As Americans across the nation start to vote, Our Revolution
members are carrying out our 4-POINT PLAN to fight for a
progressive future by #1) Defeating Trump; #2) Electing more
progressives to Congress; #3) Building a down-ballot bench; and
most critically, #4) Organizing a powerful grassroots movement
to win transformative change after the election!

#1 - We must go all out to defeat Donald Trump by winning back
working-class voters in the Midwest.

★ ★ ★

This week, The Washington Post’s Catherine Rampell highlighted
Our Revolution’s Midwest “Pivot County” Campaign to expose
Trump’s lies to working-class voters in the swing areas of the
industrial heartland.

“Our Revolution, the progressive political organization is
seeking to flip blue again districts that went for Trump in 2016
but had previously voted for Barack Obama, partly by talking
about Trump’s record on manufacturing jobs.”

Our Revolution leaders Dave Green and Chuckie Dension - both
laid-off from the GM plant in Lordstown - spoke of Trump’s
failure to save 5000 jobs at the plant despite promising to
“revive the auto industry.” Green, the former union leader at
the plant, told Rampbell, “They’ve betrayed the American worker,
they’ve betrayed all those people who voted for them and
supported them.”

On the campaign trail, Trump is claiming that he’s “fighting for
the American worker” and “bringing back jobs to the USA.”
That’s why - ahead of the first presidential debate in Cleveland
- Our Revolution held a virtual town hall - “Exposing Trump’s Top
Lies to Workers
( [link removed] )
” - with laid-off workers who are calling out Trump for failing
to deliver on his promise to stop plant closures.

Chuck Jones - the union leader who did battle with Trump on
Twitter for “lying his ass off” about saving the jobs at the
Carrier plant in Indiana - talked about Hillary Clinton’s failure
to win over working class voters in the industrial heartland.
“Union members are afraid of losing their jobs to foreign
countries and Clinton and the Democrats failed to say they would
stop it. We need to make sure Biden doesn’t ignore this issue
and let Trump win the Midwest again.”

Chuckie Denison, who lost his job at the GM plant in Lordstown,
Ohio, said that Joe Biden “shouldn’t take the working class vote
for granted. Biden needs to reassure workers hurt by bad trade
deals that he’s going to stand up and fight us.” Chuckie and
Our Revolution Ohio members have been travelling to Trump rallies
in Dayton, Toledo, Zanesville to call-out the Administration’s
failure to deliver on its vow to “save auto jobs.”

Shannon Mulcahy - an Obama-Biden voter who supported Trump in
2016 because she believed that he would save her job from moving
to Mexico - talked about the importance of Our Revolution’s
Midwest “Pivot County” Campaign. “There are alot of people like
me who feel betrayed by Trump. We’re getting out there and
making sure workers who used to be Democrats get out and vote
against Trump.” Between now and Election Day, Our Revolution is
zeroing in on organizing laid-off workers in critical “pivot
counties” - counties which went for Obama-Biden twice, then
flipped to Trump - as the cornerstone of our campaign to win
pivotal states like Ohio, Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, and
Iowa.

In addition to the grassroots organizing in Midwestern
battleground states, Our Revolution members are holding daily
national “Dump Trump” phone banks. Between now and Election
Day, we’re enlisting an army of volunteers to make calls to key
swing states to get out the vote.

#2 - We must elect more progressives to the US House and flip &
fix the Senate to advance policies like Medicare for All and a
Green New Deal.

★ ★ ★

This week, Our Revolution Board Chair Larry Cohen moderated a Fix
the Senate Town Hall
( [link removed] )
with Senator Jeff Merkley, Senator Elizabeth Warren, and our
allies in the progressive movement to build grass-roots support
to push for critical changes to Senate rules - like ending the
filibuster - so that Democrats can actually pass laws and
actually govern in 2021.

Larry noted that “even if Democrats sweep the White House,
Senate, and the House — just 41 Republican Senators can use
arcane rules — like the McConnell veto — to block any critical
piece of legislation we need to pass to get America back on a
path to progress in January 2021. That means it will be
impossible to make progress on crucial issues like voting rights,
systemic racism in policing, the climate crisis, workers rights,
gun safety, immigration, healthcare, and jobs.”

★ ★ ★

If we want to get the Senate working again, we must change the
rules and end the filibuster!

FEATURED CONGRESSIONAL CANDIDATE!

In addition to flipping and fixing the Senate, Our Revolution is
organizing to grow “The Squad” in Congress by supporting
candidates like Dana Balter. Balter is running to flip a
Repubican House seat - held by Rep. John Katko - in upstate New
York by running as a bold progressive who supports Medicare for
All. "I know what it's like to go without health insurance, to
almost go bankrupt from health care bills, to be labeled with a
preexisting condition the rest of my life." Balter and Katko are
locked in a competitive contest. Most polls show that the
candidates are either in a dead heat or within a few points of
each other.

★ ★ ★

#3 - We must build a bench of down-ballot progressive elected
officials and policies to fight for change from the bottom up.

★ ★ ★

FEATURED DOWN-BALLOT PROGRESSIVE CHAMPIONS!

While Trump barks about “Law and Order,” Our Revolution Ohio
members are fighting to reform our broken criminal justice system
by supporting Fanon Rucker to be Hamilton County (Cincinnati)
prosecutor. Rucker is a former civil rights attorney and
municipal judge who is running against long-time and well-funded
incumbent. Rucker is running on an unmistakably progressive and
reform platform including: No cash bail for non-violent crimes,
creating a “conviction integrity unit” to review convictions and
establishing a “reentry court” to help citizens as they move back
into the community after being incarcerated.

★ ★ ★

Our Revolution Texas is organizing to turn the Texas State House
blue by supporting candidates like Lorenzo Sanchez, a
first-generation Mexican American and small business owner. If
elected, Lorenzo will be the only openly LGBTQ+ man in the Texas
Legislature and the first Latino from Collin County (Plano area)
ever elected to the state legislature.

Help us build a bench of progressive candidates and policies up

#4 - We must build a movement in the streets and inside the
halls of power to win progressive change.

The Next American Revolution: Defeating Corporate Monopolies!

If we want to reclaim our democracy, we must not only defeat
Trump, we must also get ready to defeat corporate goliaths like
Amazon. That’s why Our Revolution hosted a virtual town hall on
The Next American Revolution: Defeating Corporate Monopolies
( [link removed] )
with Minnesota Attorney General and Our Revolution Board Member
Keith Ellison, Fordham law professor Zephyr Teachout, and Open
Markets Institute’s Executive Director Barry Lynn to lay the
groundwork for pressuring Democrats to reverse Reagan-era
antitrust policy and break-up the large corporations that
dominate nearly every sector of our economy. As Lynn - who wrote
a new book about monopolies
( [link removed] )
released this week - noted, “When the power of government is
fused to that of the private corporation, it’s bad for all of
us.”

Administration to fight corporate power on Day 1.

Our Revolution Florida members are energizing progressive voters
to get out and vote to support a statewide initiative to raise
the minimum wage to $15 bucks an hour. As Bernie said, the
current federal minimum wage of $7.25 is a “starvation wage” and
must be changed!

★ ★ ★

Our Revolution Florida leader Kira Willig was quoted in Politico
on the importance of organizing to register new voters and to get
out the vote - especially since the Republicans are ramping up
their ground game in her state. “With Biden, there’s a feeling
that the ground game is not important. And I think that’s a
miscalculation where I hope I’m wrong. Registration is part of
the ground game,” said Willig, who leads the progressive group
Our Revolution Miami.

This week, Our Revolution Nashville & Middle Tennessee members
