John, we have one
very important ask for you today:

[ [link removed] ]Will you chip in $5 or more today to re-elect the first
activist from the movement in defense of Black lives elected to Congress?
We're racing to hit $75,000 before Thursday's end-of-quarter fundraising
deadline and every dollar will go toward keeping Cori in Congress.

To be candid, re-electing Cori is about more than symbolism. It's about
keeping a true advocate for transforming our criminal-legal system in
Congress.

Not many members of Congress will say without pause that we need to defund
the police. But Cori will, because she knows we must divest from police
departments that don't keep us safe and invest instead in our communities.

And not many members of Congress are doing the work day-in and day-out to
transform our system of public safety and save lives, but Cori is. Cori
introduced the People's Response Act to dismantle our instinct to
criminalize and has been leading the call to finally pass meaningful
policies to end police brutality.

This is because not many other members of Congress have experienced the
pain of police violence firsthand like Cori has or been brutalized just
for saying your life matters. When Michael Brown Jr. was killed by the
police in 2014, Cori took to the streets to co-organize and co-lead
protests in Ferguson for 400 days, facing rubber bullets, real bullets,
tear gas, and more.

John, plenty
of people want to see us fail — our opponents, the GOP, even some members
of the Democratic establishment. But making progress on saving Black lives
includes keeping Cori in office, so we will do everything in our power to
ensure Cori's re-election.

Together, we made history and elected the first Black woman to represent
Missouri in Congress in 2020 — but we have to continue working every
single day to protect Black lives. We won't stop until we get justice.



[ [link removed] ]It's urgent we show a wave of grassroots support for our movement:
Please, will you chip in $5 or more now toward our $75,000
end-of-quarter goal to fund our organizing to re-elect Cori and power our
movement to save Black lives and livelihoods?

[ [link removed] ]Chip in $5



In solidarity,

Team Cori
