DOWN TO THE WIRE

The Budget Battle is coming down to the wire as Democrats’
self-imposed Halloween deadline nears. We’ve come so far, but our
fight is far from over.

It’s thanks to us - as progressives - holding the line against
the corporatists that Democrats still have a chance to deliver on
Biden’s Build Back Better agenda.

We know that if the corporate Democrats prevail and gut the
President’s promise to improve the material conditions of the
American people, we risk the resurgence of right-wing populism,
the loss of Congressional majorities in 2022, and the return of
Trump in 2024.

With everything on the line, Our Revolution members are rising
up to put corporate Democrats on notice.

In Politico
( [link removed] )
this week, Our Revolution’s Executive Director Joseph
Geevarghese warned that any obstructionist Democrat will face
electoral consequences: "We are keeping a list to see where
people end up - and we are willing to primary people if
necessary.”

But we’re not waiting until the next election rolls around. In
this edition of The Revolution Report, you’ll read about how our
citizen activists are voting with their feet right now by holding
rolling protests in Arizona against US Sen. Krysten Sinema and
taking over town halls held by US Reps. Josh Gottheimer in New
Jersey and Kurt Schrader in Oregon, and more.

Be part of this moment by becoming a recurring donor today. We
can leave nothing to chance against the powerful forces trying to
derail this historic legislation.

TIME TO DELIVER

Our Revolution and our allies came together Tuesday for a
Progressive Town Hall
( [link removed] )
with Bernie and the Congressional Progressive Caucus to make
clear to Democratic holdouts and leadership that it’s Time to
Deliver on the Budget Bill.

That means real climate action, Medicare expansion, community
college, and all of our policies that together will make a
profound impact on American life.

As Bernie said: “We cannot fail to deliver for the tens of
millions of people whose problems have long been neglected by
Congress and by presidents, while the very rich get richer. We
are not going to ignore those problems anymore.”

“This isn’t a wishlist - it’s the needs of the working class,”
Bernie said, “and the overwhelming majority of the American
people are on our side.”

Our Revolution is leading the charge to pass Bernie’s bill,
making national news, and working directly with Congressional
Progressive Caucus leaders to save Bernie’s budget. Donate NOW so
we can ramp up our organizing to demand that corporate Democrats
pass Bernie’s budget as soon as possible!

Our Revolution joined with the Worker Power Coalition
( [link removed] ) and Arizona union leaders to
kick-off a Pick-up Truck Tour to demand US Sen. Kyrsten Sinema
pick up her pen and sign-on to support legislation that puts the
interests of working-class voters over her corporate benefactors.

From the Budget Bill to the filibuster to the PRO Act, Sinema
consistently “ignores and dismisses her constituents,” Yolanda
Bejarano of the Communications Workers of America told Politico
( [link removed] )
. Bejarano said people on the ground in Arizona “want somebody
to listen, and the fact that that’s not happening is infuriating.
These folks are not strangers to her. They helped get her
elected.”

In fact, as budget negotiations are underway, Sinema is
jet-setting to Europe and her Arizona offices sit empty.

As Our Revolution national field director Mike Oles - who’s
leading the Pickup Truck Tour protests in Phoenix, Tucson, and
other cities - told the media:
( [link removed] )
“We did our job electing a Democratic Congress, and now her
office is empty, and she’s lying to the people.”

Our Revolution is fighting back against Kyrsten Sinema’s
obstructionism with protests and mass mobilizations in Arizona.
Please chip in now to help us fight back as we enter the critical
final push to win the Battle over the Budget!

THE PEOPLE VS. FOSSIL FUELS

Our Revolution activists were among thousands gathered at the
White House this week for a protest against fossil fuels led by
the Indigenous Environmental Network.

Our coalition is not only fighting to end fossil fuel subsidies
through the Budget Bill, we’re also calling on President Biden to
use his executive power to stop the construction of new
petrochemical facilities and pipelines.

To date, hundreds have been arrested
( [link removed] ) for
engaging in civil disobedience to demand President Biden declare
a Climate Emergency and halt all new fossil fuel projects - which
he could do with the stroke of a pen.

If the Biden Administration moves forward with 24 major fossil
fuel infrastructure projects that are currently under federal
review, it would be the emissions equivalent of adding 400 new
coal-fired power plants, according to a new report.

STRIKE FOR IMMIGRANT RIGHTS!

Our Wisconsin Revolution activists on Monday participated in a
massive march from Milwaukee’s south side to the federal
courthouse in the statewide “Day Without Latinx and Immigrants
Strike.”

Activists with Voces de la Frontera organized the strike to
demand immigration reform, following a US Senate parliamentarian
opinion that key immigration reforms could not be included in the
Budget Bill.

Latino essential workers, business owners, and allies took part
in the action by not going to work or school and not spending any
money.

Ramiro Castillo, who immigrated at 18 and is now a business
owner, told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel
( [link removed] )
: “We show a lot of power in participating in a day without
Latinos - look at the pandemic, immigrants were the ones working.

This week, the Congressional Progressive Caucus issued a letter
to President Biden
( [link removed] )
urging him to deliver on his campaign pledge to cancel student
debt.

“With a single signature, you can improve the economy, create
new jobs, transform the lives of 45 million Americans, narrow the
racial wealth gap, and maintain the trust of voters,” the letter
reads.

US Reps. Ilhan Omar, Cori Bush, Chuy Garcia, and others are
calling on the Biden Administration to release an internal memo
that shows the President has the executive authority to broadly
cancel student debt.

White House Chief of Staff Ron Klain promised six months ago
( [link removed] )
to release the memo, but it has yet to see the light of day.

GOTV RALLY IN MINNESOTA!

Our Revolution Minnesota hosted a Virtual Get Out the Vote Rally
( [link removed] ) for a slate of progressives
running for local offices throughout the state.

Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison - who serves on Our
Revolution’s Board - kicked off the event, emphasizing the
importance of filling local seats with progressives. “The closest
government to the people is local government. If you don’t have a
solid progressive base on school boards, city councils, boards of
estimation and taxation, and parks boards - then you don’t have a
solid foundation,” Ellison said.

Jeremiah Ellison, who is running for re-election as Minneapolis
City Council-Ward 5, said “when we experience change, it doesn’t
happen in this clean, orderly way because there are certain
people who benefit from things the way they are.”

But, he said, there’s a new sense of urgency in the people,
especially after the murder of George Floyd, that is key to
overcoming entrenched power to realize change at the local level.

Join Our Revolution Minnesota to knock on doors
( [link removed] ) for these
candidates on Sunday, October 24th!

Our Revolution has endorsed Elizabeth Santos in her bid for
re-election as the District 1 Trustee for the Houston Independent
School District (HISD). Santos has been a strong voice for
progressives since her election with the support of Our
Revolution members in Texas. She has easily earned another term
with her support for the local mask mandate (in defiance of
Texas’ governor), her efforts to fend off privatization and
increase teacher salaries, and her leadership in a tough fight to
provide the largest raise to support staff in HISD history.

Our Revolution has endorsed two progressive champions for City
Council in Jersey City, NJ: Joel Brooks and James Solomon!

Solomon made Jersey City the first in the state to pass a
resolution calling on city and state pension funds to divest from
fossil fuels. He also passed legislation to regulate Airbnb to
make downtown more livable and affordable. Now he is running for
re-election against a candidate put up by the local party
machine.

Joel is a former Bernie campaign organizer who is fighting for
tenants’ rights, fair housing, rent control protections, and
long-term solutions to school funding. He has pledged to reject
any campaign contributions from real estate developers and
corporate landlords.

Join us each Saturday as we knock doors for Joel and on Tuesday
10/26 for a Get Out the Vote Rally for James.

Our Revolution endorsed Greenbelt Mayor Colin Byrd for
re-election. Colin is a member of Our Revolution Maryland and a
powerful voice at our local events in support of a $15 minimum
wage, Medicare for All, and the Green New Deal.

As Mayor, he successfully urged the City Council to adopt a
Medicare for All resolution and led the effort to make Greenbelt
the first city in the United States to take up a referendum on
reparations (residents will also vote on this measure in
November). He backed successful efforts to pass emergency rental
assistance as well as a temporary ban on evictions.
