[1]Cori Bush
Hi John, it's
Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley.
Today, I'm writing to you to talk about my good friend and
sister-in-service, Rep. Cori Bush. Over the weekend, I was honored to join
Cori in St. Louis to celebrate her birthday and help get out the vote
ahead of her primary election!
Cori's primary is only 7 days away — and she needs our support because she
is up against four corporate-backed challengers.
I told Cori that the A-Team and I would help her hit her $200,000
grassroots fundraising goal before Election Day, to ensure her campaign
has the resources to organize across the district, keep their ads on the
airwaves, and win on Election Day. Grassroots supporters are already
stepping up, but Cori needs all of our support to hit this ambitious goal.
[ [link removed] ]John, I'm personally asking:
Will you please donate any amount you can today to support Cori's
re-election campaign before August 2?
Cori and I have a lot in common. We both defeated entrenched,
establishment Democrats to win our seats in Congress. We both know what
it's like being a Black woman in Congress, pushing back against the forces
of white supremacy and systems that perpetuate racial, social, and
economic injustice. And we are both working to advance bold, progressive
change that meets this moment. Cori is an inspiration to so many, and I
couldn't be more proud to work alongside her in Congress.
Cori is exactly the kind of leader we need in Congress. As a nurse,
activist, pastor, and single mom of two kids, she is deeply connected to
her community. And after the murder of Michael Brown Jr. in 2014 just
minutes from where she lived, Cori stepped up to serve her neighbors as a
medic and clergy on the front lines of the movement — protesting in
defense of Black lives for 400 days.
We cannot afford to lose a single progressive voice in the U.S. House. But
Cori's establishment opponents are on TV attacking her, and corporate PACs
are working to defeat our movement. We need to have Cori's back.
I need your help today to collect the resources Cori needs to fight back
against these attacks and win her primary. [ [link removed] ]Will you chip in
$5 today to keep Cori in Congress and help reach her team's
$200,000 goal by Election Day?
[ [link removed] ]Chip in $5
In Congress, Cori and I have worked together to end qualified immunity,
abolish the death penalty, and save and support Black lives. We've
traveled to Minnesota to protest the Line 3 pipeline with our sister Rep.
Ilhan Omar, and slept outside the Capitol to demand an extension on the
Federal eviction moratorium and keep people housed.
Conservative Democrats and Republicans will try to stop us, but we won't
stop pushing for progress. Cori won't stop pushing.
John, Cori needs all of our
support to win this race. [ [link removed] ]Will you contribute $5 or
more to re-elect Cori today?
Thank you,
Rep. Ayanna Pressley
