INSIDER NEWS FROM THE FRONTLINES OF THE POLITICAL REVOLUTION
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
HEADLINES: 2024 Homestretch | Teamsters for Trump? | Post-Debate Survey |
Swing State Organizing | Phonebank Week | Newest Victories | CA Rent
Control | Greenpeace Under Attack | & MORE!
★ ★ ★
We are just weeks away from Election Day, and Our Revolution is hosting a
LIVE Call on Monday, Sept. 30th to jumpstart the 2024 Homestretch with
U.S. Rep. Ilhan Omar and The Nation’s John Nichols to discuss the state of
the race.
We will also drill down on exciting down ballot races and ballot measures
that will directly impact crucial issues like housing, union rights, and
climate. You don’t want to miss this! [ [link removed] ]RSVP here to join us LIVE at
8:30pm ET/5:30 PT on Monday 9/30.

In a rare and shocking move, the Teamsters Union announced it will not
endorse the Democratic candidate for President, VP Harris.
Not only does this mean LESS boots on the ground in this final homestretch
to Election Day, but NEARLY 60% of Teamsters say they’re voting for Donald
Trump!
Working class voters are pivotal in this election, and it’s up to us to
get the word out on Trump’s economic policies and his broken promises to
workers. [ [link removed] ]Help us urgently expand our organizing in the swing states.

In Our Revolution’s [ [link removed] ]post-debate survey of 12,000 progressives, we found
a motivation deficit that must be overcome if we hope to defeat Trump in
November. Some worrying signs:
* HALF indicated they’re not motivated to talk to friends and family or
volunteer to help turnout voters.
* Nearly HALF have doubts that Harris will take on corporate power, and
a quarter distrust her authenticity.
Look, we’re not crazy about the Dick Cheney endorsement either (as Our Rev
Director Joseph Geevarghese told [ [link removed] ]The Atlantic), but we’ve seen Harris
can be moved on issues from medical debt to price-gouging. [ [link removed] ]If you want
to help make sure we have a terrain to fight on in 2025 — rather than
battling Trump for four years — chip in here.

With polls tight, Our Revolution launched a massive Swing State Operation
to make 5 million voter contacts into the 7 key battleground states —
Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, North Carolina, Nevada, Pennsylvania, and
Wisconsin.
Biden/Harris narrowly beat Trump by less than 300,000 votes in these
states four years ago, and 2024 will be a turnout election — whichever
side runs the most effective voter mobilization will prevail.
We must maximize the next 45 days to Nov. 5th. That’s why our organizers
are pounding the pavement to recruit volunteers and invest in expanding
our phone banks, email and text operations. [ [link removed] ]Support our Swing State
Fund here.
★ ★ ★
Join our 2024 Swing State Phone Bank to help defeat Trump from anywhere in
the country. As early voting gets underway, we’ll be calling into all 7
battleground states for 7 days, and it all kicks off Wednesday, Oct. 2nd.
This is how we run up the margins where it counts the most!

The mature forests of Washington State may have just been saved by a mere
49 votes that gave Dave Upthegrove victory in his race for Public Lands
Commissioner.
Our Revolution carried out ballot curing efforts that validated 57 ballots
to make the margin of victory — out of 1.9 million votes cast. We also
made over 300,000 voter contacts in the lead up to this election!
Dave was the only candidate not funded by the timber industry. With his
background in conservation, Dave will protect the forests, work to prevent
forest fires, and grow local economies. And he will be the first openly
gay statewide executive in state history!
★ ★ ★
In Massachusetts, we’re celebrating the victories of U.S. Reps. Ayanna
Pressley and Jim McGovern — both champions for progressive economic
policies that uplift working families. They have both called for a
ceasefire and to freeze US military assistance to Israel.
Down ballot, we have two more progressive victories: Mara Dolan for the
Governor’s Council in District 3, and Allison Cartwright for Supreme
Judicial Clerk in Suffolk County.
[ [link removed] ]Chip in to help us beat Trump and the far right, while electing more
progressives like these up and down the ballot this November.

Congrats to Jacqueline "Jack" Porter who WON as the clear progressive
choice for Tallahassee City Commission — where we are now just ONE seat
away from achieving a progressive majority!
Porter is focused on the affordable housing crisis, economic insecurity,
gun violence, and environmental justice — and her strongest opponent is a
real estate developer backed by the police union.
★ ★ ★
Congratulations to our winning candidates in Rhode Island! This is how we
make a more progressive State House that will deliver for working people
and families.
State Reps. Enrique Sanchez, Brandon Potter, Kelsey Coletta, and Cherie
Cruz will fight for fair wages for all workers, solutions to the housing
crisis, and better education and healthcare for all.
★ ★ ★
Victory in Delaware! Congrats to Eric Morrison for State Representative in
District 27. Eric will be an incredible ally in the fight for economic and
social justice in the State House.
We are proud to support him in his mission to advance paid sick leave, an
end to the criminalization of poverty, growing union power, and more.

NEW ENDORSEMENTS
Our Revolution just endorsed three new candidates for Richmond City
Council in California! Claudia Jimenez, Sue Wilson, and Melvin Willis have
all spent years in service to their communities.
We know they will remain undaunted in their commitment to our progressive
values as leaders on the council — from social justice to protecting the
environment. This is how we build power from the bottom up.
[ [link removed] ]Please chip in any amount to help power our voter turnout operations in
2024. As we battle Trump and the far right, we must also invest in
defending AND expanding progressive power across the country.

As [ [link removed] ]Politico reported, Our Revolution is getting out the vote for Yes
on Prop 33 — the ballot measure for much-needed Rent Control in
California.
We’re phone banking, texting, emailing, and having one-on-one
conversations with California voters — and many are sharing their housing
stories and struggles with us.
Orin in Santa Rosa is having to live on a small boat because it’s simply
too expensive to live on land in California.
Arianna, a new mother in Whittier, said her partner works 12 hours a day
and they can still barely afford to live. “A man was recently killed in a
drive-by shooting on our street,” she said crying. “It isn’t safe here,
but it's the only apartment that we can afford.”
The rent is too damn high! The AVERAGE rent is now $2,895 in California,
and more than 171,000 people are now homeless in the state.
Not only will Prop 33 allow cities and counties to expand Rent Control, it
will allow local communities to stop predatory corporate landlords from
charging unfair and unaffordable rents.
We are proud to be part of this massive coalition of renters, families,
veterans, seniors, and young people fighting alongside social justice
organizations and labor unions for Justice for Renters.

Bernie Sanders went live from the Senate floor this week to call for an
end to U.S. support for Netanyahu’s war on Gaza.
He announced that he will introduce a resolution to STOP the $20 billion
U.S. weapons sale to Israel because our government is breaking U.S. and
international law by continuing to fund Netanyahu’s war regime.
[ [link removed] ]Stand with Bernie: Support his resolution to block weapons sales to
Israel. Not another nickel, and not another bomb, for Netanyahu’s immoral
war on the people of Gaza.

BIG OIL vs. GREENPEACE
Greenpeace is under attack from the notorious corporate polluter Energy
Transfer - which is trying to bankrupt the organization for standing up
against the Dakota Access Pipeline.
As Rep. Jamie Raskin told the [ [link removed] ]Wall Street Journal, "Energy Transfer’s
$300 million lawsuit against Greenpeace shows how megacorporations deploy
legal strategies to strong-arm and crush their critics."
Our Revolution is joining with hundreds of our allies to demand that the
corporation - which also is behind the massive [ [link removed] ]pipeline fire now
raging in Houston - to drop the meritless lawsuit, warning that it “could
have a chilling effect on anyone engaged in peaceful protest and
assembly.”

Billionaires and corporate cronies are pouring millions into the 2024
election trying to elect Trump AND beat some of our top progressive
champions up and down the ballot— but we refuse to be silenced by the
donor class.
We must out-organize the Big Money and rightwing extremists with a massive
GOTV operation in the swing states and beyond. [ [link removed] ]Please chip in any
amount to power our voter turnout operations across the country in 2024.
