline, will have an outsized impact on the future of this race, so we can't take this lightly. Let us explain:
Challengers for Cori's seat are watching to assess our fundraising strength. Already, three Republicans and four Democrats have announced campaigns against Cori, and they're going to be looking at our fundraising records to see how potentially vulnerable this seat is.
GOP and establishment super PACs are watching to see how much support is behind our progressive movement. Missing our goal could mean being faced with an onslaught of attacks from groups that would like to see Cori defeated.
The media is watching to see whether we can keep up this grassroots momentum. Cori has inspired so many people across the country by fearlessly taking on big fights in Congress, and the media is ready to pounce on any signs of disarray.
This won't be easy, John. We're going to have to hustle for the next six days to make sure we can hit this $75,000 end-of-quarter goal. But if we come together right now, we will re-elect Cori to make sure she continues her tenure as the first Black Congresswoman to represent Missouri in federal office.
Please, will you donate $5 or anything you can to help us reach our goal and keep Cori in Congress? Every dollar you give powers Cori’s work in Congress to lift up regular, everyday people, protect Black lives and livelihoods, and transform politics.

Together,
Team Cori
