Team Cori 💜

There is no place for outside spending in our campaigns My sister-in-service Cori Bush fought hard for the people of St. Louis. Her movement for the people and by the people proves that progressive values benefit the whole community. And her loss in the primary this week, though heartbreaking…

Let’s translate excitement into resources for the Harris/Walz campaign

I’m doing everything I can to advocate for our progressive values on the trail Vice President Kamala Harris announced Minnesota Governor Tim Walz as her running mate today. As a former public school teacher, Governor Tim Walz never forgets the people. He fights for every worker and family who…

We need Kamala in the White House

Split a gift with the Harris Campaign today I’ve been on the campaign trail for Vice President Kamala Harris, spending time with voters and advocates talking about why she's the best candidate to protect and restore reproductive freedom, and the person we need in the White House. I hosted a r…

If Donald still hasn’t figured out how to pronounce Kamala, perhaps Madam President will do just fine.

“I have been the best president for the Black population since Abraham Lincoln.” At first I couldn’t believe those words came out of Donald Trump’s mouth. But on second thought, it wasn’t all that surprising, because he has a long history of outlandish, offensive lies. During a panel at the …

Trump’s America vs. Our America

Please give before midnight to support our movement The stakes in this election couldn’t be clearer. In Donald Trump’s America, people in every corner of our country could be forced to carry an unwanted pregnancy to term — even one caused by rape or incest. It wouldn’t matter if you live in a…

They want to ban the word “abortion”
