John,

I sat down for a fireside chat with Ohun Ashe, an organizer and sister in this work, to share something deeply personal: our story, the pain of the last campaign, why I’m running again, and what’s at stake for St. Louis.

We talked about 2024, the price of challenging power, and what it feels like to carry that weight as a Black woman. We also talked about love — the kind that keeps you standing even when the attacks come hard.

Watch it here:

I won’t lie to you: the last race hurt. Not just me, but our entire community. We were up against billionaire money, lies, and a political machine that wanted to silence our voices. They didn’t just want me out of Congress; they wanted to crush the movement we’ve built together.

But St. Louis doesn’t break. We rise.

That’s why I’m running again. Because families here are still struggling with rent, groceries, and health care. Because our communities are still hurting from environmental injustice, poverty, and politicians who put corporations before people. Because our rights and freedoms are still under attack.

I refuse to let Trump’s billionaires decide the future of St. Louis.

This campaign is about us. About the single mom wondering how to keep the lights on. About the elder who can’t afford their medication. About our kids who deserve safe neighborhoods and a future full of possibilities.

And if we’re going to win, we have to do it together. That means all of us. Right now.

Will you chip in whatever you can today to power this movement? Every dollar goes straight into the fight.

Watch the fireside chat, share it with your people, and let’s remind the world: St. Louis is built for this fight. And so am I.

In solidarity,
Cori

Across St. Louis, families are being priced out and pushed out. Cori Bush is fighting back for affordable housing, fair wages, and utilities as a human right. Be part of this people-first movement. Join Team Cori today and sign up to volunteer.
