John,
On Monday, Team Cori is having our first post-election meeting to plan for
the final sessions of the 117th Congress and the start of the 118th
Congress beginning early next year. A major focus of the next few weeks is
going to be setting objectives and organizing priorities, so we need your
feedback.
Will you take our survey and share your #1 priority for the next Congress?

[ [link removed] ]Environmental Justice
The climate crisis threatens us all, and will disproportionately impact
our nation’s most vulnerable populations. Cori introduced the Green New
Deal for Cities to fund an expansive array of community-based climate and
environmental justice jobs and projects — including wind power
procurement, clean water infrastructure, and air quality monitoring — by
giving funding directly to city, state, local, Indigenous, and territorial
governments.
[ [link removed] ]Economic Justice
Regular, everyday people are being left behind by a system which priotizes
the whims of the rich over the basic, human needs of our community.
Whether it’s wage stagnation, inflation, or the exploitation of people at
the pump — Cori’s taking action. She’s been fighting for at least a $15
minimum wage since well before she stepped foot in the People’s House. Now
that she’s in Congress, she’s voted to increase the minimum wage and for
the PRO Act to protect workers' rights to unionize.
[ [link removed] ]Housing for All
Cori knows what it’s like to be unhoused, living out of her car with her
two small children while working a full-time job — and she brings that
experience with her to Congress every single day. She is leading the fight
to make sure that every single person is able to have shelter and safety
by declaring that housing is a human right — and since getting elected,
she’s refused to let anyone forget it.
[ [link removed] ]Medicare for All
As a registered nurse and someone who personally knows the consequence of
being forced into immoral debt simply for seeking out and receiving needed
medical care, Cori believes that health care is a human right. No one
should be denied health care based on age, gender, ability to pay, or
health status/pre-existing condition. She is leading towards joining every
other industrialized nation in passing Medicare for All.
[ [link removed] ]Protecting the Right to Vote
Our democracy is under attack by Republican state legislatures across the
country, members of Congress, and others holding federal office, beginning
with Black, brown, Indigenous, and other marginalized communities. It’s on
us to take action to make sure that every single person has the the right
to vote and to be able to participate in our democracy.
[ [link removed] ]Reproductive Freedom
Abortion care is health care and health care is a human right. Yet, across
the nation, our reproductive freedom is under attack. In this moment of
crisis, we must take action at the state and national levels to codify
reproductive rights into law.
[ [link removed] ]Transforming Public Safety
Cori is working to keep children and our entire community safe in the face
of a gun violence epidemic that’s built on top of the pandemic of
preventable poverty. We’re funding systems of preventative care, mental
health resources, community and gun violence intervention programs, and
supporting survivors of the current system through legislation like Cori’s
Helping Families Heal Act and the People's Response Act.
All of these issues — and more — will need to be addressed by the 118th
Congress next year, and each is a key priority for Cori. We’re eager to
hear which of these pressing issues is front of mind for
you, John.
In solidarity,
Team Cori
