With just ONE MONTH to Election Day, Our Revolution’s GOTV operation is in
full force in the swing states to defeat Trump once and for all. [ [link removed] ]Chip
in to help us make 5 million voter contacts into the 7 battleground
states.

Ilhan Omar joined Our Revolution and thousands of progressives tuning in
LIVE from around the country to kick off the final Homestretch of the 2024
Election.

Ilhan knows how crucial grassroots GOTV work is in a turnout election —
and how important it is to reach voters who may face language barriers or
need extra help getting to the polls. She also knows the stakes of this
election.

“In Minnesota we made transformative legislation with Tim Walz as
Governor, and I know that’s possible for us as progressives to have that
level of co-governance with him if he becomes the VP of this country,”
Ilhan said.

Also on the [ [link removed] ]Live Call, we released Our Revolution’s Swing State Survey
results (see below) and drilled down on exciting down ballot fights for
housing, union rights, climate, education, and more.

[ [link removed] ]Donate any amount to help ramp up our on-the-ground organizing in the
battleground states and beyond. We’re on a mission to beat Trump and elect
more progressives at every level.

Writer John Nichols of The Nation joined our discussion, sharing his
insights on the state of the race after traveling the swing states.

John said voters are hungry for a clear vision for economic renewal, and
that the Harris/Walz ticket needs to do better in rural areas than both
Hillary and Biden did in order to win.

“For young voters or disenchanted voters, there’s an intersection between
raising wages, access to unions, restoring manufacturing, and saving the
planet. They need to hear that 21st Century vision,” he said.

SURVEY RESULTS

From our survey of more than 1,400 Our Revolution supporters in the 7
swing states, we’re seeing some worrying signs of a motivation gap among
progressives.

One in four told us they know progressives who aren’t planning to vote for
Harris — and four out of five think Harris providing more policy details
would help sway voters in their swing state.

We know that celebrity endorsements won’t be enough — it will take
voter-to-voter outreach to make up the tight margins in states like
Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Michigan.

Unfortunately, our organizers and survey-takers are reporting an influx of
grassroots Trump canvassers and door-knockers — and the majority say
they’re seeing more Trump signs than Harris signs in their neighborhoods.

[ [link removed] ]WE HAVE A LOT OF WORK TO DO

★ ★ ★

The polls are razor thin, and Our Revolution is carrying out a massive
[ [link removed] ]Swing State Operation to make 5 million voter contacts into the 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.

Our Revolution organizers like William and Jessica are hitting the streets
in the 7 swing states that will decide the 2024 presidential election.

Not only are we knocking doors and setting up events for direct voter
outreach — our national team is mounting a massive phonebank operation.
(p.s. Can you spot our GOTV kitty in the picture above?)

[ [link removed] ]We must maximize the next 30 days to Nov. 5th. Please pitch in any
amount to power our Swing State Strategy — there’s no time to waste.

★ ★ ★

For those who can’t donate, we hope you’ll consider volunteering for a
shift with our [ [link removed] ]Swing State Phone Bank — which kicked off this week with
thousands of calls into Pennsylvania and Arizona.

This is the best way for progressives to make an impact from anywhere in
the country, and have fun while we’re at it! This is how we run up the
margins where it matters most.

To illustrate just how powerful the grassroots can be, look no further
than the victory of Dave Upthegrove for WA State Public Lands Commissioner
— a key seat for climate and the environment.

Our Revolution made 300,000 voter contacts into the state ahead of
election day, then helped chase down ballots to beat Big Timber’s
hand-picked candidates by just 49 votes — out of more than 2 million votes
cast!

“The takeaway is simple. Every vote matters,” Dave told us on the Live
Call Monday night. “Timber put $1.2 million behind our opponent and we won
by running a grassroots campaign. Our Revolution’s work matters, keep it
up!”

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!

right, while electing more progressives like Dave up and down the ballot.

Chicago Teachers Union President Stacy Davis Gates joined our Live Call
and laid out our plan to elect a progressive school board in Chicago.

For the FIRST time ever, Chicago voters will be able to elect their school
board members — and Our Revolution is supporting CTU’s powerful slate of
10 progressives on the ballot.

“We have expanded democracy in the city of Chicago,” Stacy told us. “It’s
an amazing feat, and it only happened because we organized AND we voted
AND we went on Strike.. and and and..” Our diverse movement is fighting on
every terrain — and that’s how we win.

NEW ENDORSEMENTS

“For the people, not the powerful.” That’s the rallying cry of the
campaign of Dean Preston for San Francisco Supervisor (D-5) — who has the
support of both Our Revolution and Bernie Sanders.

Our powerhouse slate in Northern California also includes Kate Harrison
for Mayor of Berkeley, Vinnie Bacon for Mayor of Fremont, Carroll Fife for
Oakland City Council (D-3), Jackie Fielder for SF Supervisor (D-9), and
Lynda Deschambault for East Bay Parks District (Ward 2).

These are candidates who have a record of championing the issues that
directly impact the bottom line of moneyed interests — from taxing the
rich to protecting tenants rights. Let’s get them into office!

Housing has rightfully become a top national issue this election season.
We’re proud to be part of the coalition fighting for direct policy change
in California that could be replicated in other states.

Michael Weinstein of Justice for Renters joined our Live Call Monday to
rally for Prop 33 — the ballot measure for CA Rent Control which would
also allow local communities to stop predatory corporate landlords from
charging unfair rent.

“The rent is too damn high,” Michael said. “California is the poorest
state by standard of living. Billionaire corporate landlords are sucking
this country dry. They’re using algorithms to squeeze the last bit of
money out of tenants.”

“Solving the housing affordability crisis requires a variety of
approaches, but it starts with the rent,” he said. This is why Our
Revolution is calling, texting, emailing, and having conversations with
Californians to vote Yes on Prop 33.

"We’re poised to win worker’s rights at the ballot box in Denver,” CWA
Organizer Katie Romich told our live audience Monday night.

Our Revolution is proudly supporting the Stronger Denver ballot measure
for collective bargaining rights for all public workers — Vote Yes on 2U!

Despite NOT having organizing rights, Denver workers joined together and
built the political power to get collective bargaining on the ballot,
Katie explained. She thanked Our Revolution for mobilizing to make over
50,000 voter contacts to get the Mayor and City Council to stand with
workers.

CLIMATE CATASTROPHE

This is climate chaos in action — and one of the deadliest storms in U.S.
history. Our Revolution is joining with Sunrise Movement, Friends of the
Earth, and other great organizations to hold Big Oil accountable for the
horrific damage of storms like Hurricane Helene.

The full scale of devastation is still being calculated, but hundreds of
Americans are dead from Florida northward to Western North Carolina. FEMA
has specifically cited climate change as having made the storm more
dangerous.

Insult to injury — our own tax dollars continue to supercharge disasters
like Helene. Instead of taxpayers pouring $20 billion a year in subsidies
to Big Oil, we should be charging them a tax to clean up their
fossil-fueled disasters.

Billionaires and corporate cronies are pouring millions into the 2024
election trying to elect Trump AND beat some of our top progressive
champions — 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] ]Donate to Our
