John,
ONE THOUSAND.
That’s how many progressives Our Revolution has helped elect to public office since Bernie Sanders gave us our mission in 2016.
Our voter mobilization strategy has been battle-tested against billionaire SuperPACs, and as political director here at Our Revolution, I’m proud to say we have a proven record of winning 2 out of 3 races where we’ve endorsed.
While the 2024 presidential race is taking center stage in the media, we’re getting a jumpstart on making sure progressives pick up more House and Senate seats by replacing corporatists like Kyrsten Sinema.
Seat by seat, we’re in the fight to build progressive power over the long haul. We know how to win tough races, but we need your support to go up against Big Money. Help us gear up for 2024 right now with a recurring donation of just $5 or $10 a month.
Our goals for 2024:
- Grow the Congressional Progressive Caucus - This is key to our strategy. Having a bigger, more disciplined voting bloc in the House means the difference between advancing our progressive priorities and blocking pro-corporate legislation. Last year, we added 9 new progressives - like Greg Casar - to the CPC, and we’re already getting a head start on 2024 by endorsing climate activist Aaron Regunberg for an open Congressional seat from Rhode Island.
- Grow progressive power in the Senate - Last year we helped elect John Fetterman and Raphael Warnock to join Bernie in the Senate, and in 2024 we’re planning to put more progressives on deck to fill seats vacated by Diane Feinstein and others.
- Hold the Democratic establishment accountable - By fielding as many progressives as possible in primaries for Congress, we can counter the Democrats who are already moving to the middle and abandoning popular progressive policies.
Grow our war chest and help us run the grassroots-powered political campaigns that progressive candidates need to win. An effective phone bank operation can cost more than $1000 a day, and we want to be ready and resourced for the Big Money battles ahead.
In addition to federal races, we’re also going to continue expanding progressive power at the local level. In 2023, we elected former teacher and union leader Brandon Johnson as mayor of Chicago, and we helped Our Revolution board member Megan Green build a progressive governing majority in St. Louis to advance her agenda as president of the Board of Aldermen.
We’re building progressive voting blocs at every level of government so we can win on the issues that matter most. We hope you’ll give a recurring donation so we can start organizing right now for ALL the races we must win in 2024.
Bernie’s unprecedented presidential runs inspired a new generation of progressives to run for office, and Our Revolution has a proven track record of helping good candidates win. We’re now strategically positioned to dramatically expand this work in 2024, and we appreciate your solidarity.
When we organize, we win!
Aaron Chappell Our Revolution Political Director
