Hi, it's Cori.
I'm personally writing to you today because we have exactly 6 days until Missouri's August primary election, and I'm up against a well-funded, corporate-backed challenge.
This race has become a litmus test for the strength of our movement for Medicare for All, a Green New Deal, and the anti-racist agenda our communities need — and special interests and far-right groups are spending huge amounts of money to support my opponents.
I'm proud to have Alex's support in my race, but it's going to take a widespread, grassroots effort to keep our movement in Congress.
That's why I have to ask: Will you consider making a donation to fund my people-powered campaign for transformative change today?
Alex and I have had each other's backs from the very beginning.
Justice Democrats first recruited us both to run for public office back in 2017. We met in Kentucky, quickly finding solidarity as sisters in struggle fighting for our communities. Just a few months later, Alex shocked the country, defeating the establishment and opening the door for everyday people in Congress.
A few weeks later, we were talking about how she could help my campaign. Alex was planning to come to the district when I was t-boned and hit by a car. I was struggling to walk, but Alex still came to the district to help me knock doors — literally putting her arm around me to help me go from door-to-door. Her support meant the world to me. 💜
Two years later we were in Congress together. And, I’ll never forget when we heard that Congress was adjourning and going on vacation after failing to extend the housing eviction moratorium. It was just the two of us standing out there and we knew we had to do something – so I asked her what do you think about staying out on the steps and not going home? Together, we led an action for five days and pressured the Biden administration to take action.
I’m so proud to call Alex my sister-in-service. We both share common struggles that inspire our work in Congress and together we’re determined to deliver transformative change to our communities.
But first, we need to make sure Alex and I can continue fighting in Congress. My corporate-backed opponent has the support of establishment groups looking to replace our movement for transformative change with a candidate who promises to uphold the status quo — along with the resources of GOP super PACs. We need to ensure we have the resources to fight back against their attacks in these final days and get our people-first message out.
Thank you for all of your support.
Cori
