Friend, it's Team Peters.

It's our job to make sure Sen. Peters can reach as many constituents as possible, share his message, and focus on creating life changing legislation for people in Illinois – so we spend a lot of time combing through paperwork, knocking on doors, and dealing with the campaign budget.

Unfortunately, we've got some less-than-ideal news about this month's fundraising:

Our End of Month Fundraising Deadline is TONIGHT, and we're still $550 short of reaching our goal.
But there is good news: we still have time for our grassroots coalition to show their support and help us reach it. Chip in here to help Sen. Peters start 2024 strong >> ([link removed])

Sen. Peters and our team are running a people-first campaign. He's focusing on standing up for our working families, improving our criminal justice system, and being a strong voice for our residents. That's why in 2023 he fought so hard to eliminate cash bail, enshrine reproductive rights, and champion worker's rights.

But to continue showing up for District 13 in 2024 and after, we're counting on a strong show of grassroots support. Our First End of Month Deadline of 2024 is at MIDNIGHT, Friend – will you chip in any amount to support our team before it's too late? ([link removed])

Thank you,
Team Robert Peters

============================================================
Senator Robert Peters was born in 1985 deaf and with a massive speech impediment. His biological mother was addicted to drugs and alcohol, and his adopted mother and father were a social worker and a civil rights lawyer. He saw first hand the impact and devastation of the racist war on drugs.

As he grew up, he admired the work his father did as a civil rights and criminal defense attorney, challenging wrongdoing by the police. This combined with the effect of the criminalization of addiction, inspired his work on criminal justice reform rooted in the safety, freedom, and wellness of all people.

A defining moment for Peters was the Great Recession, as he struggled to find work and lost his parents within a year and a half of each other. He found his power through political organizing in solidarity with a variety of organizations in Chicago fighting for justice.

As a state senator, Peters has championed the end of cash bail in Illinois after years of organizing around it before becoming a Senator. This legislative session alone, Peters has passed six bills out of the Senate, as he continues to push Illinois forward as a leader in criminal justice reform and true public safety for all. He chairs the Labor Committee in the Senate and is Chair of the Senate Black Caucus. He is focused on environmental justice, racial justice, economic freedom, and public safety for all.
