Dear Friend - 

As Board Chair of Our Revolution, I wanted to personally reach out to
you in these difficult times and express our solidarity.  Thank you
for being with us in this fight against Trump & the Oligarchs.  I
hope you’ll take a moment to read how our organizers are working in
their local communities everyday to defend our democracy from
corruption.

FIGHTING BACK


Trump is escalating his authoritarian rhetoric and tactics, and we’re
reaching a turning point.

 

He’s declared war on the “enemy within,” directing military leaders
to use OUR cities as “training grounds.” He’s cracked down on our
freedom of speech by seizing control of the mainstream media to turn
it into his own propaganda machine. He’s signing memos authorizing
the FBI to come after his political opponents – including us.

 

The list goes on. And on. And on.

 

“What we’re seeing is a deliberate merger of authoritarianism and
oligarchy,” said Our Revolution executive director Joseph Geevarghese
wrote in an op-ed in [ [link removed] ]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.

 

As Democrats in Congress use their leverage to shut down Trump’s
corrupt government, Our Revolution is mobilizing our nationwide
movement to Fight Trump & the Oligarchs at every turn. 

 

We are exposing the corruption, unleashing pressure campaigns in the
halls of Congress, and deploying our volunteer-led Citizen Action
Teams in city after city.


Our activists are on the streets every week — showing up on
billionaires' doorsteps in the Hamptons, confronting oligarchs like
Peter Thiel in San Francisco, bird-dogging politicians on Capitol
Hill, and gearing up for the biggest No Kings Day yet.

 

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:

 

 1. Fight Trump’s Oligarch Agenda - from Capitol Hill to City Halls
 2. Elect Anti-Oligarch Champions up and down the ballot 
 3. Get Oligarch Money out of Politics and uplift the grassroots 

[ [link removed] ]And we’re just getting started. Chip in a donation of any amount
to help fuel this people-powered resistance.

NO KINGS, NO OLIGARCHS!


On October 18th, millions of us are rising again to show the world:
America has no kings, and the power belongs to the people. 

 

We turned out in June, showing the world that Americans are standing
up to Trump’s authoritarianism. Now, as Trump doubles down, our
nationwide coalition is mobilizing bigger than ever.

 

Our Revolution is organizing turnout for No Kings events in cities
coast to coast. Together, we’re taking to the streets to prove that
people power — not oligarchs — will decide the future of our
democracy.”

FIRE CARR - TRUMP’S CENSORSHIP CZAR


On Tuesday, Our Revolution activists confronted Trump’s censorship
czar at the FCC’s first open meeting since he pressured ABC
affiliates to pull Jimmy Kimmel Live! off the air.

 

“This was us using our free speech rights to tell Brendan Carr that
he can’t use threats as FCC chair to impinge those rights,” Our
Revolution deputy director Paco Fabián told [ [link removed] ]The Hollywood
Reporter.


Carr sat stone-faced while we chanted “Fire Carr, the censorship
czar!” — before Homeland Security officers escorted us out.   

 

Trump and his cronies won’t silence our dissent. Free speech means
the right to call out corruption, oligarchy, and authoritarianism.

EXPOSING PETER THIEL


After Our Revolution organized [ [link removed] ]nationwide protests against
Palantir, we are showing up every week to protest outside Peter
Thiel’s bizarre ‘Antichrist’ book readings in San Francisco. 

 

Peter Thiel, the Big Tech Oligarch behind Palantir, keeps cashing
taxpayer checks to build tools of surveillance and war.

It’s time to shine a light on Palantir’s shadowy operations: aiding
ICE’s real-time immigrant tracking, enabling deadly targeting in
Gaza, and using its tech to spy on us all.

★ ★ ★


From Wall Street to the Hamptons, we’re making it clear: Oligarchs
can't hide.

 

Our Revolution activists marched down Billionaires Lane — right past
the mansions of Trump and Cuomo’s oligarch donors to send a message:
the people are fighting back.


“The ultra rich should not be able to run away from the people they
are impacting with their political decisions,” Our Revolution
organizer Vincent Vertuccio told [ [link removed] ]Newsday. “We are building a
movement of people who say enough is enough, and we're willing to
disrupt business as usual.”

 

This is people power vs. oligarchy — and we’re not backing down. Our
activists are taking the fight to oligarchs’ doorsteps and our
organizers are knocking doors to get out the vote for candidates who
will challenge their power.

UNITE FOR MAMDANI!


This week, Eric Adams dropped out of the NYC race under pressure from
Trump to consolidate the field against progressive champion Zohran
Mamdani.

 

Democratic leadership should be standing behind the democratically
elected nominee — not sitting on the fence as our movement hits the
streets and phones to elect Mamdani.

That’s why Our Revolution organizers went straight to Capitol Hill to
deliver 80,000 of your signatures directly to the offices of House
Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries and Senate Minority Leader Chuck
Schumer. 


[ [link removed] ]WATCH THE VIDEO HERE!

Unions and the grassroots are lined up behind Mamdani and now our
voices need to push Schumer and Jeffries over the line to give him
their endorsement, Our Revolution organizer Liz Hohenberger told
[ [link removed] ]Washington Examiner.

 

The pressure is on and we won’t let up until we get Zohran across the
finish line to fight for affordable housing, groceries, and
transportation for New Yorkers.

HELP ELECT ZOHRAN!


Our Revolution organizers have been pounding the pavement across the
all Five Boroughs: mobilizing votes on the streets, in the subways,
and in key neighborhoods we need to win this race.

But no matter where you are in the country, you can be part of our
voter turnout operation for Zohran Mamdani. Join us to make calls to
NYC voters Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays through Election Day!

GRIJALVA VICTORY


Congratulations to Adelita Grijalva on her victory in Arizona’s 7th
District special election!

 

Not only does she carry forward the legacy of her late father, Raul
Grijalva, in this seat — but she will be a powerful new member of the
Congressional Progressive Caucus.

 

So of course MAGA Speaker Mike Johnson & GOP leaders are refusing to
swear her in — all to block Adelita from being the 218th vote forcing
release of the Epstein files.

This isn’t bureaucracy. It’s a COVER-UP. [ [link removed] ]Demand Speaker Johnson
swear in Adelita Grijalva NOW!

Our Revolution is proud to endorse Cori Bush in her campaign to take
back Missouri’s 1st Congressional District. 

 

A nurse, pastor, and activist from Ferguson, Cori has always fought
for working people with bold progressive policies like Medicare for
All, student debt cancellation, and climate justice. 

 

She was targeted and unseated by millions in dark money spending from
corporate and pro-Israel super PACs — but together, we’re mobilizing
the grassroots to reclaim MO-1 and prove once again that when we
organize, we win.

NJ SLATE


Time to get out the vote in New Jersey! Our Revolution is backing an
exciting slate in Jersey City to grow our progressive footprint in

At-Large candidates: Mamta Singh, Michael Griffin, and Roland
Lavarro; and City Council candidates: Denise Ridley in Ward A, Lorena
Loayza in Ward B; Dawn Giabalvo in Ward C; Veronica Akaezuwa in Ward
D; and Eleana Little in Ward E.

OHIO SLATE


We’re putting our endorsement behind three great candidates in
Dayton, Ohio, where progressives are building local power:

 

Shenise Turner-Sloss for Mayor, Darryl Fairchild for re-election as
City Commissioner, and Jacob Davis for City Commissioner.

PA SLATE


We have a great line up of candidates in Pennsylvania. Our Revolution
is proud to support Dylan Altemara for PA State House District 39,
Rich Forsman for Camp Hill Borough Council, Kyle McIntyre for Upper
Darby Township Council, and Nicki Williams for Judge of Elections in
District 2-1.

 

We’re also endorsing four progressives for Conestoga Valley School
District: Suze Louis, Sarah E. Kern, Melissa Clinton, and Tim Shea.

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.

GOVT SHUTDOWN SURVEY RESULTS


We asked thousands of  you — our grassroots members — what Democrats
should do during this government shutdown fight, and the results are
clear:

 

👉 98% say they support Democrats holding strong & refusing to fund
the government 

👉 76% say they want Democrats to demand more than healthcare in
negotiations


Top demands:

❌ End the grift — no more contracts enriching Trump’s cronies &
family

❌ Stop authoritarianism — get troops off the streets, protect free
speech

 

The message is simple: Fight for us, or get out of the way.
