James,
In the latest Our Revolution survey, this movement made itself crystal clear: Defunding the oligarchs and getting billionaire money out of politics MUST be our top priorities.
As we lean into those fights, the next challenge is making sure we elect bold, progressive leaders who are as committed to stopping the oligarchy as we are. Which is why Our Revolution is launching a massive grassroots survey to help us influence the platform that candidates adopt as they run for office – and what they actually do once they win.
Our plan is to take the results straight to Members of Congress and the candidates Our Revolution will be backing in 2026 to show them where our movement wants them to focus their time and energy. Can you take a quick minute to tell us what you think?
Here’s the first question:
How important is it to you that candidates take bold action against the oligarchs?
80% of Americans agree – it’s time for big, substantive change, not the empty gestures Wall Street and Big Tech lobbyists love.
Our Revolution is working around the clock to do just that by taking down the oligarchy. Every single day we’re pushing to get billionaire money out of elections, cancel federal contracts for oligarchs, end tax breaks for the ultra-wealthy, crack down on crypto crooks, and shut down the billionaire-backed surveillance state.
But we ALSO need commitments from candidates running for office that they’ll follow through and actually use their power and resources to stop billionaires and the ultra-wealthy from buying our elections and gaming our political system for their own gain.
Right now, we have the chance to make “Defund the Oligarchs” the rallying cry of the midterms and beyond. And your survey responses will *directly* tell candidates what’s non-negotiable. But for this to work, your input is crucial.
Candidates look to us for direction. So together we can make sure they’re fighting for US – not the oligarchs. Can you take 3 minutes right now to fill out our survey and tell us what you want candidates to prioritize? We’ll take the findings straight to candidates and make their commitment a criteria for our endorsement!
When we organize, we win.
Team Our Revolution
