Grupos ecologistas nacionales respaldan a Cori Bush para el Congreso.

Today, Oil Change Action, the Center for Biological Diversity Action Fund, and Friends of the Earth Action endorsed Cori Bush for Congress in Missouri’s First District. A pastor, former nurse, and community organizer, Bush represented the district between 2021 and 2025. 

Cori Bush was among the first congressional candidates to sign the No Fossil Fuel Money Pledge, committing to reject campaign contributions from the oil and gas industry. While in Congress, Bush championed environmental and climate justice legislation. She was the author of the Green New Deal for Cities, a transformative legislative package to transition our nation’s cities away from fossil fuels, and a strong opponent of sending billions in public money through fossil fuel subsidies to boost oil, gas, and coal profits. 

Collin Rees, Campaigns Manager at Oil Change Action, said: 

“We are proud to support Cori Bush’s campaign for Congress. Cori has spent her life fighting for communities across St. Louis to ensure everyone is safe from police violence, climate disasters, and toxic pollution. She’s committed to making our democracy work for working people by protecting voting rights, getting Big Oil money out of politics, and putting people before corporate profits. She is the fighter for working families and climate justice we need in Congress.” 

Brett Hartl, National Political Director at Center for Biological Diversity Action Fund, said: 

“At a time when corporate polluters have far too many allies in Washington, Cori Bush has never hesitated to stand up for clean energy, environmental justice, and the communities forced to bear the costs of pollution. We’ve seen firsthand her commitment to advancing bold climate solutions that protect people and hold polluters accountable. She’s going to bring that same fearless leadership back to Congress and we’re proud to endorse her.” 

Erich Pica, President of Friends of the Earth Action, said: 

“Cori Bush is a leader who has the courage to stand up for Missouri’s 1^calle Congressional District. She will fight for the rights of all people to breathe clean air, drink clean water, and live in safe, healthy communities. We are proud to endorse Bush and urge voters to support her.”
