NEW ‘TAX THE RICH’ STICKER

[ [link removed] ][IMG]

NEW STICKER! Tax day is just days away, and Chairman Sanders is taking on
the billionaires — who now pay less in taxes than teachers, baristas, and
the rest of the working class.

It’s absurd that billionaires pay just 3% of their total income in taxes.
This isn’t rocket science, we need to tax the ultra rich and invest in
public education, school meals, child care, and our future!

Get this fresh Bernie sticker when you support our work with a one-time
donation of $10 OR a monthly donation of $5 or more.

Progressives won big last week, electing new Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson
and shoring up our governing majority in St. Louis — and we’re taking that
energy city to city!

“The fact that we were able to out-organize big money with people power
speaks to the growth of the progressive movement as a political force,”
Our Revolution Executive Director Joseph Geevarghese told [ [link removed] ]The Guardian.

Thanks to the surge of support from Our Revolution members and volunteers,
we made nearly half a million voter contacts for our candidates — and it
paid off!

Former public school teacher Brandon Johnson won on a vision of
co-governance, which is precisely the inside-outside strategy we need for
change.

Outspent 2:1, but with organizing power at his back, Brandon defeated
tough-on-crime school privatizer Paul Vallas by 4 points!

“We were able to show a broader vision of community safety, which means
investment in good schools, mental health, and good jobs,” Joseph said.
“This is the fruit of organizing over multiple election cycles.”

when Helen Gym will be on the ballot for Philly Mayor!

NEXT UP, PENNSYLVANIA!

[ [link removed] ][IMG]

Our Revolution is shifting our operations to Pennsylvania, where we’re
putting our full support behind Helen Gym in an exciting race for Mayor of
Philadelphia!

A former Philly teacher turned activist for public schools and immigrants
rights, Helen served two terms on city council, where she helped pass fair
work week, eviction diversion, and real material investments in Philly
schools.

Helen has pushed Philadelphia Gas Works to cut ties with industry
lobbyists and transition off fossil fuels faster, and she’d be one of the
nation’s top climate mayors!

“This isn’t just about Congress, it’s about setting the blueprint for the
country - city by city - and proving we have the kind of vision for our
lives we all deserve!” Helen Gym said on our [ [link removed] ]National Organize-to-Win
Call Monday.

“This work connects all of us together,” she told us. “The fights here in
Philadelphia are echoed throughout the country, and when we win on the
ground in our cities, that’s the blueprint because we cannot wait for
Congress to do what our people need.”

Helen laid out a powerful whole-city vision from guaranteed employment to
transforming education, permanent affordable housing to clean water,
better transit, and green spaces. [ [link removed] ]WATCH HELEN’S CLIP HERE

“I hope that, wherever you may be, you’re going to look to Philadelphia
over the next 30 days and you’re going to see a people’s movement really
rise — not just to take on city hall, but the entrenched status quo
politics that have held us down too long,” Helen told us.

Folks, we have a chance to elect a movement leader and longtime ally to
the mayor’s seat in Philadelphia. We did it in Chicago and we can do it
again. Let’s make some calls!

Our Revolution backed Rep. Sara Innamorato in her run for PA House in 2018
alongside now-US Rep. Summer Lee, and now we’re proud to endorse for
Allegheny County Executive — a key seat in Pittsburgh!

In office, Sara has led dozens of bills for affordable housing, higher
wages, environmental protections, reproductive healthcare, and much more.

At the level of County Exec, she’d have the power to directly affect
people’s lives — from county-wide housing to addressing human rights
violations in the county jail to protecting abortion care.

[ [link removed] ][IMG]

“This is the level of government where we take the big ideas and make them
real,” Sara told us on our [ [link removed] ]Live National Call on Monday. “This is
where we show people what’s possible and how we build a better world and
what that better world looks like in our day-to-day lives.”

“Governing is a team sport, which means no one elected official does this
work alone. It requires building coalitions within the halls of government
and on the outside,” she said. [ [link removed] ]WATCH SARA SPEAK HERE

[ [link removed] ][IMG]

These are the races that make the difference. We have an opportunity to
elect a real agent of change and organizing partner to lead Allegheny
County. Let’s get to work!

“These are two incredible progressive women who are building power in
cities with a real chance to win,” OR Political Director Aaron Chappell
told [ [link removed] ]Politics PA. “They’ve both shown an incredible capacity to stand
up on the issues.”

“We’re not a money organization, we’re a people organization.” Aaron said.
“We’ll be working to turn out nearly 100,000 members in Philadelphia and
Allegheny County to propel them to victory and deliver progressive
change.”

In St. Louis, we held our progressive governing 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.”

On our Monday Call, Megan explained how years of organizing and
coalition-building in the city led to these wins, and how they passed a
basic income program. Next up, a tenant's bill of rights and houseless
bill of rights! [ [link removed] ]WATCH MEGAN’S CLIP HERE

VICTORY! Our Revolution Nashville Leader Brenda Ross and OR-endorsed Metro
Councillor Zulfat Suara celebrate with Rep. Justin Jones (above) after he
was reinstated to the State House on Monday!

By Wednesday, fellow progressive Rep. Justin Pearson joined him in a
victory for democracy — the result of years of organizing people power at
the grassroots level.

For years, we’ve worked with Justin and other allies to elect progressives
like Zulfat Suara, Delishia Porterfield, and Emily Benedict to the
Nashville Metro Council — which is who voted to reinstate Jones and
Pearson!

[ [link removed] ][IMG]

Justin Jones went from a community activist organizing with Our Revolution
to State Rep to now a national hero. That’s why we must empower more folks
like Justin, city by city, across the country.

Here’s a throwback to when Justin Jones spoke with our candidates and
activists at the Our Revolution Nashville training in 2020! [ [link removed] ]WATCH THE
VIDEO

[ [link removed] ][IMG]

Nashville Metro Council member Delishia Porterfield joined our Monday
Night Call to break the news about Justin’s reinstatement and lay out the
stakes and the work ahead.

She said it’s no coincidence these young leaders are being targeted by
Republicans for standing with the people in demanding basic gun reform.

“Watch what’s happening in Tennessee because it can come to your state,”
Delishia told us. “We're asking folks to invest in organizing. Support the
good candidates, the nonprofits, and activists doing this work because
without us working together, they're going to try to take over.” [ [link removed] ]WATCH

As we see unfolding in Nashville, the organizing work we’ve put into
building local power is crucial. But we need to put more of tomorrow’s
fighters in office today — and power is up for grabs in cities nationwide
this year.

We’re taking the energy from our wins in Chicago and St. Louis to our next
big races in PA: Helen Gym for Philly Mayor and Sara Innamorato for
Allegheny Co. Exec!
