We laid-out our 4 point plan to fight for a progressivefuture, through election day and beyond. We must beat Trump ( [link removed] ) by organizing to win back working class voters in the Midwest;We need to elect more progressives to Congress ( [link removed] ) and flip - and fix - the Senate; We need to build a down-ballotbench ( [link removed] ) to win progressive policies locally that can be modelsnationally; and we need to organize a powerful movement ( [link removed] ) to fight for change both inside the halls of power and outsideon the streets.READ MORE ABOUT OUR 4 POINT PLAN BELOW!★ ★ ★#1 - We must go all-out to defeat Donald Trump by winning backthe working class in the Midwest.★ ★ ★Last week, Our Revolution rolled-out our “Pivot County Campaign”to win back working class voters in swing areas who supportedObama-Biden in 2012 but then flipped to Trump in 2016. InNortheast Ohio, Chuckie Dennison - founder of Our RevolutionMahoning Valley and former GM Lordstown worker - plans toorganize his members to make calls and knock on doors to drivehome the message that Trump didn’t lift a finger to stop GM fromshuttering its plant and laying off 5000 workers. “This used tobe a union stronghold, but Trump won here because he said ‘autoindustry jobs are coming back.’ He lied and we’re going to holdhim accountable.”★ ★ ★Our Wisconsin Revolution is focused on flipping back 23 pivotcounties - like Kenosha County - that voted twice for Obama butswitched to Trump in 2016. On this week’s Monday Leaders Call ( [link removed] ), OWR organizer Andre Walton shared our local strategy: “Trumpis stoking the fires of the culture war because he wants todistract from his policy failures. He promised to bring backmanufacturing jobs, fix trade, give everyone healthcare. We aregoing to focus on his broken promises and show that he's a fraud.Wisconsinites will be sympathetic to that message and turn out tovote him out.”★ ★ ★PENNSYLVANIA ACTIVISTS! Join us on Tuesday, September 15th at7:30 PM ET for a strategy session on how we can organize todefeat Trump in the Keystone State. We will discuss ways to getinvolved and help dump Trump!RSVP HERE ( [link removed] ) ★ ★ ★Help Our Revolution win-back working class voters in keybattleground states! ( [link removed] )★ ★ ★#2 - We must elect more progressives to the US House & flip -and fix - the Senate to advance policies like Medicare for Alland the Green New Deal.★ ★ ★Our Revolution Massachusetts members across the country madetens of thousands of voter contacts to help Sen. Ed Markey beatJoe Kennedy in the primary! We took on the entire well-fundedcorporate establishment who lined up behind Kennedy, including arare endorsement from House Speaker Nancy Pelosi whichdemonstrated the hypocrisy of the DCCC blacklist policy. SenatorMarkey recognizes the urgency of a Green New Deal and haspartnered with AOC to support it in the Senate. His victory is abig step forward in our plan to build a progressive Congress andchange Senate rules like the filibuster that stifle ourdemocracy.★ ★ ★The Hill covered Our Revolution’s pre-election organizing callwith Sen. Markey - “A lot of times we are running insurgentcampaigns to replace Democrats who don’t deliver on values and aprogressive agenda, and sometimes we gotta protect our own,” saidOur Revolution field director Mike Oles on a call with Sen.Markey and the group’s members last week. “You are beingchallenged from the right,” he added. “We’re going to be with youevery minute. Obviously the Kennedy name is big, but thegrassroots progressive movement is bigger.”★ ★ ★Marquita Bradshaw, candidate for U.S. Senate, was the featuredspeaker on Our Revolution Tennessee’s Monthly Organizing Call ( [link removed] ). Marquita, an environmental justice organizer, beat awell-funded establishment pick in last month’s primary and is nowfocused on turning the Senate seat blue in November. “We’re herebecause of a lot of people’s hard work and commitment toorganizing. We are in this together to make sure our childrenhave a future of healthy and safe communities.”★ ★ ★Donate NOW to help us get Cori, Marie and other progressivesover the finish line in November! ( [link removed] )★ ★ ★#3 - We must build a bench of down-ballot progressives to fightfor change from the bottom up.★ ★ ★Our Revolution Ohio held its State Organizing Call ( [link removed] ) this week featuring several down ballot candidates, includingCharmaine McGuffey, who is running for Hamilton County Sheriff. A33-year veteran of the Sheriff’s department, Charmaine turnedaround a jail ranked as the worst in Ohio into the best in just 3years. “I spoke out about the wrongs I saw in our Sheriff’sdepartment, including excessive use of force. Because of mywillingness to speak out, I was fired by the current Sheriff. Irecently beat him in a primary by 70 percent, and look forward tocontinuing to reform and improve the Hamilton County Sheriff'sDepartment.”★ ★ ★Sarah Iannarone, candidate for Mayor of Portland, OR joined ourMonday Night Leaders Call ( [link removed] ) to discuss the struggles that city residents are facing and theimportance of electing a truly progressive mayor. “ We need tostop wasteful spending of municipal budgets, make sure the law isapplied equally to all,” she said. “We are seeing a lot ofprejudice, discrimination, inequality and oppression and it isall undermining every good policy we are thinking about achievingin our city.”★ ★ ★Help us build a bench of progressive candidates and policies upand down the ballot! ( [link removed] )★ ★ ★#4 - We need a movement on the streets and inside the halls ofpower to win progressive change.★ ★ ★Our Revolution Maryland’s State Organizing Meeting ( [link removed] ) featured House of Delegates member & Our Revolution localleader Sheila Ruth who talked about what’s at stake for ourmovement on November 3rd. “The way I see it, we can spend anotherexhausting 4 years in the streets trying to stop Trump fromdestroying everything we care about – the Post Office, electionintegrity, clean air, clean water, public education, immigrantfamilies, Black Lives – with very little hope of success. Or wecan spend 4 years in the streets pushing Biden and Congress onour priorities, and maybe making some progress. I know which oneI prefer, and it isn’t Trump.”READ SHEILA'S FULL REMARKS HERE ( [link removed] )★ ★ ★Hundreds of Our Revolution members stood with post officeworkers last week to support their fight to #SaveThePostOffice.Mark Dimondstein, President of the American Postal Workers Union(APWU) joined our national organizing call last week and thankedour members for supporting their efforts.

( [link removed] )★ ★ ★Not only are we organizing on the streets, we’re also organizinginside the halls of power as Politico recently noted. “The fearamong some progressives is that Biden’s relationships andpenchant for compromise may serve to water down the Democraticagenda. Larry Cohen, the former Communications Workers of Americapresident who now chairs the Bernie Sanders-aligned group OurRevolution, said the inclusion of progressives on Biden’stransition team is ‘the reason I’m hopeful’ about a Bidenadministration. “READ MORE ( [link removed] )★ ★ ★Our Revolution Ohio’s State Organizing Meeting ( [link removed] ) featured longtime progressive champion Dennis Kucinich - formerCongressman, Cleveland mayor, and presidential candidate. “OurRevolution has had a tremendous impact. It’s helping to movecities, counties, states, and the country in the direction ofreal social and economic progress, and giving candidates theextra boost they need to win.
