We’re making Michigan a megaphone for Peace.
Our Revolution is joined by Rashida Tlaib and former Congressman Andy
Levin in this call to get progressives to ‘Vote Uncommitted’ as a push for
Peace in the Michigan presidential primary on Feb. 27th.
We must send a clear message directly to the Biden campaign: Change course
NOW on Gaza or else risk losing Michigan to Trump in November.
[ [link removed] ]If you’re in Michigan, pledge here to Vote Uncommitted on Tuesday!
“Our Revolution is throwing its weight behind the movement to vote
Uncommitted in Michigan’s Democratic primary, seeking to pressure
President Biden into changing his approach to the war between Israel and
Hamas,” wrote the [ [link removed] ]New York Times this week.
“It’s a strategic opportunity to send a signal to the president that he’s
got to change course,” Our Revolution Executive Director Joseph
Geevarghese told [ [link removed] ]CBS News.
This effort intends to “realign with the values of his base, including
young voters, voters of color, and Michigan’s significant Arab-American
population,” reported John Nichols in [ [link removed] ]The Nation.
“Months of protests and activism in cities across the country continue to
be ignored, and this latest veto (of the UN ceasefire resolution) shows
exactly why it’s imperative for voters to send a message to the Biden
administration at the ballot box,” Joseph told [ [link removed] ]The Hill.
“With just a few days until the Michigan primary vote, Biden’s blockade of
the cease-fire resolution will only intensify the outrage and galvanize
pro-peace voices to vote ‘uncommitted’ to make their voices heard,” Joseph
said.
Our Revolution organizers are making calls, sending texts, and emailing
our 87,000 members in Michigan — chip in so we can reach as many Michigan
voters as possible.
[ [link removed] ]The grassroots has already chipped in $12,000 for this project, but we
need to raise $20,000. Can you make a donation now to help us close the
gap? Thank you for being a voice for Peace!

We have a shot to elect a true champion for Peace in Barbara Lee to the
U.S. Senate. Not only did she stand alone in Congress to vote against the
Iraq War, but she was one of the first to stand strong for a Ceasefire in
Gaza.
But, Barbara has been leading the charge on just about every progressive
issue from Day 1 — reproductive rights, healthcare for all, racial
justice, environment, poverty, and so much more.
She truly is the movement candidate in this race, and we are excited to
rally with her in a GOTV tour across California leading up to the last day
to vote on March 5th.
On Monday, we’ll be joining Barbara Lee and friends at Sweet’s Ballroom in
Oakland, CA for a major campaign rally that kicks off at 6:30 pm PST.
Barbara will also be rallying at 7pm PST tonight in Bakersfield,
California — so don’t miss it if you’re in the neighborhood!
We are proud of the strong and diverse multi-generational, multi-ethnic,
grassroots coalition backing Barbara. Now it’s time to turn our coalition
out to vote.
Join Congresswoman Lee and friends for rallies in [ [link removed] ]San Diego and
[ [link removed] ]Orange County on Saturday, March 2nd, and in [ [link removed] ]Inland Empire and
[ [link removed] ]Los Angeles on Sunday March 3rd!
[ [link removed] ]Our Revolution organizers and volunteers have already made 1.5 million
voter contacts into California. Pitch in $5, $27, or $50 to help us reach
our goal of making another half-million contacts before voting ends on
March 5th.

And, Our Revolution is supporting Lateefah Simon for Congress to succeed
Barbara Lee in the seat from California’s District 12.
If elected, Lateefah is sure to carry on Barbara’s legacy in the seat — as
a veteran organizer and advocate for civil rights and social justice.
She is a strong advocate for single-payer universal healthcare, reducing
military spending, putting peace first, and lifting up priorities of
housing, reproductive justice, and more.
As Barbara said, “Lateefah is from the community and for the community.”
[ [link removed] ]Organized people can beat organized money, and these races are going
to come down to our grassroots power. Pitch in today to fuel our GOTV
operation in 2024.

In California, Our Revolution is endorsing three great candidates to join
the Kern County Democratic Central Committee in District 3 — and make the
party more transparent and responsive to the grassroots.
Neel Sannappa is the chair of Our Revolution Kern County and has worked to
hold politicians accountable for voting against working families in Kern
County.
Megan Russell currently serves as a representative for ADEM AD35 and has
previously been the membership coordinator for Our Revolution Kern County.
Megan has lots of great experience in Community, Electoral, and Labor
Organizing and is currently an external Union Organizer with SEIU.
Ajaib Gill is a lawyer who is committed to criminal justice reform,
education, and our progressive platform. He would be a strong progressive
voice inside the party.
[ [link removed] ]It’s critical that we continue to elect progressives at every level of
government. Chip in a one-time or monthly donation to advance our
priorities against the political establishment.

In total, Our Revolution has endorsed nearly 100 progressive candidates in
California, and we’re activating our grassroots army to power our massive
GOTV operation - from calling and texting to knocking doors.
You’ve met our slate in [ [link removed] ]Sacramento, where we can elect Sean Frame to
the California Assembly and win a progressive majority on the Sacramento
City Council.
In [ [link removed] ]San Francisco, we’ve endorsed two judges facing right-wing “tough
on crime” opponents and a host of progressives running to transform the
Democratic Party from the inside out at the county level.
We’ve also introduced you to Our Revolution’s slates in [ [link removed] ]Alameda
County, [ [link removed] ]Contra Costa County, and [ [link removed] ]Southern California — where we
have powerhouses like Jovanka Beckles, who took on Chevron and won, and
Alex Mohajer, who would be the first openly gay Iranian man elected
anywhere in the world.
[ [link removed] ]Our Revolution is running a massive GOTV operation on the ground, on
the phones, by mail and through voter to voter conversations. Chip in to
help us build progressive power in California and beyond this election
year.

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.
[ [link removed] ]If you can, please kick in a few bucks or commit to a recurring
donation to help us staff up and get to work — there’s no time to waste!

AIPAC lobbyists are already preparing to spend more than $100 MILLION to
try to unseat some of our strongest peace champions in Congress, including
Pramila Jayapal, Rashida Tlaib, Ilhan Omar, Cori Bush, Summer Lee, and
others.
Progressives are under attack for demanding a Ceasefire and an end to the
killing of thousands of Palestinian civilians and children — and we must
have their back in 2024.
[ [link removed] ]Help fund our phone banks, texting, and voter-to-voter mobilization to
defend and expand progressive power in Congress and beyond. We must make
sure our most powerful anti-war voices are not silenced by big money in
2024.
