John,

Cori's not a career politician. In fact, she’s just the opposite. Cori got
her start as an activist, nurse, and mother who rose to the task following
the murder of Michael Brown Jr. just 10 minutes away from her home.

She brings her identity as a community organizer, activist, nurse, and
mother to Congress every single day, and it’s what makes her an effective
and much-needed leader – especially in a room that’s traditionally
excluded voices like Cori’s.

In 2020, Cori made history when (thanks to the power of this grassroots
movement), she defeated a 20-year incumbent and became the first activist
from the movement in defense of Black lives elected to federal office and
the first Black woman to represent the state of Missouri in Congress.

Now, it’s up to us to ensure that we keep Cori in Congress. There, she
will continue to bring the voices of marginalized communities who are too
often left out of the conversation to the forefront and fight for bold,
progressive change through legislation like the Green New Deal for Cities
and the People’s Response Act. So, we're asking:

We set a goal to raise $15,000 by tonight's midnight deadline, and right
now we're tracking behind. [ [link removed] ]Please, if you're able, can you chip in
$5 before midnight to make sure we re-elect Cori this
November and keep her in Congress fighting for all of us?

As a politician and activist, Cori isn't willing to sit on the sidelines
while our country is hit with extreme floods, fires, and heatwaves, or
while children go hungry, and people struggle to make ends meet.

Instead, she uses her power as a member of Congress to organize for direct
change. It's why she led five days of direct action outside of the Capitol
last summer, organizing both Congress and the White House for an extension
of the eviction moratorium, and it's why she was arrested outside of the
Supreme Court this summer protesting for reproductive rights.

But this is only possible if we have grassroots folks like you stepping up
with $5 and $15 donations when they can.

It's critical we keep our fundraising strong so Cori has the resources to
win her re-election in November and start her second term in Congress.

goal before midnight?

Together,

Team Cori
