As Republican chaos paralyzes Congress, it’s crystal clear why
progressives must grow our ranks and take back power for the people.

Not only must we defeat rightwing extremists at the ballot box in just a
few weeks - and win victories for reproductive rights in states like Ohio
- we must also start working now to take back the House and more in 2024.

If you’re already a member of Our Revolution, please consider pitching in
an extra donation to our [ [link removed] ]Progressive Power Fund to help us build out
our organizing in key districts and swing states now — not later.

[ [link removed] ]If you’re not yet a sustaining member, please consider a monthly
donation to ensure we have the resources needed to shift the balance of
power in Washington, D.C., and beyond.

Our Revolution is mobilizing our outside movement and elected allies to
stand with frontline communities across California who are being directly
harmed by oil and gas drilling.

Not only is carbon deadly for our planet, oil wells and refineries are
making people sick.

On Tuesday, our coalition of environmental activists was joined by U.S.
Reps. Barbara Lee and Ro Khanna on our [ [link removed] ]LIVE Town Hall to organize for a
world beyond fossil fuels, prevent backyard drilling in California, and
fight for environmental justice for all.

Our Revolution is proud to join US Reps. Barbara Lee and Ro Khanna to
endorse the [ [link removed] ]Campaign for a Safe and Healthy California, a grassroots
campaign to keep the law and keep drilling out of backyards.

We heard directly from Californians who’ve been harmed by oil and gas
drilling and are working to fend off Big Oil’s attempt to overturn SB1137,
a bill passed last year to ensure all oil wells are set back at least
3,200 feet from homes, schools, hospitals, nursing homes, and more.

Listen to CA State Senator Lena Gonzalez lay out the case in [ [link removed] ]this
video clip from the town hall, asking political leaders in California who
they’re going to believe - the fossil fuel industry or folks on the
frontlines?

“Fossil fuels are dirty and dangerous to drill out of the ground,
hazardous to store in underground wells, and poisonous to burn for fuel,”
Barbara told us Tuesday, calling on President Biden to [ [link removed] ]declare a
climate emergency.

“Oil and gas wells are a toxic presence in neighborhoods throughout
California and a simple law creating a safe buffer zone between these
dangerous sites and where people live, work and play is just common
sense,” she said.

Barbara Lee has been at the forefront of the fight for environmental
justice her entire life. She was an original cosponsor of the Green New
Deal and is a co-lead on the Environmental Justice for All Act. This week,
she released her Senate campaign’s environmental platform, calling for
President Biden to declare a climate emergency.

“We must rapidly transition away from dirty fuels NOW or face dire
consequences,” Barbara said. "Access to clean air, clean water, and a
healthy environment should not be a luxury.”

California. Sign up at our new Progressives for Barbara Lee website to

In a recent survey, Our Revolution members in California identified
upholding SB1137 as their top policy priority, and we are mobilizing our
1.1 million members in the state to fight back against Big Oil’s effort to
repeal the law.

If you’re in California, sign up now to be part of our growing Climate
Corps, and fight alongside frontline communities to ban big oil from
backyards.

“Last year alone, the fossil fuel industry spent over $34 million in
California on lobbying with a focus on repealing SB1137,” said US. Rep. Ro
Khanna. “It’s outrageous that Big Oil is fighting against this commonsense
public health measure.”

“Enough is enough, I’m proud to stand with Our Revolution and Barbara Lee
to move beyond fossil fuels and to fight back against these dirty
tactics,” he said.

To Nalleli Cobo and so many others, the dangers of oil drilling are more
than an abstraction.

At just 19, Nalleli led a coalition to shut down a toxic oil drilling site
in South LA. Now, she’s fighting alongside our coalition to make sure it’s
banned from backyards all across the state of California.

“I fight so my story ends with me, so I’m the last 9-year-old to become an
activist out of survival. I also fight so I’m the last 19-year-old to
choose between her reproductive system or her life,” she told us at the
town hall. “I was diagnosed with Stage 2 reproductive cancer at 19. These
toxic sites are affecting us at every stage of our lives from beginning to
end.”

“We do have wins and that’s the power of Our Revolution and grassroots
organizing,” said Fatima Iqbal-Zubair, Chair of the California Democratic
Party Progressive Caucus.

She said it is because of activists knocking doors, making calls, and
showing up to demand environmental justice that other bills have passed to
make polluters pay for capping wells, make corporations report emissions
and climate financial risk, and more.

“Here’s the hopeful thing,” Fatima said. “Wins happen when we come
together, when legislators who believe in this come together and fight
alongside us against industry.”

Abortion is on the ballot in Ohio on Nov. 7th, and early voting is
underway! Our Revolution has been organizing for months to make sure this
measure passes, and now we’re in the homestretch to preserve reproductive
rights in the Buckeye State.

We all know the drill — after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, a
small but loud group of deep-pocketed extremists took to the states,
determined to gut abortion laws.

But the resistance has been real. Thanks to grassroots funding, armies of
volunteers, and organizations like Our Revolution, we have a real shot at
enshrining a woman’s right to abortion access in the Ohio constitution.

[ [link removed] ]Our Revolution staff and volunteers have just over 2 weeks to reach as
many voters as possible in Ohio to make sure they understand what’s at
stake and have a plan to vote. Chip in today to help us reach our voter
outreach goal and win abortion access in Ohio on Nov. 7th!

Bernie Sanders just issued a report that found that in 2021, six of our
country’s biggest so-called “non-profit” hospital systems spent less than
1% of their total revenue on charity care.

The only reason these facilities have non-profit status is because they
are supposed to give free or discounted health care to those in need. It’s
another example of major corporations getting millions of dollars in tax
loopholes, while everyday Americans foot the bill.

Bernie is calling on Congress and the IRS to crack down on this abuse of
the system. Will you join him?

[ [link removed] ]Sign on here to tell Congress and the IRS: no more tax breaks for
corporate hospitals. We demand accessible health care in our communities.

Our Revolution members have been joining United Auto Workers on picket
lines nationwide — from Maryland to Michigan and beyond.

On Thursday our activists stood with striking workers outside a GM Plant
in Martinsburg, WV, and outside a Mopar location in Winchester, VA.

We’re canvassing dealerships and distributing leaflets in our community
about the UAW’s Stand-Up Strike and how Ford, General Motors, and
Stellantis are refusing to settle fair contracts with 150,000 workers
after making $250 Billion in profits.

Our Revolution Minnesota marched on Cargill HQ with Brazilian indigenous
leader Beka Saw Munduruku, widely considered the Greta Thunberg of Brazil.

Last Thursday, Munduruku, along with environmental leaders and Our
Revolution activists, hand-delivered a [ [link removed] ]letter at Cargill’s
headquarters, located just outside of Minneapolis.

Cargill is the largest family-owned corporation in the U.S. and the most
powerful force in global agribusiness. The Cargill-MacMilian family has 14
billionaires!

The corporation’s sprawling operations in the Brazilian Amazon and
neighboring Cerrado biome, and its reckless practices are driving an
ever-expanding wave of deforestation, pollution, and violence against
local communities like the Munduruku. On the day of action, a full-page NY
Times ad ran demanding the family change their disastrous behavior.

Our Revolution and One Fair Wage have been teaming up coast to coast to
raise wages and end subminimum wages for tipped workers.

After winning a historic victory in Chicago last month, our coalition of
worker activists in NYC is continuing the fight. We’ll be joined Friday
(Oct. 27th), joined by NY State Attorney General Letitia James, Assembly
Member Gonzalez Rojas, and NY State Senator Robert Jackson.

Together, we will release a report on the largest survey of service
workers conducted post-pandemic, and build on our successes to ensure a
full minimum wage for all service workers, with tips on top.

[ [link removed] ]RSVP HERE

Our Revolution Political Director Aaron Chappell testified this week in
support of a bill to eliminate the tipped minimum wage in Prince George’s
County, Maryland. Enough is enough — workers deserve a living wage.
