Our Revolution California led the charge to make sure progressives have a voice at the Democratic National Convention. Because of their organizing, Bernie 2020 Co-Chair Ro Khanna and US Rep. Barbara Lee will lead the powerful California delegation instead of the governor.
At last week’s California State Organizing Meeting, Rep. Khanna pledged to uphold the progressive values that the delegates who elected him espouse. “We are going to push for as progressive a platform as we can get.”

The Democratic party must lead the way on bold climate solutions. That’s why we’re asking you to call on the DNC to adopt the platform recommendations of the DNC’s own Environment and Climate Crisis Council. “This is good policy, and it’s good politics — voters want elected officials to take more action,” said Michele Deatrick, leader of Our Revolution Michigan and chair of the council.
