More than 7 million of us turned out for No Kings Day — the largest protest in American history!
The world was watching and we sent a message loud and clear: the American people reject Trump, his corrupt regime, and his cruel agenda.
Trump’s authoritarianism is reaching a fever pitch as he deploys troops into city after city, terrorizes communities with ICE, and targets political opponents with lawfare.
Now is the time to turn this energy into action — which is why Our Revolution is scaling up our Citizen Action Team to organize more pressure campaigns and mobilize voter turnout for key races like Zohran Mamdani for NYC mayor.

“Trump isn’t just trying to rule like a king — he’s fusing corporate power with state power to entrench an oligarchy,” Our Revolution leader Joseph Geevarghese said in Amsterdam News. “From the shop floor to city hall, working people are organizing to reclaim our democracy.” As Trump takes healthcare and food assistance from working-class families, he’s brazenly enriching himself with crypto schemes and handing out billions to his cronies.
“We know what democracy looks like and we know what it means to fight oligarchs,” Our Revolution Chair Larry Cohen spoke to thousands at No Kings in Maryland. “The oligarchs think they can just buy everything in our country, but we’re not for sale!”

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 rallying against deportation contractors like Avelo Airlines.
We have to fight on every front. 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

Last night, Our Revolution Executive Director Joseph Geevarghese delivered closing remarks at the CSU Law Review’s 2025 Symposium: “Stress Fractures in Democracy and The People’s Response.”
He spoke powerfully about how grassroots movements are the key to defending democracy, confronting oligarchic power, and empowering ordinary people to reclaim our government.
“We’re in a struggle between citizens and oligarchs — between those who would preserve our democracy and those who would plunder it,” he said. “The verdict in Citizens v. Oligarchs will be written by what We the People choose to do next.”

Today, Our Revolution and our allies are rallying at the State House in Annapolis to demand that Governor Wes Moore stop ICE flights out of Maryland.
Avelo Airlines, which quietly signed a contract with ICE to run deportation flights, is now operating out of Maryland’s BWI Airport — turning a public facility into a launchpad for tearing families apart.
Because the airport is state-owned, Gov. Moore has the power to end this partnership, and Our Revolution is helping lead a statewide coalition to make it clear: Maryland must not be complicit in Trump’s deportation machine.
Our Revolution Executive Director Joseph Geevarghese will speak at the statewide rally — alongside partner groups with Indivisible. Sign the petition and join us in the fight. |
After Our Revolution organized nationwide protests against Palantir, we showed up every Monday for four weeks 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 Newsday.
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.

With just over a week until election day, Trump continues to meddle in the NYC mayor’s race and billionaires are pouring in cash to try to stop Zohran Mamdani — yet Democratic leaders still refuse to back their party’s nominee.
That’s why Our Revolution organizers went straight to Capitol Hill to deliver 80,000 signatures to the offices of House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer.
|
Meanwhile, our organizers will be joining Bernie Sanders, AOC, and Zohran for a massive rally that will fill up the Forest Hills Stadium in Queens tomorrow. We’ll be signing folks up to help with GOTV in this homestretch to Election Day! 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. |
Our Revolution organizers have been pounding the pavement across 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! |
Mamdani isn’t the only progressive on the ballot on Election Day November 4th. Our Revolution is backing dozens of candidates in key races across the country! |
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 the Garden State:
James Solomon is running an exciting campaign for Mayor; joined by 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.
|
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. |
We have a great line up of candidates in Pennsylvania — and just 10 days left to get out the vote!
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. |
Adelita Grijalva won a major victory in Arizona’s 7th District — carrying the legacy of her late father Rep. Raul Grijalva in the seat to become the newest member of the Congressional Progressive Caucus. But now House Speaker Mike Johnson is refusing to swear Adelita into office — all to block her from being the 218th vote forcing release of the Epstein files.
This isn’t bureaucracy. It’s a COVER-UP. Demand Speaker Johnson swear in Adelita Grijalva NOW! |

Last week, Our Revolution hosted a Live California Organizing Call with U.S. Rep Ro Khanna to rally support for Prop 50 - the Election Rigging Response Act.
Thousands of activists joined from across the state and around the country to strategize against Trump’s authoritarian agenda, organize resistance to ICE raids, and mobilize for fair elections.
Other inspiring speakers included Assemblyman Ash Kalra, actor and Burbank Councilman Konstantine Anthony, activist Alfred Twu, and labor leader Amy Scott-Slovick — lifting up the fight for workers’ rights, immigrant protections, and democracy rooted in people power — not oligarchs.
Together, we’re building the grassroots momentum to pass Prop 50 and prove that when we organize, we win.

Together, we’re building a massive nationwide coalition to fight back and prove that people power — not oligarchs — will decide the future of our democracy.
That’s why Our Revolution’s Citizen Action Team (CAT) is organizing volunteers across the country to pressure Congress, mobilize voters, and push bold progressive policies that put people before profit. |
Coming off the massive No Kings events last weekend, we want to offer up some of our crowd-favorite Defund Oligarchy Merch at a special price.
Whether it’s a new black tee-shirt or some No Kings buttons, every purchase helps support our organizers and get voters to the polls for Zohran Mamdani and progressive candidates coast to coast. |
