PEOPLE POWER
Right now, Congress is racing to ram through a budget that will kick
millions of people off of Medicaid and SNAP – while funneling
trillions of taxpayer dollars to billionaires and military
contractors.
Our massive grassroots army is joining Bernie, AOC, and other
progressive leaders in Congress and in the streets to pressure a
handful of vulnerable Republicans to vote against Trump’s disastrous
budget bill — and it’s working. A dozen lawmakers have started to
backtrack, we can’t let up now!

Our collective action is making an impact — and now is the time to
rally our movement and ramp up our fight.

[3]Fight Trump & The Oligarchs
★ ★ ★
US Senators Elizabeth Warren and Jeff Merkley joined our [ [link removed] ]LIVE Town
Hall Monday to break down Trump's crypto corruption — and how we can
actually stop it.
Big Tech Oligarchs spent over $200 million to elect Trump and now
he’s paying them back.
An industry-written crypto bill — the “GENIUS Act” — is moving
through Congress, and Democrats must stand together to block it
unless the bill includes Merkley’s End Crypto Corruption Act to stop
politicians from profiting off crypto deals.
★ ★ ★
The GENIUS Act would open the floodgates to untraceable crypto
donations, deregulate stablecoins, and allow elected
officials—including Trump himself—to personally profit from crypto
ventures.
Warren laid out how Trump is selling his crypto coins directly to
foreign governments, and getting rich off transactions and
interest-free loans. “This is not some small grift on the side.
Trump’s stablecoin is now the fifth largest in the world,” she said.
★ ★ ★
Merkley echoed the alarm: “This is about the direct corruption of
our elected officials.”
He said Trump could see $80 million a year from the United Arab
Emirates buying his crypto coins as part of a $2B deal. "They are
very clearly seeking influence for a result: They want
microprocessors for AI.”
★ ★ ★
Any version of the so-called 'GENIUS' Act must include Sen. Merkley’s
measure to block politicians (like Trump!) from profiting off crypto
schemes.
This is more than just about crypto — it’s about taking a stand
against the billionaire takeover of our government. [ [link removed] ]Sign the
petition and stop the crypto power grab!

BERNIE VS TRUMP ON DRUG PRICES
Trump loves to talk big about lowering prescription drug prices,
signing an executive order this week claiming he'd finally stand up
to Big Pharma. Bernie is calling his bluff:
“If Trump is serious about making real change rather than just
issuing a press release, he will support legislation I will soon be
introducing to make sure we pay no more for prescription drugs than
people in other major countries.”
[ [link removed] ]Add your name and join Bernie in issuing a challenge to Trump and
Republicans in Congress: if you’re serious about lowering drug
prices, pass Bernie’s bill to make it happen!
★ ★ ★
CONFRONTING COWARDLY CONGRESSMEN
Trump and his billionaire backers are trying to push through a budget
that would slash Medicaid in order to pay for massive tax cuts for
the wealthy.
We’re keeping the heat on GOP Reps, with our activists directly
confronting many of them in the halls of Congress. When we
encountered Rep. [ [link removed] ]Rich McCormick (GA-7), he literally RAN up three
flights of steps to avoid accountability for his support for
TRILLIONS to the Pentagon and wealthy billionaires at the expense of
healthcare and essential programs.
These Republicans are getting nervous – and our direct organizing
paired with Bernie’s rallies in key red districts turned up the heat
— leading 12 GOP Congress members to publicly denounce the Medicaid
cuts.
The fight to pick off wavering Republicans continues — and we’re
making sure they understand the backlash coming for them if they vote
to cut Medicaid, SNAP, and Social Security in order to give billions
more to the Pentagon and to wealthy tax cuts.

From massive Hands Off protests and May Day actions to another wave
of record-breaking Bernie Rallies — our movement is rising up
nationwide to say NO to Trump and Oligarchy.
Last week, we [ [link removed] ]protested at the Federalist Society — the judicial
arm of the American oligarchy, funded by megadonors to reshape the
courts in service of corporate power and elite privilege. “No more
judges for billionaires! No more courts for corporations!”
Our activists and volunteers are on the phones and amassing petitions
and showing up on Capitol Hill to pressure members of Congress. We’re
even lighting up oligarch’s mansions with projectors — like Trump’s
Treasury Secretary [ [link removed] ]Scott Bessent.

and train more activists coast to coast!

NO KINGS DAY OF DEFIANCE
[ [link removed] ]GET YOUR RALLY SIGN HERE
Mark your calendars for the next MASSIVE nationwide protest! Our
Revolution activists are organizing dozens of actions for No Kings
Day of Defiance on June 14th — Trump’s birthday and the same day he’s
planning to celebrate himself with an authoritarian military parade
through Washington D.C.
We will be showing up in force from cities to small towns — from
Philly and Los Angeles to Bowie, MD and Steamboat Springs, CO — we
will be all across the nation, demonstrating the strength of the
opposition against Trump and his regime.

NEW ENDORSEMENTS
Our Revolution is proudly supporting Larry Krasner for Philadelphia
District Attorney in the Democratic primary this Tuesday!
Krasner's commitment to ending mass incarceration, abolishing cash
bail, and tackling corruption sets a national standard. His
leadership has transformed Philly's justice system:
- Exonerated nearly 50 wrongfully convicted, restoring justice and
faith in our legal system.
- Reduced the juvenile incarceration rate by 70%, focusing on
rehabilitation over punishment.
- Cut future incarceration days by half, saving taxpayers millions
and reuniting families.
In the face of right-wing attacks and misinformation, Krasner stands
firm — let's continue the fight for a just and equitable
Philadelphia and get him in the DA’s seat in Philly! [ [link removed] ]Donate to
help us get out the vote in these final days.

We support Joshua Cole for re-election to Virginia’s House of
Delegates, where he has stood out as a progressive leader,
championing policies that prioritize working families and social
justice.
Joshua has been a strong advocate for affordable healthcare, raising
wages, and tuition-free community college. And, he has consistently
fought for reproductive rights and equitable investments in public
education, infrastructure, and economic opportunities.
Election Day is June 17th!

For the June 24th New York City Council race in District 7, we are
happy to endorse Edafe Okporo — who brings a powerful personal story
and a bold vision for justice and equity.
A formerly detained asylum seeker and LGBTQ+ refugee from Nigeria, he
founded the RDJ Refugee Shelter in Harlem and now leads Refuge
America — both dedicated to supporting marginalized immigrants.
His campaign centers on expanding affordable housing, safeguarding
public healthcare, defending LGBTQ+ rights, and challenging the
influence of real estate developers and austerity-driven politics in
City Hall.

Texas Victories
TEXAS SWEEP! All 4 of our candidates were victorious in key City
Council races! We’re proud to support grassroots leaders who are
organizing in their communities, not cozying up to corporate donors:
First up — Laura Cadena won a City Council seat in Dallas. After
serving in City Hall for eight years, she understands how local
government can work hand-in-hand with the community.
From cost of living and affordable housing to climate action and
sustainability, Laura is a champion on the issues that matter most.
Also in Dallas, Adam Bazaldua won re-election to city council in
District 7.
Adam chaired the Dallas Green Alliance before being elected in 2019.
He has served on committees for the environment, workforce education,
and economic development, and has brought bold leadership to City
Hall as Deputy Mayor Pro Tem.
★ ★ ★
In Fort Worth, Chris Nettles was re-elected to City Council in
District 8.
Chris knows local government must meet the needs of Fort Worth’s
growing population. He is working to expand public transportation,
increase affordable housing, grow good-paying jobs, and help the
houseless population in Fort Worth.
★ ★ ★
In San Antonio, Councilwoman Teri Castillo was victorious in her bid
for re-election!
A community organizer and fierce advocate for housing, climate, and
public investment, Teri has delivered historic wins for District 5
