John,

With just hours until our final end-of-month fundraising deadline before
Election Day, I’m sure you’re receiving a lot of fundraising messages from
campaigns across the country. I wanted to reach out and explain why emails
like this one are so important.

In eight days, my name will be on the general election ballot when St.
Louis goes to the polls. But well before my name was on any ballot, I made
a decision to run for office because as a Black mom, I know what it’s like
having the, “just make it home safely” talk with my children. I’ve
struggled just to get by, living paycheck-to-paycheck and I want to ensure
no one else goes without a home or food as I have done. And I want to
create a new kind of politics rooted in radical love and that works for
regular, everyday people.

To me, running a campaign that’s dedicated to the issues that impact the
daily lives of my constituents was an obvious choice — but it’s far less
common than it should be. Most members of Congress fund their re-election
campaigns year after year with checks from corporate mega-donors, leaving
them beholden to the whims of corporations.

That’s not a compromise I’m willing to make.

That means building and sustaining a movement one $5
donation at a time. [ [link removed] ]John,
if you can, will you make your
first donation of
$5 or more before our final end-of-month fundraising
deadline at midnight tonight?

I’m not going to work each day to fight for big pharma or the fossil fuel
lobby — they’ve got enough politicians selling out our communities and
working on their behalf as it is. I’m running for office because people
like you and I are being forgotten by leaders who will sell their votes on
important issues to the highest bidder at a swanky campaign event.

I'm committed to being one of the few leaders who will fight for us in
pursuit of true justice for all. We’re small in number, but we’re
mighty, John.
[ [link removed] ]If you're with me in this work, please chip in $5 or
more to power our grassroots movement for bold, progressive change.

We’ve made an impact on unjust evictions and kept people housed, delivered
over $1 billion for our St. Louis community, and introduced
first-of-its-kind legislation on mental health. Soon, Congress will face a
vote on reproductive freedom, be given opportunities to take action on the
climate crisis, and more — and I want to ensure our voices are heard in
those rooms.

Thank you for all of your support.

Your Congresswoman loves you,

Cori
