Tyranny is rising in America. Trump’s taking over our cities, silencing dissent, and targeting his "enemies"- including immigrants, workers, and activists.
“Trump’s federal takeover is more than an abuse of power — it’s a deliberate merger of authoritarianism and oligarchy,” Our Revolution executive director Joseph Geevarghese wrote in an op-ed in The Hill.
|
Big Tech funded Trump’s return to power, and now his administration is funneling billions of our tax dollars to build a Big Brother state, put troops in our streets, and fund cruel detention centers and deportation flights.
It can all feel dystopian. But Our Revolution REFUSES to sit on the sidelines. We’re Fighting Oligarchy by exposing the corruption, unleashing pressure campaigns in the halls of Congress, and deploying our volunteer-led Citizen Action Teams across the country.
|
Our activists have protested Crypto Oligarchs at the Trump Golf Course and led nationwide actions against Trump's Police State Oligarchs like Palantir and Avelo Airlines. And, we just passed a resolution to start getting Big Money - like AIPAC and CRYPTO - out of the Democratic presidential primary in 2028. We don’t have time to waste. That’s why Our Revolution is focused on building grassroots power to Fight Trump & the Oligarchs with our targeted 3 Point Strategy: |
- Fight Trump’s Oligarch Agenda - from Capitol Hill to City Halls
-
Elect Anti-Oligarch Champions up and down the ballot
- Get Oligarch Money out of Politics and uplift the grassroots

THE PEOPLE VS BIG BROTHER |
With nationwide protests from DC to NYC to Seattle, Our Revolution is sounding the alarm: Big Tech is cashing in on Trump’s surveillance state — using our tax dollars to spy on us all. |
“These tech giants poured millions into Trump’s campaign. Now they are reaping billion-dollar federal contracts in return,” Our Revolution’s Joseph Geevarghese wrote in The Hill. “This is the modern security state: Big Tech serving the political ambitions of an authoritarian president.”
|
At the center is Palantir, billionaire Peter Thiel’s Big Brother machine. Palantir powers ICE raids, predictive policing, and even military targeting — all while raking in billions in federal contracts.
We refuse to bankroll Trump’s tech cronies to spy on our communities—and we’re fighting back. Add your name to tell Congress to halt federal funding for Palantir and put people’s privacy above corporate profits. |
Avelo Airlines took a $150M contract to run ICE deportation flights — turning our airports into launchpads for tearing families apart. Public outcry followed — protests, billboards, and pressure campaigns — and it’s working. Our Revolution San Fernando Valley activists helped ground Avelo’s flights in Burbank, California and up the West Coast. |
Now our activists in Maryland are turning up the heat. At Baltimore-Washington International (BWI), a state-owned airport, Gov. Wes Moore and state officials have the power to block Avelo and stand with immigrant families or let our tax dollars bankroll Trump’s deportation machine.
If you're near Hanover, MD, RSVP here to join us this Sunday to demand Gov. Wes Moore cut BWI’s ties with Trump’s deportation machine. Or click here to sign the petition if you live in Maryland!

MAINE ACT: BERNIE & TROY! |
This Labor Day weekend, Bernie is making a special stop in Portland, Maine to rally alongside Our Revolution-endorsed Troy Jackson — logger, union leader, and working-class champion for Governor — and Senate candidate Graham Platner — oyster farmer, Marine veteran, and bold challenger to Susan Collins.
It’s time to start scaling up for 2026, fight back against the billionaire class, and win real power for working people. |
Wow. Andrew Cuomo just told donors at a Hamptons fundraiser that he’s ready to work with Trump to try to beat Zohran Mamdani in the NYC mayor’s race.
The establishment is terrified of Mamdani because he is fighting for policies that serve US — not the donor class. Even Democratic leaders like Hakeem Jeffries are refusing to unite behind him as the Democratic nominee. |
In the primary, Our Revolution organizers made over 60,000 calls and texts for Zohran. Our volunteers hit all 5 boroughs — joined by former US Rep. Jamaal Bowman to canvass voters in subways and key battleground districts. Now, we’ve got just a few short weeks to mobilize the troops and go even BIGGER. We’ll have boots on the ground across the City, but we’re also firing up our phone bank operation. |
And, Mamdani is not alone. Our Revolution is amassing a wave of progressive champions for the 2026 Midterms — and we’re ramping up NOW to out-organize Big Money.
At our recent Fight Oligarchy Town Hall, more than 50,000 activists came together to strategize with congressional candidates, Donavan McKinney (MI-13) and Robert Peters (IL-02), and Troy Jackson for Maine Governor.
We’ll be rolling out lots MORE endorsements — from Congress to City Council — including working class champions like Drew Duncan:
|
Our Revolution is proud to support Drew Duncan for Kalamazoo City Commission.
Drew doesn’t just talk progressive change — he’s delivering it. As a local Our Revolution member, organizer, and community leader, Drew has been at the forefront of the fight for affordable housing, green energy, and investment in underserved communities.
This is what Our Revolution was built for: electing bold progressives at every level of government who will challenge the status quo and put people over profit. Let’s show what grassroots power can do in Kalamazoo. |

VICTORY! We just won a major milestone in the fight to get Big Money out of politics. The DNC voted Wednesday to finally crack down on dark money in presidential primaries.
“Blocking corporate money in the nominating process and blocking dark money — those are two great steps,” Our Rev Chair Larry Cohen told Common Dreams.
|
“New progressive candidates have been blocked by the onslaught of money from crypto, fossil fuel and an endless parade of corporate spending, as well as AIPAC and other right-wing groups and Republican billionaires,” Our Revolution Chair Larry Cohen wrote in an op-ed in
The Nation.
“This resolution is about putting power back where it belongs — in the hands of voters, not corporate elites,” said Our Revolution leader Joseph Geevarghese. “This victory belongs to the grassroots.”
|
This comes after 10 years organizing, electing progressives into the party structure, and keeping up grassroots pressure — we delivered 13,000+ petitions just this week to the DNC. Now the hard work begins: making sure these reforms are enforced for 2028 and beyond. For too long, Super PACs and billionaires have drowned out grassroots voices.
Our Revolution will keep leading the charge to get AIPAC, crypto, and other dark money out of the party — and we won’t stop until primaries belong to the people. Donate $5, $10, or $27 to fuel the next phase of this fight.
|
Going into the 2026 mid-terms and the 2028 presidential race, we need to make sure candidates embrace a progressive agenda that connects with voters and will deliver for poor and working people in office.
“Harris lost because she did not embrace an economic populist message. The electorate is angry about their standard of living declining and about the elites controlling D.C. and enriching themselves,” Our Revolution’s Joseph Geevarghese told the LA Times. |
To that end, we’re asking Our Revolution supporters like you to help us shape our candidate endorsement process. Take our Candidate Priorities Survey to weigh in on what YOU want to see them run on to WIN in the Midterms. |
