our national grassroots organizing network!

NEWS & ENDORSEMENTS BELOW!

Join us on Monday, July 27th at 8.30 p.m. ET for our weekly
Organize to Win Leaders Call with Nebraska Democratic Party Chair
Jane Kleeb and Our Revolution Board Chair Larry Cohen for an
important discussion on “Building a Progressive Democratic
Party.” Ahead of the DNC, we are fighting to pass a critical
resolution
( [link removed] )
to preserve the 2020 rules reforms we won to limit the role of
superdelegates in picking the presidential nominee. We’re also
focused on winning new state and local level party reforms to
help elect even more progressive champions!

JOIN THE CALL & HELP US TRANSFORM THE PARTY!

We only have 101 days until Election Day. Here is where we are:
secret police are in the streets, COVID-19 misinformation is
rampant, tens of millions have lost their jobs (and health care),
and Trump is behaving like an aspiring dictator.

Rush a donation now to stop fascism in America before it’s too
late and help us invest in progressive candidates fighting for a
future where health care is a human right!

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.

★ ★ ★

Our Revolution executive director Joseph Geevarghese spoke with
the NYT on how our movement is transforming the Democratic Party
and holding Biden accountable to progressive policy priorities.
“There is improvement in the climate crisis and criminal justice
sections of the platform, compared to Biden’s previous positions
on the subject. There should be no doubt that this is a direct
result of outside pressure at this moment.”

All across America, Our Revolution is electing the next wave of
progressive champions up and down the ballot.

Last week’s Monday Night Organize to Win Leaders' Call featured
Janeese Lewis George, a former prosecutor who unseated an
establishment incumbent in her primary for DC Council Ward 4 with
the support of Our Revolution DC. Janeese spoke about the current
budget battles raging in DC — and many other cities. “DC has
billions of dollars in reserves. We have the funds to take care
of the most vulnerable in our community. It's not about having
the money, it's about having the political will to get it done.”

Our Revolution Missouri’s July Organizing Meeting
( [link removed] )
featured Cori Bush, our nationally endorsed candidate for
Congress in Missouri's 1st district. “As a Black Lives Matter
activist in Ferguson, I know firsthand that people don’t feel
like their needs are being met. I’m one of those people who is
tired of a Congress that isn’t serving the people. It’s time to
take our government back.“

Our Revolution Minnesota’s July Organizing Meeting
( [link removed] )
featured two progressive champions who are running in the
August 11 primary. Omar Fateh, our state senate pick in district
62, said “We need to keep electing real progressives to make real
meaningful change. People want someone to vote for that actually
speaks to their struggles.” AK Hassan, candidate for Minneapolis
City Council ward 6, talked about replacing the police force with
a new Department of Community Safety and Violence Prevention.
“Defunding MPD and reimagining public safety is my top priority.
In the wake of George Floyd’s murder, we would be negligent if we
do not heed the call for change from the community.”

Our Revolution Oregon’s July Organizing Meeting
( [link removed] )
included a report from local leader Bim Ditson on the Portland
protests. Bim spoke about the Wall of Moms, a group of Portland
mothers who have been positioning themselves on the front lines.
“It’s a pretty moving thing to see our people organize,
especially in the midst of tear gas and rubber bullets. I’m proud
Our Revolution is part of this broad coalition that is calling
for systemic change and defunding the police.”

VICTORY! Our Revolution Monmouth, NJ members organized to get
the borough of Red Bank to pass a resolution calling its
Congressional delegation to support passage of the Medicare for
All Act. “As Our Revolution Monmouth activists, we are very
pleased that the Red Bank Council approved the resolution that
calls for affordable, comprehensive healthcare for everyone,”
said Charlie and Judi Pack. To date, Our Revolution HQ has worked
in coalition with Public Citizen
( [link removed] ) and other progressive
organizations to win Medicare for All resolutions in 39 local
jurisdictions nationwide.

Our Wisconsin Revolution is leading a campaign to extend a
utilities shut-off moratorium during the economic crisis. During
the Wisconsin Organizing Meeting
( [link removed] ), OWR
Executive Director Mike McCabe said that “People need to be able
to wash their hands, cook at home, and use the internet to
educate their kids. How can they do that if they can't pay their
bills because they are unemployed through no fault of their own?”
OWR also announced 13 endorsements in local races, including
Kriss Marion and Emily Voight for State Assembly.

Our Revolution Montana is leading a campaign for the Green New
Deal in their state. The July Organizing Meeting
( [link removed] )
featured climate expert Dave Carlson and State Rep. Tom Woods,
who’s running for a seat on the Montana Public Service Commission
which regulates the state’s energy utility and sets environmental
policy. “For far too long, our commission has been a rubber stamp
for bad planning. It’s got to stop — we have to start planning
for a better energy future.”

As local and state governments face major revenue shortfalls due
to the pandemic and economic collapse, Frank Clemente of
Americans for Tax Fairness joined our Monday Leaders Call to talk
about the urgent need for the rich to pay their fair share in
taxes. “During the last 3 months, as ordinary Americans suffered
through the pandemic, America’s 600 billionaires got $700 billion
richer. The millionaires and the billionaires have the money to
make sure that programs to address the needs of workers,
families, the unemployed are saved and expanded, not cut.”

In this moment of crisis, Our Revolution HQ is doubling down on
building a national network of grassroots powerhouses fighting to
win progressive policies, elect progressive candidates, and
transform the Democratic Party.

★ ★ ★

This election cycle, 62% of our endorsed candidates WON their
races up and down the ballot - our highest win rate ever! Our
victories against the establishment prove that deep grassroots
organizing works - to date, we’ve made more than 500,000

Our Revolution Maryland Chair Bob Muehlenkamp wrote a reflection
about Our Revolution Maryland’s recent state leadership meeting
on planning for the 2020 presidential election. In the wake of
the George Floyd protests, many chapter leaders most vehemently
opposed to Biden said they had changed their minds - “We have to
get Trump out. Period.”
