As we discussed on yesterday's national organizing call, Our Revolution leaders and members in states like Wisconsin, California and Massachusetts, were critical in convincing the Biden campaign to support the Bernie delegate positions based on the voters and not obscure party rules.
These delegates, in turn, can help preserve party reforms like limiting the role of superdelegates in future presidential campaigns and in pushing for a progressive platform and policies like Medicare for All, stopping fracking, and enacting immigration reform.
Democratic Party leaders also understand that they can’t simply seat hundreds of New York delegates after Governor Cuomo was able to cancel the presidential primary. These fights may seem obscure, but in our two-party system, we must fight to limit the power of party bosses if we expect to see a government that works for us.
Working to change the Democratic Party for the better is one of the key parts of our strategy at Our Revolution, and it’s enormously gratifying when our organizing makes a difference.

Our Revolution has built upon Bernie Sanders’ progressive vision and brought energy into many of the state Democratic parties to challenge the conformity that has ruled for decades.
Together, we have learned that there are no shortcuts. Real change won’t happen without continuous, sustained hard work.
Because of our efforts, the Democratic Party platform should be significantly more progressive on health care, climate change, money in politics, and much more.
Getting progressive policies into the platform is a crucial first step that allows us to hold Joe Biden and others accountable once they are elected to office.
Pitch in here to help support Our Revolution’s ongoing work to challenge corporate power and make the Democratic Party more progressive and fair.
Onward,
Larry Cohen
Board Chair
