My name is Kina Collins. I'm a gun violence prevention advocate and healthcare organizer. Now I'm running for Congress to replace the third most corporate-funded Democrat in Congress, Danny Davis. #Thread

Our communities face urgent fights, but our Congressman isn't standing with us. When reproductive rights were under attack this year, Danny Davis stayed quiet. When the #BuildBackBetter agenda was under attack, Danny Davis didn't join progressives in holding the line.

In the West and South Side of Chicago, we can't afford a politician who won't fight for us every. single. time. Our families are struggling and our problems are urgent. We need new leadership who won't just vote, but will fight like hell for our communities.

I'm running for Congress to bring that urgency to Congress. Whether it's gun violence or the need for universal healthcare, these are deeply personal issues for me. And I'm going to fight for the people, not for special interests.

My opponent can't say the same. Over 73% of his money comes from corporations. I'm not taking a penny of corporate PAC money because I know that money corrupts.
Now that it's the last month of the year, Danny's big corporate donors are writing their checks.

Every December Danny Davis cashes in checks from some of his biggest supports: Big Pharma, Big Oil, Walmart, Amazon, Google, and more. This year we know he's going to pull out all the stops to try and outraise us.

He may have his corporate donors, but we have the people.
Our end-of-year fundraising deadline is coming up fast and we need to get a head start. Can I count on you to chip in and share this to grow our grassroots campaign?
