[1]Bowman for Congress
Hey everybody. I wanted to give you a quick update on the emergency
redistricting process that just took place. You may have heard some news
that our campaign is now under threat, and I wanted you to hear directly
from me what’s going on.
When we ran in 2020, we tripled voter turnout district-wide — but the
highest increase came from the communities of NY-16 that were overlooked,
unheard and disengaged. Right now, those communities have a voice,
political power, and are a central part of governance.
Unfortunately, the new maps created by the special master divide the most
populated, Black, brown, and working-class parts of NY-16 into three
different districts, effectively diluting their gained power.
The whole point of redistricting is to create congressional districts that
keep communities of interest together. But these unjust maps will almost
certainly drive down voter turnout and penalize progressives all
throughout New York.
If we don’t raise a lot of money very urgently to help combat voter
disenfranchisement, we could lose our seat in Congress to a conservative,
establishment candidate who does not share our values. So, I’m asking you
personally if you can make your best contribution to our campaign here:

The Democratic Party should not tolerate or condone those who cynically
try to dismantle and tear down Black power in Congress. It’s especially
disturbing coming from the leader of the DCCC — a man who should be
looking to hold as many Democratic seats in the House as possible, not
primarying his colleagues opportunistically to move into a slightly safer
blue seat.
John, our
beautifully diverse coalition is building something special — and I’m
excited to be running for re-election in my home, NY-16. But for our
campaign, this is truly a do-or-die moment, and we need to raise as much
as we can to be prepared for the fights ahead.
Again, if you can donate, the link is right here and it would be much
appreciated.

Thanks for always having my back.
Peace and love,
