Time and time again, the Congresswoman has shown her compassion and commitment to the people of District CD-1. For carrying out her campaign promises, she has been targeted for attacks and slander by conservative forces who do not represent us.
Says OBS Executive Director Jamala Rogers, “We were disappointed that Wesley Bell has chosen to run against Cori Bush. We know that anyone has a right to run for public office, but it should be based on the incumbent not living up to their responsibilities to the constituents they vowed to serve. Cori has been an unwavering fighter and tireless servant for us, and we want to send her back to The People’s House.”
In addition to bringing billions of dollars home to the district to meet the challenging needs of St. Louis families, Cori has stood on principle in protecting reproductive and voting rights, in advocating for affordable and accessible housing and medical services, as well as standing up for the disenfranchised and marginalized citizens in this country.
The Organization for Black Struggle (OBS) is seeking a summer intern to work with the team on a collaborative project with several partners. They include, but are not limited to, the UMSL Museum Department, the State Historical Society of Missouri (SHSMO), and We Are St. Louis. The team will include interns working with our partners.
Join us for an important conversation examining the ongoing fight for community control and police accountability. Beginning with the police killing of Marilyn Banks, this panel will trace the organizing strategies led by the Coalition Against Police Crimes & Repression (CACPR) to advance local control and establish an independent civilian oversight board.
We are outraged over the treatment of youth last weekend by the Mayor of St. Louis and SLMPD. After incidents were reported in North City, South City, and Downtown on 314 Day Weekend, the Mayor put a 10pm curfew in place for Downtown the following weekend. As a result, 23 youth from ages 11 to 17 were threatened, harassed, zip-tied, thrown into SLMPD vehicles, and taken to a non-disclosed location.
