We rely 100% on grassroots donations.
John, we'll get right to the point:
Since winning the primary election last week, our online fundraising has slowed dramatically. A small slowdown is natural after a busy period like an election, but we're starting to get nervous that our numbers won't pick up in time to meet our mid-month fundraising projections.
Here's a screenshot directly from our ActBlue:
With 90 days until Election Day, we really can't slow down now. That's why we're hoping we can count on this grassroots movement to step up and help us make up the difference over the next few days.
John, we're asking: Will you chip in $5 or more now to help us close the gap and prepare for the general election? It's really important we receive enough contributions to stay on track with our projections and ensure we have the resources to keep Cori in Congress.

We believe our movement should be grounded in people — not special interests. It's why Cori doesn't accept a cent from corporate PACs, and it's how she's able to fight for people-first solutions in Congress like Medicare for All, a Green New Deal, and student debt cancellation.
But that means we rely 100% on grassroots donations of $5, $10, or $15 to power our movement to re-elect the first activist from the movement in defense of Black lives elected to federal office.
What we're able to raise right now, in the months leading up to November 8, will have an outsized impact on the future of this race, so we can't take this lightly.
Please, if you can, add your first donation of the general election today to help power our campaign to re-elect Cori Bush.
Thank you,
Team Cori
