STATE OF THE UNION
From mobilizing more than 375,000 votes for Peace in Michigan and the
Super Tuesday primaries to hearing President Biden call for a temporary
“Ceasefire” and more aid for Gaza at the State of the Union — it’s been a
big week in progressive politics.
Biden acknowledged in his speech Thursday that the 30,000 people killed in
Gaza are primarily innocent civilians, and said he will be “working
nonstop to establish an immediate ceasefire to last 6 weeks to get all the
hostages released.. and build toward something more enduring.”
This is a start. But, while he’s looking to set up a pier on the coast of
Gaza to deliver more food, medicine, and aid to the Palestinian people,
what he did not announce was an end to U.S. support and weapons fueling
Netanyahu’s War on Gaza.
That’s why we must keep up the drum beat for a true and lasting Peace. We
need a permanent ceasefire ASAP.
★ ★ ★
NEXT STOP: WASHINGTON PRIMARY
The Uncommitted Vote is gaining momentum state by state — from Michigan to
Minnesota to North Carolina, voters are sending a clear message to
President Biden: End unconditional support for Netanyahu and broker a
permanent ceasefire.
Our grassroots supporters and activists have helped turnout more than
375,000 votes across the country in just over a week. And, this Tuesday is
Washington state’s chance to be the next megaphone for Peace!
Our Revolution is mobilizing our 132,000 supporters in Washington to get
out the vote for ‘Uncommitted Delegates’ to urge Biden to change course on
Gaza and save lives.
As Our Revolution Executive Director Joseph Geevarghese told [ [link removed] ]CalMatters
this week, this shift is also necessary for Biden to realign with the
young voters, progressives, and voters of color who won him the White
House in 2020.
“Coming off the momentum generated in Michigan, we need to continue
lifting up our voices and sending a clear message to President Biden—we
need a ceasefire now,” Joseph told [ [link removed] ]The Daily Beast. “If he doesn’t
change course, he will be putting our Democracy at risk.”
Let’s maintain our momentum - adding more “Uncommitted” votes from
Washington State to the overall tally will send a powerful message:
President Biden must realign with the values of the base or risk losing
peace voters in November.
[ [link removed] ]This work is critical but it's also expensive. Please chip in to help
us meet our $5,000 goal to make hundreds of thousands of voter contacts by
phone, text, and email ahead of Tuesday!

Barbara Lee didn’t get across the finish line, but our work for her Senate
campaign was not in vain. Every vote for Barbara was a vote for the Peace
Candidate in this race.
Our supporters and volunteers reached out with approximately 2 MILLION
voter contacts, and we were joined along the way by Ro Khanna, Pramilia
Jayapal, Rashida Tlaib, Cori Bush and other progressive leaders to lift up
Barbara and our issue priorities for Peace, healthcare for all,
environmental justice, housing, and much more.
We accomplished a lot in face of big money headwinds and the party machine
backing Adam Schiff. It’s unfortunate that Schiff used his plentiful
resources to elevate two-time Trump voter and Republican opponent Steve
Garvey — a strategy that may have backfired now that the two are
neck-and-neck for the general election in November.
“Despite being heavily outspent by my opponents, our values never
wavered,” Barbara said. “In every step of this campaign, we never backed
down from our progressive vision, and worked relentlessly to build a
coalition that represents communities that too often are not afforded a
seat at the table.”

CONGRATULATIONS LATEEFAH SIMON!
Our Revolution-endorsed Lateefah Simon came out on top in her race for
Congress, and now heads to the general election to succeed Barbara Lee in
California’s District 12.
As a veteran organizer and advocate for civil rights and social justice,
Lateefah is sure to carry on Barbara’s legacy in the seat.
She will bring a strong voice for universal healthcare, peace, housing,
reproductive justice, and more. As Barbara said, “Lateefah is from the
community and for the community.”

CONGRATULATIONS MARISOL RUBIO!
Our Revolution is excited to report that Marisol Rubio has succeeded in
her primary race for CA State Senate in District 9, and will be heading to
the general election in November!
As state senator, Marisol Rubio will dedicate more resources towards
California’s housing crisis, tackle homelessness, fight for healthcare
justice, and treat the climate crisis with the urgency it requires.
Votes are still being counted in California, and we’re happy to report
that many of our candidates are in the lead but we can’t announce them
just yet. Stay tuned for more progressive victories!

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, and elect strong, progressive leaders to turn this
ship around.

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.

sure our most powerful anti-war voices are not silenced by big money in
2024.
