In this episode of #SumudPodcast, we are excited to be joined by politician Cori Bush, a nurse, activist, and former U.S. Representative for Missouri’s 1st congressional district. Known for her unwavering commitment to justice, racial equity, and human rights, Rep. Bush has been a fierce advocate in Congress for marginalized communities, Palestinian liberation, and holding the U.S. government accountable for its foreign policies.

We dive into her journey from activism to Congress, the backlash she faces for speaking up on Palestine, and the challenges of pushing progressive policies within a government resistant to change. Rep. Bush also shares her thoughts on grassroots activism, the power of community organizing, and the need for political accountability in times of injustice.
