Our Revolution Arizona’s July Organizing Meeting
( [link removed] )
featured US Rep. Raul Grijalva, a progressive champion up for
re-election in Arizona’s August 4 primary. He credited Our
Revolution’s organizing for the progress our movement has made:
“When we talk about climate change, raising the minimum wage, or
ending institutionalized racism, we don’t have to debate it for
two hours anymore.” On the call, Our Revolution also rolled-out
national endorsements for State Sen. Martin Quezada and Maricopa
County Recorder Adrian Fontes.

This week, Our Revolution Connecticut held its first Statewide
Organizing Meeting
( [link removed] )
featuring State Senator Saud Anwar. A critical care doctor who
has been treating pandemic patients, Dr. Anwar has been endorsed
by Our Revolution HQ in his bid for reelection. At the meeting,
he talked about the dire need to support essential workers, who
are often the first to get sick and suffer in times of crisis.
“Essential workers have never been treated as essential workers,”
he said. “We have seen everything that is wrong with our society
in real time.” Senator Anwar is leading the fight in Hartford
against discriminatory housing laws that trap low-lage workers in
poverty stricken areas.

Our Revolution Vermont held its first State Organizing Meeting
( [link removed] )
and announced our first round of ORHQ endorsements ahead of the
August 11 primary. Endorsements include Vermont Lt. Gov. David
Zuckerman, who is running for governor, as well as State Sen.
Chris Pearson, State Rep. Mari Cordes, and State Rep. Emilie
Kornheiser, who are running for re-election. Zuckerman joined the
call to talk about how his experience as a farmer helps him to
reach voters in Vermont’s rural areas. “Rural areas have really
struggled, so a progressive message resonates. When you get out
there and talk to working people about the struggles they’re
facing and how the system has really not helped them, that
resonates. A lot of rural areas feel forgotten.”

Our Revolution Colorado’s July Organizing Meeting
( [link removed] )

JD-1 (Jefferson and Gilpin Counties). On the call, King pledged
to review wrongful convictions and promote racial justice
throughout the criminal justice system.

win transformative policies — from criminal justice reform to
health care for all — at every level of government.

Following the submission of the Biden-Sanders Unity Task Force
recommendations to the DNC’s platform committee, Our Revolution
HQ hosted a call with Rep. Pramila Jayapal and UMass-Amherst
Prof. Robert Pollin to discuss what’s next for the movement to
win Medicare for All. Rep. Jayapal emphasized her unwavering
support for Medicare for All at the national level, and
encouraged activists to continue to support candidates up and
down the ballot who endorse universal health care. Professor
Pollin made the economic case for Medicare for All. You can watch
the conversation here.

We’re in a moment of national reckoning amid continuing state
violence against communities of color at home and abroad, record
job loss, and a re-surging coronavirus pandemic. Yet, despite
these domestic problems, Congress continues to increase the
Pentagon budget. The Congressional Progressive Caucus, Sen.
Bernie Sanders and Sen. Ed Markey - are leading an effort to
redirect 10 percent of the Pentagon's budget to invest in
communities experiencing high poverty rates.

Our Revolution Executive Director Joseph Geevarghese joined with
Americans for Tax Fairness
( [link removed] )
, Rep. Lloyd Doggett (D-TX), and Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI)
to call on the Senate to pass the Heroes Act and fund essential
services by making sure the rich pay their fair share. A new
study by ATF shows that billionaires grew $600 billion richer
during the pandemic while state governments face severe revenue
shortfalls.

Our Revolution’s Illinois State Organizing Meeting
( [link removed] )
featured Rep. Robin Kelly who talked about the George Floyd
Justice in Policing Act, a wide-ranging bill that attempts to
hold law enforcement accountable, which has passed in the House
but is stalled in the Senate. “This is a bill that should have
been passed years ago,” said Rep. Kelly. “I hope and pray that
the time of change has arrived. That this is not a moment, this
is a movement.”

All across America, Our Revolution is fighting to transform the
Democratic Party into a party that represents all of us - not
just the wealthy few.

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 Michelle Deatrick, leader of Our Revolution Michigan and
chair of the council.
