Super PACs are spending record amounts to weaken our progressive movement.
John,
I'm writing to you today to talk about something serious. Establishment billionaires and right-wing super PACs are spending record amounts to weaken our progressive movement.
Here’s the problem: In upcoming midterm elections, super PACs are spending over $10 million to defeat progressive women of color running for Congress.
In Pennsylvania, Cori endorsed Summer Lee, an organizer, progressive fighter, and state legislator for Congress. Summer's primary is today, and super PACs have spent nearly $3 million in disgusting attack ads full of racist and sexist misinformation.
What we’re expecting: A new Democratic super PAC was just announced, named the "Mainstream Democrats PAC" with the explicit purpose of defeating progressive candidates.
And in Missouri, a mystery group called "Progressives for Missouri" has already sent mailers attacking Cori to homes across St. Louis. The truth? This mailer is coming from corporate Democrats — not our progressive movement.
If we're going to keep Cori in Congress fighting for Medicare for All, the Green New Deal, and the People's Response Act, we need your help. Please donate right now to support our organizing work, voter outreach effects, and digital ads so we can re-elect Cori to Congress.
Chip in $5
The harsh reality is that this is just the beginning. The GOP and far-right groups have already made it clear that they're terrified of Cori's bold, progressive agenda, and they're prepared to spend record amounts of money to attack Cori during the midterm elections.
Last cycle, shady corporate donors and super PACs spent tens of millions of dollars trying to defeat progressive members including Representatives Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ilhan Omar, and Rashida Tlaib.
With less than three months until our August election, we need to prepare for these attacks to ramp up. But we're preparing to go up against virtually unlimited funds from super PACs, so we need everyone's support.
Please, will you chip in right now to help us fight back against attacks and prepare to go toe-to-toe with establishment super PACs? Even giving $5 makes a big difference to help us prepare for a heated primary election this August.
In solidarity,
Morgan
Political Director, Team Cori
