Before Our Revolution was founded, the popular consensus among the political establishment was that ideas like raising the minimum wage to $15/hour, guaranteeing health care as a human right, and that the climate crisis is the most significant threat to America's national security were unrealistic -- instead, they said, we should accept that only incremental progress is possible.
Today, Donald Trump is president, and these ideas are now widely accepted as necessary for the future of our country and our planet. In just three years, the political revolution that Bernie Sanders began has radically changed the course of American politics.

Donald Trump is openly racist, sexist, xenophobic, and corrupt. He is one of the worst presidents in American history, and we must do everything necessary to expose and defeat him.
But John, Trump's presidency is primarily a symptom of greater systemic issues that have festered in the United States for decades -- from economic inequality, to racial inequality, to a corrupt political establishment, to the unfettered corporate greed that resulted in a worldwide economic crisis just 11 years ago.
That's why Our Revolution is building an unprecedented movement capable of standing up to the corporate elite at the root of these problems.

Our Revolution members like you have organized at the grassroots level across the country for more than three years because you understand one very simple truth: real, transformative change always happens from the bottom up.
No president is capable of taking on Wall Street, the health insurance industry, or the fossil fuel industry alone -- no matter how many plans and good ideas they have. The immense power and unlimited sums of money that the 1% wields can only be challenged by bringing the 99% into the political process, and that starts with local organizing.
Donate to Our Revolution before September ends to help us continue transforming American politics at the grassroots level nationwide by organizing for progressive candidates and issues no matter who is in the White House:
