Hi friends,

My name is Lucero Mesa, and I am a Bernie delegate and Our Revolution national board member from South Carolina.

I HEARD DISTURBING NEWS YESTERDAY WHEN I LEARNED THAT THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY REVERSED ITS COMMITMENT TO ELIMINATE FOSSIL FUEL SUBSIDIES IN THE PARTY PLATFORM.

They are saying that including the language was an error, but it certainly makes me feel reinforced in my decision to join with Our Revolution members to vote no on the platform to protest the failure to include Medicare for All.

We won on Superdelegates, but the health insurance industry got their way on Medicare for All, and fossil fuel companies won on subsidies. Pitch in here to help Our Revolution continue to lead the way organizing to make the Democratic Party work for American voters, not corporate power. ([link removed])

I’m proud to stand with my fellow Our Revolution progressives at the DNC to demand that the commitment to end fossil fuel subsidies be immediately restored by the DNC.

We were able to make that demand because we have done the work to understand Party rules and get in a position where we can have a voice on the platform. Without this critical work, there would be nobody on the inside to prevent corporate power from influencing our legislative roadmap.

TO BE CLEAR, WE AGREE THAT DONALD TRUMP IS AN AUTHORITARIAN WHO POSES AN EXISTENTIAL THREAT TO THE SURVIVAL OF AMERICAN DEMOCRACY. WE HAVE TO DO EVERYTHING WE CAN TO BEAT HIM.

BUT THAT DOESN’T MEAN WE ARE GOING TO JUST ACCEPT THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY CAVING TO FOSSIL FUEL COMPANIES INSTEAD OF LISTENING TO SCIENTISTS.

Pitch in what you can here to help us put pressure on Tom Perez and the Democratic Party to side with the people instead of big oil. ([link removed])
