People vs. The Police State | Grounding ICE Flights | Victory! DNC to
Curb Dark Money | Mamdani Momentum | New Endorsements | & MORE!

★ ★ ★


Tyranny is rising in America. Trump’s taking over our cities,
silencing dissent, and targeting his "enemies"- including immigrants,
workers, and activists. 

“Trump’s federal takeover is more than an abuse of power — it’s a
deliberate merger of authoritarianism and oligarchy,” Our Revolution
executive director Joseph Geevarghese wrote in an op-ed in [ [link removed] ]The
Hill.


Big Tech funded Trump’s return to power, and now his administration
is funneling billions of our tax dollars to build a Big Brother
state, put troops in our streets, and fund cruel detention centers
and deportation flights.

It can all feel dystopian. But Our Revolution REFUSES to sit on the
sidelines. We’re Fighting Oligarchy by exposing the corruption,
unleashing pressure campaigns in the halls of Congress, and deploying
our volunteer-led Citizen Action Teams across the country.


Our activists have protested Crypto Oligarchs at the Trump Golf
Course and led nationwide actions against Trump's Police State
Oligarchs like Palantir and Avelo Airlines. And, we just passed a
resolution to start getting Big Money - like AIPAC and CRYPTO - out
of the Democratic presidential primary in 2028.

 

We don’t have time to waste. That’s why Our Revolution is focused on
building grassroots power to Fight Trump & the Oligarchs with our
targeted 3 Point Strategy:

 1. Fight Trump’s Oligarch Agenda - from Capitol Hill to City Halls
 2. Elect Anti-Oligarch Champions up and down the ballot 
 3. Get Oligarch Money out of Politics and uplift the grassroots 

[ [link removed] ]And we’re just getting started. Chip in a donation of any amount
to help fuel this people-powered resistance.

THE PEOPLE VS BIG BROTHER


With nationwide protests from DC to NYC to Seattle, Our Revolution is
sounding the alarm: Big Tech is cashing in on Trump’s surveillance
state — using our tax dollars to spy on us all.

[ [link removed] ]Watch our VIRAL video from NYC Palantir Protest!

“These tech giants poured millions into Trump’s campaign. Now they
are reaping billion-dollar federal contracts in return,” Our
Revolution’s Joseph Geevarghese wrote in [ [link removed] ]The Hill.  “This is the
modern security state: Big Tech serving the political ambitions of an
authoritarian president.”


At the center is Palantir, billionaire Peter Thiel’s Big Brother
machine. Palantir powers ICE raids, predictive policing, and even
military targeting — all while raking in billions in federal
contracts.

 

We refuse to bankroll Trump’s tech cronies to spy on our
communities—and we’re fighting back. Add your name to tell Congress
to halt federal funding for Palantir and put people’s privacy above
corporate profits.

Avelo Airlines took a $150M contract to run ICE deportation flights —
turning our airports into launchpads for tearing families apart.

 

Public outcry followed — protests, billboards, and pressure campaigns
— and it’s working. Our Revolution San Fernando Valley activists
helped ground Avelo’s flights in Burbank, California and up the West
Coast.


Now our activists in Maryland are turning up the heat. At
Baltimore-Washington International (BWI), a state-owned airport, Gov.
Wes Moore and state officials have the power to block Avelo and stand
with immigrant families or let our tax dollars bankroll Trump’s
deportation machine.

If you're near Hanover, MD, [ [link removed] ]RSVP here to join us this Sunday to
demand Gov. Wes Moore cut BWI’s ties with Trump’s deportation
machine. Or [ [link removed] ]click here to sign the petition if you live in
Maryland!

MAINE ACT: BERNIE & TROY!


This Labor Day weekend, Bernie is making a special stop in Portland,
Maine to rally alongside Our Revolution-endorsed [ [link removed] ]Troy Jackson —
logger, union leader, and working-class champion for Governor — and
Senate candidate Graham Platner — oyster farmer, Marine veteran, and
bold challenger to Susan Collins.

 

It’s time to start scaling up for 2026, fight back against the
billionaire class, and win real power for working people.

MAMDANI MOMENTUM


Wow. Andrew Cuomo just told donors at a Hamptons fundraiser that he’s
ready to work with Trump to try to beat Zohran Mamdani in the NYC
mayor’s race.

 

The establishment is terrified of Mamdani because he is fighting for
policies that serve US — not the donor class. Even Democratic leaders
like Hakeem Jeffries are refusing to unite behind him as the
Democratic nominee. 


In the primary, Our Revolution organizers made over 60,000 calls and
texts for Zohran. Our volunteers hit all 5 boroughs — joined by
former US Rep. Jamaal Bowman to canvass voters in subways and key
battleground districts. 

 

Now, we’ve got just a few short weeks to mobilize the troops and go
even BIGGER. We’ll have boots on the ground across the City, but
we’re also firing up our phone bank operation.

[ [link removed] ]MAKE CALLS FOR MAMDANI

★ ★ ★


And, Mamdani is not alone. Our Revolution is amassing a wave of
progressive champions for the 2026 Midterms — and we’re ramping up
NOW to out-organize Big Money.

 

At our recent [ [link removed] ]Fight Oligarchy Town Hall, more than 50,000
activists came together to strategize with congressional candidates,
Donavan McKinney (MI-13) and Robert Peters (IL-02), and Troy Jackson
for Maine Governor. 

We’ll be rolling out lots MORE endorsements — from Congress to City
Council — including working class champions like Drew Duncan:


Our Revolution is proud to support Drew Duncan for Kalamazoo City
Commission.

 

Drew doesn’t just talk progressive change — he’s delivering it.  As a
local Our Revolution member, organizer, and community leader, Drew
has been at the forefront of the fight for affordable housing, green
energy, and investment in underserved communities.

 

This is what Our Revolution was built for: electing bold progressives
at every level of government who will challenge the status quo and
put people over profit. Let’s show what grassroots power can do in
Kalamazoo.

[ [link removed] ]Help us ramp up our grassroots GOTV machine to elect progressives
up and down the ballot this November and hit the ground running for
2026 — every dollar helps!

[14]Elect Candidates

★ ★ ★


VICTORY! We just won a major milestone in the fight to get Big Money
out of politics. The DNC voted Wednesday to finally crack down on
dark money in presidential primaries.

“Blocking corporate money in the nominating process and blocking dark
money — those are two great steps,” Our Rev Chair Larry Cohen told
[ [link removed] ]Common Dreams.


“New progressive candidates have been blocked by the onslaught of
money from crypto, fossil fuel and an endless parade of corporate
spending, as well as AIPAC and other right-wing groups and Republican
billionaires,” Our Revolution Chair Larry Cohen wrote in an op-ed in 

[ [link removed] ]The Nation.

“This resolution is about putting power back where it belongs — in
the hands of voters, not corporate elites,” said Our Revolution
leader Joseph Geevarghese. “This victory belongs to the grassroots.” 


This comes after 10 years organizing, electing progressives into the
party structure, and keeping up grassroots pressure — [ [link removed] ]we
delivered 13,000+ petitions just this week to the DNC.

 

Now the hard work begins: making sure these reforms are enforced for
2028 and beyond. For too long, Super PACs and billionaires have
drowned out grassroots voices. 

Our Revolution will keep leading the charge to get AIPAC, crypto, and
other dark money out of the party — and we won’t stop until primaries
belong to the people. [ [link removed] ]Donate $5, $10, or $27 to fuel the next
phase of this fight.

★ ★ ★


Going into the 2026 mid-terms and the 2028 presidential race, we need
to make sure candidates embrace a progressive agenda that connects
with voters and will deliver for poor and working people in office. 

 

“Harris lost because she did not embrace an economic populist
message. The electorate is angry about their standard of living
declining and about the elites controlling D.C. and enriching
themselves,” Our Revolution’s Joseph Geevarghese told the [ [link removed] ]LA
Times. 


To that end, we’re asking Our Revolution supporters like you to help
us shape our candidate endorsement process. Take our [ [link removed] ]Candidate
Priorities Survey to weigh in on what YOU want to see them run on to
WIN in the Midterms.
