NOBODY ELECTED ELON MUSK. The world’s richest man is illegally rifling
through our government for ways to cut programs like Medicaid and Social
Security — in order to pay for trillions in tax cuts for the ultra
wealthy! It’s sick.
Protests are popping up in D.C. and across the country. Our movement is
mounting a massive opposition to this brazen corporate coup. [ [link removed] ]Get your

Trump is unleashing vicious attacks on crucial social programs, vulnerable
communities, our very democracy, and the planet. It can feel overwhelming,
but we are not powerless — and we are not alone.
Our Revolution is building out our Citizen Action Team — our growing
grassroots army with networks in Washington, D.C. and every congressional
district in the country.
The team met on Thursday for our first first strategy and training
session, and we’re already planning actions and developing tools to fight
back against Trump and the Oligarchs.
There will be opportunities to leverage our movement in the upcoming
budget and tax fights in Congress — as well as influence the Democratic
Party to present a unified opposition.
Now is the time we need every person of conscience to get involved —
there’s something everyone can do to help, big or small. [ [link removed] ]Sign up to be
part of the Citizen Action Team, and we’ll loop you in on our next
meeting!

Trump has forged an unholy alliance between Big Oil and Big Tech to ravage
our planet — but we are not powerless.
This week, we kicked off actions with our [ [link removed] ]LIVE Climate Town Hall Monday
night — zeroing in on the legislative and budget fights ahead where we’ll
have leverage to fight the worst of Trump and the Oil Oligarchs’ agenda.
Our coalition is joining forces to block Trump’s money pipeline to Big
Oil. Leading climate organizers joined the call like Aru Shiney-Ajay of
Sunrise Movement, Erich Pica of Friends of the Earth, and Jaime Minden of
Zero Hour.
While we go on the offense, we’ll also stand with Greenpeace USA as they
defend free speech and the right to dissent. Tim Donaghy said Greenpeace
will share weekly videos of their trial, starting Feb. 24th, as they
battle a lawsuit trying to silence activism and opposition.

The strategy: Target the budget reconciliation process in March with a
demand to end fossil fuel subsidies. “We can’t keep drinking out of the
firehose,” said Our Revolution leader Joseph Geevarghese.
We have a chance to strike a blow against the oil and gas industry and
also hit oil executives in a way that undermines Trump’s entire platform.
But, we’ll need Democrats to hold the line. Read more in [ [link removed] ]The New
Republic.
On Wednesday, we [ [link removed] ]Rallied on Capitol Hill with Bernie Sanders, Ilhan
Omar and our Coalition to End Polluter Handouts to launch a fight to stop
our tax dollars from funding climate destruction.
People are experiencing the devastation of climate change right now. As
Bernie said: “If we don’t cut carbon emissions and stop giving polluters
huge tax breaks and corporate welfare, the planet we will be leaving
future generations will be less and less habitable.
Our event attracted a lot of press to get our message out and also
featured powerful testimony by climate allies like Sens. Ed Markey and
Chris Van Hollen, Robert Weissman of Public Citizen, Rev. Lennox Yearwood
of the Hip Hop Caucus.

As the Trump Administration attacks clean energy and environmental
programs, community-owned clean energy projects are more important than
ever.
When we organize, we can fight to protect the good green jobs, cleaner
air, and lower energy costs created by Direct Pay and other programs from
Biden’s Inflation Reduction Act.
This week, the Congressional Progressive Caucus Center joined Organized
Power in Numbers to release a new report — [ [link removed] ]Building Equity with Direct
Pay: Seizing the Moment for Racial Justice, Community Ownership, and
Worker Power.
This report shares success stories from the first two years of
implementation and what has been learned — including the importance of
investing in organizing, technical assistance, centering workers and
racial justice, and filling the gap on financing.

BEATING BACK THE PARTY ELITE
To defeat Trump and the Oligarchs, we need a true Opposition Party that
isn’t bought by the billionaires.
That’s why Our Revolution organized to beat back the Political
Establishment - and its billionaire backers - to help elect Ken Martin as
the new chair of the Democratic National Committee.
Ken - chair of the Minnesota state party - defeated his main rival who was
backed by Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer, and bankrolled by billionaires
like Reid Hoffman and ‘liberal’ dark money groups.
We hosted the only grassroots DNC Candidate Forum of the race, flooded the
voting members with calls, and rallied in-person at the DNC Election — and
it worked. Our voices were heard, but we have more work to do to steer the
Democratic Party away from corporate control and recenter the working
class.
[ [link removed] ]Our Revolution is one of the only grassroots political groups doing
this work inside the party. Can you chip in to help us keep up the
pressure for change?
★ ★ ★
And, we have to keep up the pressure on elected Democrats to HOLD THE
LINE. This week, Senate Dems voted in lockstep against Robert F. Kennedy
Jr., Tulsi Gabbard, and other Trump nominees. But that hasn’t been the
case in recent weeks!
It was totally unacceptable that Democratic Senators like John Fetterman,
Kirsten Gillibrand, and others voted YES on dangerous, far-right nominees
like Marco Rubio for State Department, fracking CEO Chris Wright for
Department of Energy, and more.
We are organizing citizens across our Republic to stand up to Trump’s
corrupt regime, and we’re demanding a unified opposition from the
Democratic leaders.
Collaboration is unacceptable. We must stand united to stop the slide into
authoritarian capitalism. Add your name at the link below, we’ll deliver
the message straight to Senate offices and keep up the temperature with a
flood of calls into the Senate.
[ [link removed] ]TELL YOUR SENATORS TO REJECT TRUMP NOMINEES

With our impact on the direction of new DNC leadership, we now have a
foothold to push for real change in the party.
So far, more than 10,000 grassroots volunteers, donors and local leaders
have signed on demanding these necessary reforms. It’s time for the
Democratic Party to reject corporate money, increase transparency and
rebuild a multiracial, working-class base. Let’s get to work!

NEW ENDORSEMENT!
Our first endorsement of 2025, Our Revolution is proud to support Aisha
Braveboy in a special election March 4th for County Executive in Prince
George's County, Maryland.
This is a big year for down-ballot elections — and we need candidates like
Aisha who will help make our communities more resilient under Trump and
our state and local governments more responsive to We the People.
Aisha has been a champion of raising the minimum wage, criminal justice
reform, and preserving our environment. As State’s Attorney for Prince
George’s County, Braveboy ended cash bail and created the state’s first
conviction integrity review unit — which led to the release of seven
people sentenced to life as juveniles.

Oligarchy is no longer at the gate, it’s busting through the door — and we
need our movement to be activated. Our Citizen Action Team is 30,000
strong and growing, and we’re organizing in every Congressional district
in the country.
This means getting in the streets, showing up in Senate offices, raising
the pressure through media and targeted actions, and mounting a public
show of force that cannot be ignored.
[ [link removed] ]JOIN OUR CITIZEN ACTION TEAM!
★ ★ ★
We’re mobilizing a Citizen Army of grassroots activists to fight back
against Trump and the Oligarchs, seizing the reins of the Democratic
Party, and electing the next generation in hundreds of down-ballot races
across the country.
We have a 3-point plan to Defeat Trump & the Oligarchs, Transform the
Democratic Party, and Elect Progressives up and down the ballot in 2025.
[ [link removed] ]It’s up to us to create a well-organized and effective opposition to
the Trump regime. We are not powerless in this moment, but we need your
help! Please pitch in a donation to help fund our fightback.
