our movement marches on.

John,  I am writing to you today with a heavy heart. On Tuesday, AIPAC megadonors succeeded in buying this seat.  The same forces who targeted Jamaal Bowman for his unwavering commitment to human rights poured $15 million into my opponent’s campaign. It’s obvious that right-wing megadonors fear unbo…

My primary is today!

John,  The day we have all worked so hard for is here: the Missouri Primary!  Since I first ran for Congress in 2018, I’ve known I would face hardships. I knew it would be tough, and I’d be up against some fierce opponents who don’t like to see Black women win.  That has all proven to be true.   I a…

How you can support Cori this Monday

John,   Congresswoman Cori Bush’s primary election is on August 6, and with GOP megadonors pouring over $20 million into her race, we need to fight TWICE as hard to elevate our progressive movement and get out Cori’s message — St. Louis is NOT for sale.  We can’t let right-wing billionaires unseat y…

"Wesley Bell is now the No. 1 recipient of AIPAC cash"

John,   We only have a few days left until Cori’s primary, and the GOP megadonors trying to buy her seat are moving full steam ahead…  Right-wing billionaires sought out her opponent, Wesley Bell, to use him as a Trojan horse to advance their extremist agenda, and he eagerly complied. Now, Bell is t…

“Is Bell an opportunist who shifted his political parties to appease Bush’s wealthy enemies?” The answer is a resounding “yes”.  Our opponent is more interested in pleasing his wealthy donors than standing up for the people of St. Louis.
