As atrocities are carried out in the Middle East and far right voices grow
louder in Congress, it’s clear why progressives must unify now to grow our
ranks and work for global peace and prosperity.

On Tuesday, we must defeat rightwing extremists at the ballot box and save
abortion rights in states like Ohio and Virginia. And, we must start
working now for 2024 to take back the House and elect progressives like
Barbara Lee — the only candidate for the U.S. Senate in California to call
for a ceasefire in Israel/Palestine.

[ [link removed] ]Check out this latest LA Times article on why Barbara is the Peace
Candidate in this race compared to her opponents Katie Porter and Adam
Schiff.

Our Revolution stands with U.S. Reps. Barbara Lee, Cori Bush, Summer Lee
and our other progressive allies in Congress who are calling for an end to
the violence.

The 2023 General Election is on Tuesday, and Our Revolution is mobilizing
voters to the polls to elect progressive champions in cities and states
nationwide!

Meet our candidates below, and be sure to get out to vote to help build
local power and build progressive majorities that can make a direct impact
in people’s lives.

turnout effort ahead of Tuesday. Every donation of $5 or $10 helps power
critical groundwork, phone banks, texting, door knocks and more in these

Our Revolution has been blazing a path for progressive cities in 2023,
from winning a progressive majority with Board President Megan Green in
St. Louis and helping elect Mayor Brandon Johnson in Chicago. Now we have
a chance to bolster progressive power in Pittsburgh with Sara Innamorato!

We backed Sara as she beat big money back in May to win the primary and on
Tuesday, she’ll be on the ballot to become the next Allegheny County
Executive!

If she wins, Sara will be part of a progressive trifecta in Pittsburgh
that includes Mayor Ed Gainey and U.S. Rep Summer Lee, whom she ran
alongside successfully for PA House back in 2018 with Our Revolution’s
support.

As County Exec, Sara will lead the second-largest county in Pennsylvania
and have the power to help protect abortion care, push for county-wide
housing, and address human rights violations in the county jail.

With Our Revolution’s slate of progressives, Democrats could win back
power in Virginia — and maintain the last bastion of abortion rights in
the South.

Nadarius Clark, Rozia Henson, Adele McClure, and Joshua Cole are all vying
for key seats in the Virginia State House, while Jennifer Carroll Foy,
Stella Pekarsky, and Lashrecse Aird could win races that block a
Republican takeover of the State Senate. This is critical since Gov. Glenn
Youngkin said he would sign any abortion ban the Virginia legislature
sends to his desk.

[ [link removed] ][IMG]

We aren’t overlooking any race where a progressive can pick up power to
use for the people. That’s why we’re backing Steve Descano for Fairfax
County Commonwealth Attorney and Parisa Dehghani-Tafti for Arlington
County Commonwealth Attorney.

Our Revolution is going all out with our local chapters and activists on
the ground to overcome insidious Republican power-taking and to turn out
enough voters to defend our rights.

Abortion is on the ballot in Ohio, and we have a chance to shut down this
new rightwing playbook to attack our rights. Our Revolution has been
organizing for months to make sure Issue 1 passes, and we preserve
reproductive rights in the Buckeye State and beyond.

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] ]We have just a few days left to make sure Ohio and Virginia voters
know what’s at stake and get to the polls on Tuesday. Please donate now to
bring home a critical win for abortion rights!

Our Revolution Twin Cities has a powerhouse slate of progressives in
Minnesota — and we are working to get out the vote to make sure each of
these champions wins re-election!

These candidates include Minneapolis City Council members Jeremiah Ellison
(Ward 5), Elliot Payne (Ward 1), and Robin Wonsley (Ward 2). And, in St.
Paul, we are backing City Council members Mitra Jalali (Ward 4) and Nelsie
Yang (Ward 6).

Also in Minnesota, Our Revolution members weighed in and we are endorsing
an exciting slate of progressive champions to win a majority on the city
council in Duluth!

We’re organizing to elect these three amazing women: Miranda Pacheco and
Jenna Yeakle for City Council At-Large and Wendy Durrwachter for City
Council District 1.

These candidates have a real shot at winning and building a strong
progressive bloc of local power, and we can’t let an opportunity like this
pass us by!

As corporations broaden their dark money fundraising networks into city
council and school board races, we need working-class champions ready to
confront them head-on, everywhere. That’s why we’re endorsing this slate
of progressive candidates in Washington!

Our slate includes Leah Perkel for Vancouver City Council, Charles Adkins
for Everett School Board (Position 5), Tammy Morales for Seattle City
Council (District 2), Teresa Mosqueda for King County Council (District
8), Jorge Baron King for King County Council (District 4).

Leah Perkel is an Our Revolution member and a former Bernie delegate. She
has firsthand experience with medical debt resulting from our lousy
private health insurance system, and she wants to be an agent of change to
help create healthier people and communities.

elections. Pitch in now to fund our voter turnout operation and support

Our Revolution stands with Izola Shaw in her run for Rockville City
Council At-Large and Martin Mitchell who is vying for Mayor of the City of
Laurel.

OR Member Izola Shaw was chair of the Montgomery County Racial Equity and
Social Justice Advisory Committee, helped found the County’s Racial Equity
Network (MORE), and helped pass the Racial Equity and Social Justice Act.

She has worked with the County Executive on public works, policing, rent
stabilization, and environmental protection through the Rockville City
Academy.

Laurel City Councilmember Martin Mitchell was a 2020 Bernie delegate and a
founding member of Maryland for Bernie Sanders. He has been a leader in
the fight for rent stabilization, marijuana decriminalization, and
collective bargaining for municipal employees.

Our Revolution is endorsing the Ithaca Solidarity Slate in New York!

Jorge DeFendini (Ward 4) and Phoebe Brown (Ward 2) are both seeking
re-election to the Ithaca Common Council, and Kayla Matos is a challenger
who would grow our progressive bloc on the council.

These are the races that determine the direction of cities and help us
build progressive power at the local level, where we can directly improve
people’s lives.

Jared Evans is running for re-election to a third term on the Indianapolis

higher wages, good jobs, and more for the blue-collar neighborhoods he
serves in District 17.

Juan Marcano is the proud son of Puerto Rican migrants and has been a
voice for working-class people representing Ward 4 on the Aurora, Colorado
City Council since 2019.

Now, Our Revolution is proud to endorse Juan to lead the city in a
progressive direction as Mayor. We know he will champion education,
affordable housing, and economic and social justice at the helm.

Our Revolution is endorsing Sheila Jackson Lee for Houston Mayor, who’s
running against John Whitmire — a Democratic defector who sides with
radical Republicans on voter suppression and racist policing policies.

U.S. Rep. Jackson Lee is a long-time member of the Congressional
Progressive Caucus, and she’s a fighter for Medicare for All, the Raise
the Wage Act, and the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act.

As the next Mayor, she’s committed to promoting policies to expand
healthcare, create good jobs, increase affordable housing, promote safe
and reliable public transportation, and protect the city from climate
disasters.

She’s also been endorsed by SEIU Texas, the Communications Workers of
America, and other key Our Revolution allies.

“Sheila is taking on far-right groups, corporate lobbyists, and
establishment politicians — including billionaire Trump donors, the NRA,
Republican anti-abortion zealots, and knee-jerk backers of Gov. Abbott’s
autocratic political agenda,” Our Revolution Board Member and former TX
Agriculture Commissioner Jim Hightower said.

“The fat cats are against her — but we are pushing hard for her, and there
are many more of us than them. The key is turning out our voters, and we
know how to do that!” Hightower added.

Greater Worcester Our Revolution is supporting Robert Billota for City
Council (District 2) in Worcester, MA.

Affordable Housing Coalition.

As we prepare for a massive GOTV push for Tuesday’s elections, we must
also keep an eye to our work for 2024.

Our Revolution is staffing up our organizing teams around the country now
to make sure we do our part to keep Trump and the far right out of office,
win back the House, and elect progressive leaders like Barbara Lee to join
Bernie Sanders in the Senate.

Barbara is the most progressive candidate in the race for the U.S. Senate
seat in California. Not only has she been on the forefront for peace -
casting the lone vote against the War in Afghanistan - but she has been a
trailblazer for climate, education, and of course, Medicare for All.

[ [link removed] ][IMG]

Barbara Lee was an original cosponsor of Medicare for All and she was the
first to introduce universal single-payer healthcare in the California
Legislature.

Last week, she joined fellow U.S. Reps. Pramila Jayapal and Ro Khanna, and
CA Assemblyman Ash Kalra at Our Revolution’s [ [link removed] ]Healthcare for All Town
Hall, where thousands tuned in to help chart a path for healthcare justice
on every front — from ending medical debt to guaranteeing healthcare as a
human right in California and nationwide.

[ [link removed] ][IMG]

Congressional Progressive Caucus Chair Pramila Jayapal emphasized the
importance of electing “more true universal healthcare champions to the
Senate just like my friend Barbara Lee.”

“She’s someone who will build the coalitions we need and do the organizing
on the inside in the Senate to get more senators to recognize what we all
know: the healthcare system is broken and we need Medicare for All,”
[ [link removed] ]Jayapal said.

“Together, we can finally give Americans what they deserve: universal
comprehensive healthcare that prioritizes people not profits — with
everybody in and nobody out,” she added. “I’m thrilled about Barbara Lee
running and that Our Revolution is doing the organizing on the ground to
help her win.”

Barbara in 2024 to advance the fight for healthcare justice and other
progressive issue priorities!

Rep. Ro Khanna served as a campaign co-chair for Bernie Sanders’ 2020 run
for President, and now he’s chairing Barbara Lee’s campaign for Senate.

He said she’s well-positioned in the race and much-needed in the seat
because she has been a fearless trailblazer - not only on Medicare for
All, but also on foreign policy, which sets her apart from her opponents.

“She was for Medicare for All and eliminating medical debt before anyone,
and she’s been the only person who opposed the war in Afghanistan
expanding,” [ [link removed] ]Ro said.

“When I used to say that 2 months ago, you know that’s great, but now we
NEED her voice,” he said. “She’s the only person talking clearly and
loudly about the Palestinians also who are being killed in Gaza. She’s
condemned the brutal Hamas attacks, but she’s also calling to end the
cycle of violence.”

“This is the time we need a candidate who is going to caution against
another expanded war, and a candidate who’s going to stand up for Medicare
for All,” Ro stated.

[ [link removed] ][IMG]

California Assemblyman Ash Kalra also joined the conversation - laying out
the path passing his bill for CalCare single-payer healthcare, which was
first authored by Barbara Lee.

“The bottom line is: CalCare is how we can get the greedy insurance
companies out of our healthcare system — the same doctors, nurses,
providers, they’re just funded through one source,” [ [link removed] ]Ash explained.
“Small businesses and individuals are getting ripped off.”

“Even with the most expensive healthcare system in the world, we have
people dying and medical debt is the number one cause of bankruptcy for
families in our state,” he said. “With our movement and a senator like
Barbara Lee, we can get it done. We can’t stop, lives depend on it, so
thank you Our Revolution for being the wind behind our sails to continue
to push us.”

Barbara Lee has also joined progressive leaders like U.S. Reps. Cori Bush,
Ayanna Pressley, and Mark Pocan, Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison,
and others on [ [link removed] ]Our Revolution Live Town Halls focusing on building a
[ [link removed] ]World Beyond Fossil Fuels, ending backyard drilling in California, and
more.

“The Senate needs Barbara Lee,” said Rep. Pocan. “If you want to transform
the Senate, make it more progressive, and give Bernie a real partner in
the Senate, we need to elect Barbara Lee.”

[ [link removed] ][IMG]

Our Revolution organizers and progressive delegates will be attending the
2023 California Democratic Party State Endorsing Convention the weekend of

for the U.S. Senate seat in California!

VICTORY! Congratulations to United Auto Workers who won tentative
agreements with the BIG 3 this week after months of hardfought
negotiations and strikes.

Our Revolution members joined workers on picket lines coast to coast —
from Maryland to Michigan to West Virginia and beyond.

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

Strikes work, join a union! UAW has proven that when workers organize,
they can win and defeat some of the most powerful corporations on earth.
This is why our working class progressive movement stands with the
burgeoning unionization efforts across the country.

[ [link removed] ]Barn Raiser featured Vermont Lt. Gov. Dave Zuckerman, who Our
Revolution has supported in his successful runs for office over the years,
in their latest issue.

The piece dives into Zuckerman’s success as a Vermont Progressive Party
candidate. Instead of ending up as a 3rd party “spoiler” in the general
election, he has cleared the field for victorious one-on-one races against
a series of Republican opponents.

Zuckerman offers his thoughts on Bernie’s influence locally, book banning
in other states, how to reach white working class voters, and the virtues
of being a working farmer. [ [link removed] ]Read more here!
