Join us for Busboys and Poets Conversations: An Evening with Congresswoman Cori Bush
Congresswoman Cori Bush is a registered nurse, community activist, organizer, single mother, and ordained pastor representing the people of Missouri's First Congressional District. Congresswoman Cori is in her second term in the United States House of Representatives, serving on the House Oversight Committee—including as Ranking Member on the Subcommittee on Economic Growth, Energy Policy, and Regulatory Affairs—and the House Judiciary Committee.
Cori is the first Black woman and first nurse to represent Missouri; the first woman to represent Missouri's First Congressional District; and the first activist from the movement to save Black lives elected to the United States Congress.
After assuming office in 2021, she became known as one of the progressive "Squad" members within the Democratic Party. She has been outspoken in her criticism of Israel's actions in Gaza, which has led pro-Israel organizations to invest over $10 million in efforts to challenge her during the primary.
Congresswoman Cori Bush will be in conversation with Andy Shallal, CEO & Founder of Busboys and Poets.
This in-person event is your chance to hear directly from Congresswoman Cori Bush and engage in meaningful conversations. Don't miss this opportunity to connect with a dedicated public servant and advocate for change.
