Our Revolution leaders joined with some of the country’s top progressive
minds at [ [link removed] ]The Sanders Institute Gathering last weekend — including
Bernie and Jane Sanders, Bill McKibben, Ben Jealous, and many others — to
talk about next steps in our fight to make our progressive policy
priorities a reality.

Our Revolution Executive Director Joseph Geevarghese led a panel about
Taking on Big Oil: Ending Fossil Fuel Subsidies with Rev. Lennox Yearwood
Jr. of the Hip Hop Caucus, Jamie Minden of Zero Hour and Erich Picha of
Friends of the Earth.

“Our democracy is on the line. But so too is the fate of our planet,” Our
Revolution Executive Director Joseph Geevarghese [ [link removed] ]told the panel.
“Bernie recently introduced the End Polluter Welfare Act to close their
tax loopholes and phase out the tax subsidies to Big Oil. We need a
movement to get this over the finish line.”

[ [link removed] ]Common Dreams reported on the panel and the next phase of the fight
against the fossil fuel industry in its piece this week titled, ‘Time to
Go for the Jugular': Climate Movement Has New Plan to Destroy Big Oil.

Americans are not only “dying because of the climate crisis” but also
paying fossil fuel companies “to kill us,” Rev. Yearwood told the
audience. “Their business plan literally means a death sentence for our
communities.” Hear more from Rev. Yearwood on our [ [link removed] ]Fight for the Future
Town Hall on Monday!

John Nichols of The Nation discussed the Role of the Media in Effecting
Change with David Sirota of The Lever and Jon Queally of Common Dreams.
Stephanie Kelton, a senior economic adviser to Bernie in his 2020
campaign, introduced her new film: Finding the Money.

On the topic of Fighting for the Working Class, we heard from Sara Nelson
- Int’l President of the Association of Flight Attendants CWA, AFL-CIO -
and Saru Jayaraman, President of One Fair Wage.

“Starbucks baristas did us a huge favor by organizing when many people
said it was not strategic,” Sara told the crowd. “Corporate elite tell us
you should feel lucky to have a job. We're gonna make sure they know they
should feel lucky to have our work!”

Wendell Potter, author and whistleblower, spoke on the HealthCare Crisis,
and a host of other speakers dug into key progressive priorities ranging
from the Housing Crisis to Social Security.

Mark your calendar for June 11th, and join us LIVE to discuss Worker
Organizing with the Economic Policy Institute and new developments at the
National Labor Relations Board.

NLRB General Counsel Jennifer Abruzzo will give us a breakdown on all the
major reforms her office has undertaken. And, Our Revolution Chair Larry
Cohen - former President of the Communications Workers of America - will
join her on a panel to discuss their impact on workplace organizing.

We’ll learn about the measures the NLRB has taken to support worker
organizing and bargaining rights under the Biden administration, and hear
from Cindy Estrada, Strategic Advisor to the President for the Center for
Transformational Organizing, AFL-CIO.

[ [link removed] ]RSVP here to join at 2pm EST/11am PST on June 11th and lift up the
fight for worker power!

Right wing billionaires, corporate cronies, AIPAC, and MAGA donors are
pouring millions into Democratic primaries trying to unseat some of our
top progressive champions in Congress.

Our Revolution and the grassroots progressive movement are rallying to
out-organize the Big Money. This means speaking directly to voters by
phone banks, online outreach, and knocking doors.

In the upcoming primary contests, we refuse to let powerful voices like
Rashida Tlaib, Ilhan Omar, Cori Bush, Jamaal Bowman and others be silenced
by the donor class. We will fight for democracy!

Our Revolution is once again endorsing Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez for
re-election to Congress in NY-14!

AOC continues to be a powerful voice for our progressive priorities from
ending student debt to Medicare for All to the Green New Deal.

She has been an outspoken advocate for a Ceasefire and Peace in Gaza. With
right wing and corporate money pouring into the race, it’s critical that
our grassroots movement do everything we can to keep her in office!

Our Revolution is happy to stand with David Zuckerman in his run for
re-election as Lt. Governor of Vermont!

David has been a lifelong ally of Bernie Sanders as well as an organic
farmer, environmentalist, and champion for the working class.

We look forward to hearing from him on our [ [link removed] ]LIVE Call Monday about his
work to advance climate action and hold Big Oil to account in the Green
Mountain State, where fossil fuel companies can no longer pollute with
impunity! Read more about the new legislation to do just that in
[ [link removed] ]Rolling Stone.

Our Revolution is excited to endorse State Rep. Emilie Krasnow for
re-election in Vermont, where she has been a powerful champion for
climate, housing, healthcare and more.

Emilie recently helped pass an historic bill in Vermont requiring fossil
fuel companies to pay for their own catastrophes. She believes we can meet
the global challenge of reducing greenhouse gas emissions to zero with
policy that focuses on equity and improves health, creates jobs, and saves
people money.

Other priorities include universal healthcare, expanded public transit,
and a house-first approach to ending homelessness. For the past decade,
Emilie has worked with affordable housing groups and unions, and is
co-chair of the Labor Caucus.

Our Revolution is proudly supporting the top labor candidate for Portland
City Council — Jonathan Tasini, a 32-year member of United Auto Workers.

The entire council is being restructured and will have 12 new councilors -
so this is a chance to think big and pass policy that can serve as an
urban pro-labor model for the entire nation!

With the most union endorsements of any of the 70+ candidates across the
four Portland districts, Jonathan is championing a pro-labor majority to
defend workers’ rights.

Congrats to Janeese Lewis George who won her primary and is likely to win
re-election in November to the DC City Council (Ward 4).

Our Revolution was proud to endorse Janeese because we know she is the
progressive leader we need. Janeese is on a mission for community
empowerment and social justice to shape a brighter, fairer future for all.

Growing up in a working-class family Janeese learned early on the
importance of family, hard work, education, and public service. Inspired
to fight inequities head on, she is an experienced attorney, civil
servant, and community activist.

Since being elected to the DC Council in 2020, Janeese has served on
committees for transportation and environment, labor and workforce, human
services, and more.

Congratulations to Annette Ramirez on winning the primary runoff for Tax
Assessor Collector in Harris County, Texas!

This important office is charged with improving election integrity in the
nation’s 3rd most populous county. We need to keep a progressive in charge
of voter registration rolls — not risk a Republican effort to “clean the
voter rolls” and make it harder to vote.

Annette will prioritize collections against corporations and big
businesses over homeowners and work for language justice and same day
voter registration.

More than 100 progressives joined the Massachusetts Unconvention on Zoom
call this week to plan out how best to shift the policy priorities of the
Democratic Party and oust incumbents stymying progress for the status quo.

“If we want to begin to have what I would call transformational politics
around housing, health care, jobs — it’s going to require taking on the
Democrats that are ensuring the continuation of the status quo,” Rand
Wilson, Our Rev Massachusetts leader and longtime labor organizer, told
[ [link removed] ]Politico Playbook.
