Why this goal is so critical

Now with just a couple hours left until midnight, we are so close to hitting our $25,000 goal. Hey John, we saw a surge in grassroots support this week. We have been emailing you about our critical upcoming $25,000 End of Year goal and so many of you have stepped up to help grow this movement…

Can you help Cori be ready to hit the ground running?

We just ran the numbers and we are less than $15,000 away from our goal. While that might seem like a lot to raise in 2 days here’s the thing: we’ve done it before and we can do it again. Hey John, Aarica here with an important financial update from Team Cori. We just ran the numbers and we …

Our entire progressive agenda is on the line

To overcome all of that opposition we’ll need to build a strong, vocal, nationwide movement of passionate people willing to contact their representatives and push them to embrace our people-first agenda. John, we’re asking for your help. We need to raise $25,000 by midnight on the 31st, but …

Take action: Congress will vote on $2,000 survival checks

Time is running out, so please join Cori and add your name in support of $2,000 survival checks right now. John, we need $2,000 survival checks. And this is our chance to get them. Congress is scheduled to consider a bill today that would give regular, everyday people $2,000 survival checks.…

I am taking our outrage to Congress, John

People are struggling and need help. But, right now, our Congress is failing us. So, when I get sworn in in less than two weeks, I’m going to fight as hard as I can to get everyday people the relief we need. John, $600 is not enough. We need at least $2,000 survival checks monthly for COVID r…

Regular, everyday people need more than $600

For so many people, the difference between $1,200 and $600 is massive. Cori has been unhoused. She has lived paycheck-to-paycheck. She knows that $600 is the difference between having a motel room or sleeping in your car. John, regular, everyday people need real relief right now. As Congress…

BREAKING: Our movement is headed to the House Judiciary Committee

I ran for office on the promise of justice. Justice for Black lives. Justice for folks like Michael Brown Jr. and Breonna Taylor. Justice for every community held back by racist systems and oppression. Content warning: This email discusses sexual abuse and domestic violence. John, …

Help me elect more progressive, everyday people to represent all of us

There are just huge barriers to entry into politics, which is why I’m so glad Justice Democrats exists to help candidates like me launch our campaigns. John, when I first ran for Congress, Justice Democrats helped get my campaign off the ground. I am a Congressperson-elect today in large par…

It's happening: Nina Turner for Congress!

Our chance to end the death penalty and save 52 lives

The death penalty isn't about justice. It never has been. It's all about power — specifically, who has it and who does not. John, as you read this, 52 people are awaiting execution on federal death row. That means 52 human beings are being legally tortured by our federal government and a brok…

This is not justice

Last night, Brandon Bernard was executed in Terre Haute, Indiana for a crime he committed over 20 years ago and was the youngest person to ever receive a death sentence. John, let’s call it what it is: state-sanctioned murder.  Last night, Brandon Bernard was executed by the United States Go…

More than just a “snappy” slogan

Defunding the police is more than just a slogan, it is a call to action as we see police officers killing members of our community. John, this week President Barack Obama said political candidates lose support when using “snappy” slogans like “defund the police.” With all due respect Mr. Pre…

Without wins in Georgia, Mitch McConnell retains control of the Senate

As it stands, the next Congress will have 48 Democratic Senators and 50 Republican Senators. That leaves control of the upper chamber in the hands of Mitch McConnell – who has dedicated his career towards destroying progressive and liberal policy alike. John, even though we defeated Donald T…

The Proud Boys and Cori’s opponent

The first activist-fighter for Black lives in Congress

Cori started fighting for change because things weren’t right. As a mother working for a daycare, she realized that her wage wasn’t even enough to send her own kids to the daycare she worked at. That doesn’t sound right. John, the folks who make history rarely set up with that goal in mind.…
