NEWS FROM THE POLITICAL REVOLUTION

Survey Results | & MORE!

★ ★ ★


Our movement knows we’re on the right side of history — and we’ve got
leaders like Bernie Sanders and Zohran Mamdani leading the charge to
put power back in the hands of We the People. 

That’s why Our Revolution is focused on building grassroots power to
Fight Trump & the Oligarchs with this three-point strategy:

 1. Fight the Oligarch Agenda - from Capitol Hill to City Halls - and
fight FOR an agenda that delivers for poor and working people
 2. Elect Progressive Champions up and down the ballot who are
committed to breaking the power of oligarchs
 3. Get Oligarch Money out of Democratic primaries and eliminate in
the influence of corporations, billionaires and consultants in
our political process 

Read on below to learn more about how we’re leaning into our mission
and fighting on all 3 fronts!

[1]Fight Trump & The Oligarchs

★ ★ ★


Trump continues to slash healthcare and critical programs, defund
public media and pad his pockets - and those of his benefactors -
with massive tax breaks and brazen crypto schemes.  Inspired by
Bernie, WE ARE FIGHTING BACK — on Capitol Hill and in the streets!


Our Revolution’s Citizen Action Team is taking bold action to
confront the worst of the Trump agenda.  We delivered [ [link removed] ]70,000
petitions directly to Senate offices, demanding they reject Trump’s
brutal budget cuts, and we organized dozens of lobby visits -
including with GOP Senators like Lisa Murkowski and Susan Collins -
on Capitol Hill.


We’ve also held rallies across the country and even marched outside
Trump’s luxury golf resort — where he was dining with crypto
billionaires. 

 

We’re not letting up. In fact, we’re escalating!

[3]Take Back The Party

HITTING THE STREETS - AND SUBWAYS - FOR ZOHRAN!


In the final days of the NYC mayoral election, Our Revolution made
over 60,000 calls and texts to Get Out the Vote for Zohran. 

Our volunteers also fanned out across the city — talking to 
undecided voters in the subways at rush hour and crowd canvassing in
key battlegrounds like Harlem, Sunset Park, the Upper East Side, and
Co-Op City.


And we weren’t alone — former US Rep. Jamaal Bowman joined us on the
ground, connecting with his former constituents and rallying New
Yorkers citywide. His trusted voice moved voters that we might not
have reached otherwise.

 

It was people-powered, passionate, and exactly what our movement is
all about!


Unfortunately, the fight isn’t finished. Our Revolution activists are
demanding that the Democratic Establishment unite behind Zohran.  We
recently delivered over 30,000 petitions to holdouts like NY Sen.
Kristen Gillibrand to call on her to apologize for unfairly attacking
Zohran and to officially endorse him.


“Democratic leaders love to talk about unity—until a progressive
wins. Every cycle, we’re told to fall in line for the good of the
party,” Our Revolution Executive Director Joseph Geevarghese told
[ [link removed] ]ABC News. 

 

“Well, Zohran Mamdani is the nominee—and yet the establishment’s
silence is deafening,” he continued. “It’s time for party leaders to
live up to their own standards and stand with Zohran against these
billionaire-funded attempts to undo the will of the voters.”

ANOTHER VICTORY!


Just last week, Our Revolution-backed candidate Adelita Grijalva won
the Democratic primary for Congress in Arizona’s 7th District. 

 

She isn’t just carrying the progressive legacy of her father, Rep.
Raúl Grijalva — she blazed her own trail as progressive policy leader
on the Tucson City Council member and as a former school board
president.

NEW ENDORSEMENTS!

At Our Revolution’s [ [link removed] ]Fight the Oligarchy Town Hall this past
Monday, over 50,000 activists came together to strategize to elect
our three newly-endorsed candidates:  Donavan McKinney (MI), Robert
Peters (IL) and Troy Jackson (ME) — all working class champions
backed by Bernie Sanders. 


Our Revolution is backing Donavan McKinney in his race for Congress
(MI CD-13) against Democratic incumbent and self-funded millionaire
Shri Thanedar, who voted to thank ICE and backs crypto deregulation. 

 

“I grew up poor, not knowing where my next meal was coming from,”
Donovan shared. “In 10th grade, my mom was crying because another
young black kid was murdered in our neighborhood. She looked me in
the eyes and said, ‘You have to survive.’ That moment made me realize
we need to fight for a better community.”

As a State Rep, Donavan has gone toe-to-toe with powerful Oligarchs —
he’s introduced legislation to ban monopoly utility money in politics
and pushed fellow Democrats to reject corporate cash from state
contractors. 

★ ★ ★


Our Revolution endorsed Robert Peters in his bid to win an open seat
in Congress representing Illinois’ 2nd district.   

 

As a State Senator, Robert advocated for economic and criminal
justice reforms and won:  Passing laws to end cash bail, strengthen
labor protections, and make sure public resources go to the public —
not to enrich Oligarchs.

 

At our Town Hall, he pledged to take this fight to Capitol Hill:
 “Nobody should worry about healthcare, food, or housing. We need to
restore dignity to working people and stand up to billionaires who
put profits before people.” 

★ ★ ★


Our Revolution is supporting Troy Jackson’s run for Governor of Maine
based on his track record as a labor leader who stood up to the
timber titans and took on  powerful corporate interests as State
Senate President.

 

His commitment to working people started young. “When I was a kid, my
dad was on strike. The landowner told workers:  Go back to work now,
or be replaced tomorrow. That’s when I learned how little the rich
think of us.”

 

Troy took that lesson to the State Capitol, leading the charge to
take on Big Pharma and greedy insurance companies, crack down on
corporate tax breaks, and protect elections from out-of-state
billionaires.

 

Now, he’s running to lead the state and deliver power back to the
people — and take it away from the billionaires and corporate
lobbyists who’ve rigged the system for too long.

NEW SURVEY RESULTS ARE IN!


A new survey of 5000+ Our Revolution members show - once again - that
there is a crisis of confidence in Democratic leadership, stemming
from years of corporate influence and a failure to be an effective
opposition party to Trump and the Oligarchs.

 

* 87% feel let down or frustrated by Party leaders
* 68% are pessimistic about Dems’ “Project 2029”
* 95% say listen to the grassroots not consultants
* 90% say Dems win when they embody change & inspire with bold
ideas

“Time and again, our base is demanding something much deeper: a party
that actually fights for us and not the wealthy elites,” Our
Revolution executive director Joseph Geevarghese told the media.

DON’T PARTY WITH OLIGARCH MONEY!

The survey results underscore the important work Our Revolution
leaders are doing inside the Party to Get Big Money Out of Democratic
Primaries.


At Our Revolution’s [ [link removed] ]Fight the Oligarchy Town Hall on Monday,
Larry Cohen, Our Revolution Board Chair & DNC member, unveiled a new
effort to ban outside Big Money independent expenditures in
Democratic primaries. “Voters—not billionaires—should decide our
candidates,” he noted. [ [link removed] ]Read his piece in BarnRaiser here.

 

Larry introduced Susheela Jayapal, an Our Revolution endorsed
candidate who ran for Congress in Oregon’s 3rd District, to talk
about how outside money hijacked her race. “Billionaires spent $6
million to defeat me,” she said. “Voters never got to hear my message
through the flood of attack ads.”

 

Momentum to ban Big Money is growing.  Arizona Democrats just passed
a rule to block outside spending in primaries—and with Our
Revolution’s backing, new DNC Vice Chair Ken Martin will bring a
similar resolution to the national party this August.

 

“This is a winnable fight,” said Jane Kleeb, DNC Vice-Chair and Our
Revolution Board Member said at the Town Hall, “but only if we
organize. The future of the party—and who it serves—is on the line.” 


As the Democratic establishment turns once again to consultants and
billionaire donors to plan their Project 2029 strategy and agenda,
our movement is growing larger and louder — and working for
transformative change. 

 

Leaders like Zohran Mamdani prove that our progressive priorities and
organizing model is what earns trust and wins elections.

 

“What’s moving people is not poll-tested platitudes,” Our Revolution
Executive Director Joseph Geevarghese said. “It’s unapologetic
leadership that centers working people and takes on corporate greed.
From Mamdani in New York to grassroots organizers in Michigan, the
path forward is being charted by people who know that democracy
doesn’t trickle down—it rises up.”
