BUILD LOCAL POWER
[ [link removed] ][IMG]
Progressives won big this week, electing new Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson
and shoring up our majority in St. Louis — and we’re just getting started!
“It was a momentous win,” said the [ [link removed] ]Associated Press. “It comes as
groups like Our Revolution, a powerful progressive advocacy organization,
push to win more local and state offices in upcoming mayoral elections in
Philadelphia and elsewhere.”
We also saw our slates in Kansas City MO and Lincoln NE advance to the
general and won a city council seat with Suzanna Ibarra in Joliet IN!
Thanks to the surge of support from Our Revolution members and volunteers,
we made nearly half a million voter contacts for Tuesday’s races.
[ [link removed] ]City by city, our working-class coalition is building power from the
bottom up. Join our organizing call Monday to learn more!

Brandon won on a vision of co-governance with the people of Chicago, and
that is precisely the inside-outside strategy we need for change.
“The fact Brandon Johnson could go up against the 'defund the police'
slogan and the police union and win is incredibly heartening for
progressives,” OR Executive Director Joseph Geevarghese told [ [link removed] ]ABC News.
“We don't have to run away on the issues of crime and public safety,” he
said.

Tuesday’s victories show that when we organize, we can overpower big money
and reclaim our communities.
“This is the fundamental fault line within the Democratic Party we’re
seeing being played out,” Joseph told [ [link removed] ]Vox. “Brandon’s win shows that a
broader message about safety can resonate, and not just a
lock-up-more-people message.”

In St. Louis, we held our progressive majority in the city, electing six
to the Board of Alderman to join Board President Megan Green and Mayor
Tishaura Jones.
It was a good night, Green, a former Bernie delegate, told the [ [link removed] ]St.
Louis Post Dispatch. “The future of St. Louis is progressive.”
Local power directly impacts lives. In St. Louis, progressives have
already delivered a basic income pilot program, and next up are tenant's
rights and homelessness initiatives.

Next up is Pennsylvania!
In November, we elected US Sen. John Fetterman & US Rep. Summer Lee. Now,
Helen Gym is running for Philly Mayor and Sara Innamorato is up for
Allegheny Co. Executive in Pittsburgh!
Hear from both of them and St. Louis’ Megan Green on our National
Organize-to-Win Call on Monday.

We’re seeing a surge of anti-choice, anti-protest & other terrible bills
because the right wing has seized down-ballot power.
But, thanks to years of organizing, we now have a chance to take that
power back in upcoming races in Houston, Buffalo, Kansas City, Akron,
South Bend, Lincoln & beyond!

NEW ‘TAX THE RICH’ STICKER
[ [link removed] ][IMG]
NEW STICKER! April is tax season, but we think it’s past time to take a
lesson from Bernie and make sure billionaires pay a higher tax rate than
school teachers!
Billionaires currently pay about 3 percent of their total income in taxes.
This isn’t rocket science, we need to tax the rich and invest in our
people.
Get your sticker with a one-time donation of $10 (only $5 for members!) OR
sign-up for a monthly donation of $5 or more.
