Bernie Sanders has dropped out of the 2020 Democratic presidential primary race. This is not the outcome that we’ve wanted, and it’s easy to feel disappointed right now — but nothing actually ends today. Thank you, Bernie, for bringing the issues we care about the most to the forefront.
“Not me. Us.” wasn’t just a campaign slogan for Bernie. It was an admission that electoral campaigns are inherently temporary, and that the only path toward real justice for working people is long-term mass mobilization and participation in the political process.
John, what has always separated Bernie from other candidates is you, and the millions of Americans like you. People who understand what the Democratic Party should be. People who understand that health care and economic security are basic human rights. People who believe that if one of us isn’t free, none of us are.
Bernie’s presidential campaigns became a movement that brought millions of Americans into the political process. That terrified the Democratic establishment, and now, they’re hoping our movement will finally disappear so they can get back to business as usual.
For nearly four years, Our Revolution has worked at the local and national levels to bring working-class and young people into the political process. Together, we are rebuilding the Democratic Party from the bottom up. Today, our work continues.
Donate now to help Our Revolution continue transforming our country. Bernie started us down this path, and we must continue.

Some Americans overvalue the importance of political figureheads and undervalue the impact of systems, institutions, and, most importantly, grassroots movements.
As a global pandemic wreaks havoc on our health care and economic systems, it has never been more important to challenge big money’s control of our political system and fight for guaranteed health care, employment, and a social safety net strong enough to protect American workers.
We never thought that any of this would be easy. We always knew that the forces that benefit from these systems would fight changes at every step of the way.
The only way we can prevail is to stand together in solidarity and organize — and that’s exactly our plan. Lives are at stake, and we can’t stop fighting for a more just country.
Contribute here to help us keep organizing to build the long-term power necessary to ensure that every American is guaranteed health care, education, a safe workplace, and more.
Many of the issues that Bernie brought to the forefront — from getting big money out of politics to Medicare for All — are now widely popular ideas. It’s on US to continue pushing forward until they are legislative reality.
What led to Donald Trump’s election is the deep structural rot of a broken system that answers to the wealthy and powerful at the expense of the health and security of the rest of us.
Our Revolution remains dedicated to organizing a political revolution powerful enough to challenge the structural forces that threaten our survival as a society.
Together, we are building a national grassroots network of powerful local groups who are winning progressive issue fights, electing progressive champions, transforming the Democratic Party.
The future of the United States depends on our ability to continue building a movement powerful enough to defeat the special interests who will do whatever it takes to prevent us from restoring a democracy of the people.
Donate to support our collective mission to build the long-term power necessary to make Bernie’s progressive vision a reality.
In solidarity,
Our Revolution
