 As we head into this holiday season, the call for Peace on Earth is needed more than ever. Our Revolution stands with our progressive movement in calling for a ceasefire in Gaza and an end to the bombing that is killing thousands of innocent civilians.

 Progressives are leading the call for Peace, and we have their back! Join Barbara Lee and other special guests on Our Revolution’s Peace for All Town Hall on Jan. 4th to join the call for a Ceasefire in Gaza and the push for Peace. Innocent lives are being lost and progressives in Congress calling for an end to the bombing. But, now, the AIPAC lobby is set on spending $100 million to try to defeat some of our biggest peace champions in 2024. RSVP HERE★ ★ ★
 Join U.S. Senator Jeff Merkley and U.S. Rep. Barbara Lee in conversation on Our Revolution’s LIVE National Organize-to-Win Call on January 8th!

Merkley’s new book “Filibustered: How to Fix the Broken Senate and Save America” — and offer a special pre-order! RSVP HERE

If you’re in the Bay Area on Martin Luther King Day, we would love for you to join Our Revolution and Barbara Lee for a LIVE in-person Town Hall on Education for All.

Join Our Revolution for this year’s Reducing the Threat of Nuclear War Conference — one of the nation’s most significant gatherings of Nuclear Disarmament advocates, led by Massachusetts Peace Action.
Guest speakers will include U.S. Rep. Ro Khanna, OR Board Chair Larry Cohen, Shailly Gupta Barnes of the Poor Peoples Campaign, Prof. Alan Robock of Rutgers University, Dr. Ira Helfand of the Back from the Brink Campaign, and many other leading peace advocates.
We are in a period of unusual danger and difficulty: The Russia/Ukraine conflict has sharply increased the danger of nuclear war; The tragic Israel/Gaza Conflict threatens to expand; The Pentagon budget is higher than ever and still going up; Cold Warriors in high places are beating the drums of war toward Russia and China; And, within the US right wing forces are working to weaken voting rights and representative democracy.
We must keep the candle lit for peace.

AIPAC lobbyists are preparing to spend more than $100 MILLION to try to replace pro-peace members of Congress like Rashida Tlaib, Ilhan Omar, Cori Bush, Summer Lee, Jamaal Bowman, and others — at a time when 66% of Americans want our government to work toward a ceasefire.
We must defend progressives who are bravely speaking out to demand a ceasefire and peace in Gaza and around the world. We will not be intimidated into backing down when such atrocities are taking the lives of innocent civilians and children.
Help us have their backs and make sure strong antiwar voices are not defeated by big money in 2024. With a recurring donation of $5 or more — or a one-time donation of at least $10 — we will send you the Defend Peace/Defend Democracy sticker above with our gratitude.

Every seat matters. That’s why Our Revolution is gearing up NOW for 2024 to expand our organizational capacity and our voter turnout operation for the crucial battles to come.
Not only must we defeat Donald Trump and the far right, but we have got to take back the House, defeat enemies of progress like Kyrsten Sinema in the Senate, and elect amazing progressives like Barbara Lee to turn this ship around.
If you can, please kick in a few bucks to help us staff up for the big elections ahead in 2024 — there’s no time to waste!

In September of 2001, Barbara Lee cast the lone “No” vote in Congress against a blank check for war in Afghanistan. She endured death threats, hate mail, and media slander for years. But history vindicated her.
Today, Barbara Lee is the only candidate for U.S. Senate in California calling for a ceasefire in Gaza. Check out this LA Times article on why Barbara is the Peace Candidate in this race compared to her opponents, Katie Porter and Adam Schiff.
