[1]Cori Bush

John, on Tuesday,
Cori Bush officially secured the Democratic nomination for Missouri's 1st
Congressional district with a resounding victory.

We were overwhelmed to see that over 65,000 St. Louisans voted for Cori
and our mandate for bold, progressive change. It fills our hearts to see
how energized this people-powered movement is to keep Cori in Congress.

You see, when Cori first ran for Congress, the powers that be wrote us
off. The wealthy and powerful didn’t think that someone like Cori could be
elected to office. Because you don’t meet that many members of Congress
who’ve been evicted, lived in their car, or even lived paycheck to
paycheck.

But that’s exactly why it was so important for us to send Cori to
Congress. Because it’s everyday people that should be driving our politics
and pushing for the solutions that matter most to folks like
you, John.

People power is the reason why we were able to defeat a 20-year incumbent
and make Cori the first Black woman to represent Missouri in Congress and
the first activist from the movement in defense of Black lives to be
elected to federal office. And people power is how we’re going to make
sure Cori is re-elected on November 8.

That’s why today we’re reaching out to ask you to personally endorse Cori
ahead of the general election. [ [link removed] ]By adding your name, you’re sending a
loud and powerful message that there’s a grassroots movement rising up to
help keep Cori in Congress and center everyday people in our politics.

Together we’ve made so much progress already in Cori’s first term in
office. But our work isn't finished yet. 

People are still going to bed hungry. Folks in St. Louis are still being
evicted in the midst of an ever-changing pandemic. And the climate crisis
threatens us all. We need to pass critical legislation including Medicare
for All, the Green New Deal for Cities, and the People's Response Act —
families and future generations are counting on us.

Right-wing forces already started coming out against Cori in the
Democratic primary, so we know that they are not going to let up anytime
soon. They are witnessing the transformative power of the people and the
power of radical love, and they’re going to do everything in their power
to stop it. It’s going to take a lot of resources to take on the far-right
movement, but we believe in us. Let’s show them we’re ready to rise up
with Cori in this work:

personal endorsement for Cori. Your signature shows your support for
passing universal health care, ending the cycle of police violence in our
communities, and lifting up working families in our country.

Thank you for all of your support. 

Team Cori
