James,
2026 has arrived – and so has our chance to take back power, defeat Trump and his billionaire backers, and restore our democracy.
But to win, this movement has told us time and time again that the first thing we need to do is confront the core rot in our politics: the oligarchs and corporate elites who have flooded our elections with dark money, bought politicians on both sides, and rigged the system to line their own pockets.
As we lean into the fight to take on Trump and his oligarchs and get dark and corporate money out of our politics, Our Revolution is launching a massive grassroots survey to guide our work and show elected officials and the media what issues are most activating and energizing our base. Can you take a quick minute to tell us what you think?
Here’s the first question:
How concerned are you about the Oligarchy – as a threat to democracy, as damaging to Americans’ economic wellbeing, and as a force of corruption politically, socially and economically?
Survey after survey – including an independent academic study of Our Revolution supporters – show that an overwhelming majority of us believe that defunding the oligarchs and getting billionaire money out of politics MUST be our top priorities – and that we must only back candidates who are willing to take bold action against oligarchs.
This movement is crystal clear: without leaders willing to break the billionaire stranglehold, we can’t achieve Medicare for All, living wages, or climate justice.
That’s why Our Revolution is working around the clock to take down the oligarchy. Every single day we’re pushing to get billionaire money out of elections, cancel federal contracts for oligarchs, end tax breaks for the ultra-wealthy, crack down on crypto crooks, and shut down the billionaire-backed surveillance state.
Because we know it’s not enough to oppose Trump – we must cut off the billionaires feeding his movement. If we don’t, the same handful of billionaires will control both parties – our futures, our planet, and every progressive priority we fight for. But if millions of us stand up together, we can make unprecedented demands and make 2026 the year we break the oligarchs’ hold on our democracy.
That’s why we need to hear from you again. The media, party insiders, and potential candidates are all watching. Let’s show them where the energy is: will you take our quick survey now and tell us what you think?
When we organize, we win,
Our Revolution
