John, today, Sunrise Movement is proud to announce our next endorsement…
Kina Collins for IL-07!
Kina Collins is a young, progressive organizer running against the 25-year incumbent Danny Davis.
IL-07 deserves a tried and true organizer to represent them in Congress, someone who knows what it's like to come from a working-class family, who fundamentally knows the hurt and harm of a broken status quo, and who’s faced the same struggles that they have. That’s Kina Collins.
We are so proud to endorse Kina Collins who has had our backs in the streets and will have our backs in Congress. Will you split a donation between Sunrise and Kina’s campaign so we can replace Danny Davis with the leader IL-07 deserves?
Kina began organizing in the wake of Laquan McDonald’s murder in 2014.
From leading in the fight for racial justice, fighting for gun violence prevention and Medicare for All, to standing in solidarity with Sunrise Movement hunger strikers in 2021, Kina has stood with the people. She understands it’s going to take the power of movements to transform our neighborhoods.
Her district, which lives with immense inequality, deserves a congressional leader who’s lived in the poorest area of their district, shares their needs, and will fight for them in Congress.
Meanwhile, her opponent — Rep. Danny Davis — has failed to show up for his community, cozying up with the establishment status quo. While he rakes in corporate PAC money from Amazon, Kina is out protesting with Amazon workers.
John, we have a choice. Corporations or people. Will you split a contribution between Sunrise and Kina Collins’ campaign today so we can build the movement we need to elect this Green New Deal Champion?
In solidarity,
Varshini, Sunrise
