John, I am so proud to work for Cori.
Last week, while most members of Congress were preparing for the holiday recess, Cori was still working with her legislative team to address the needs of her constituents.
Every year, millions of teachers and families around the country struggle to afford basic school supplies. That's why Cori along with Representatives Jamaal Bowman and Jahana Hayes introduced the Access to School Supplies Act of 2022.
The bill would provide free school supplies to students and teachers in high-poverty schools through a $500 million federal pilot program with an aim to maintain stable learning environments and improve student achievement.
No student should be forced to come to school without the needed supplies and no teacher should be left spending hundreds of dollars out of their own salaries to supply their classrooms. With this legislation, we can change this status quo.
John, will you join Cori and add your name to our petition today calling on the House of Representatives to pass the Access to School Supplies Act now? It's time to step up and demand change.

On average, families spend more than $860 and teachers spend around $750 each year to buy school supplies. Cori knows this struggle firsthand. As a single parent of two, Cori remembers the financial strain and stress that came with back-to-school shopping each fall.
Now, Cori's working to ensure no other parent, student, teacher, librarian, or educator goes through that same experience.
We have the opportunity to pass legislation that will change the lives of millions of people, but with Republicans set to control the House of Representatives starting January 3, we must work together to pass this legislation NOW. Meeting the needs of our nation’s students should not be a partisan issue, but a practical one.
Please, join Cori in calling for Congress to pass the Access to School Supplies Act by adding your name to our petition today. By joining together, we will ensure our voices cannot be overlooked.
