Minnesota Attorney General and Our Revolution Board Member Keith Ellison
joined our [ [link removed] ]National Organizing Call on Monday to talk about how to
communicate our progressive values to voters during the 2022 elections.

“We all want safety and security. Equality of the law means neither fear
nor favor — you hold folks accountable even if they’re wearing a badge,”
Keith said. “Part of our movement is trying to establish basic respect and
decency for all human beings.”

Keith said he’s expecting a tough race this year — like most progressives
across the country, he’s the target of the billionaires’ smear machine,
but we’ve overcome it before and we can do it again.

“One of our biggest obstacles is cynicism,” he said. “A lot of folks’
expectations were high — we do need real change and people want to see
things happen that affect their lives — and there have been failures on a
living wage, student debt relief, climate action. To achieve these things
— the time to fight is now, the time to grow our organizing is now.”

[ [link removed] ]Our movement needs you in these fights. We have a challenge ahead of
us, and we will win, but we have to stand up boldly for everyone’s right
to security and prosperity. Become a sustaining member today.

WOOOOO - CROCKETT VICTORY!

Our Revolution MEMBER Jasmine Crockett won the runoff Democratic primary
to win a seat in Congress representing the Dallas-area TX-30 District!

Jasmine beat a candidate endorsed by AIPAC and DMFI, former Biden Texas
director and Democratic Party insider, [ [link removed] ]Roll Call said, noting Our
Revolution’s endorsement.

Jasmine is a founding member of the Texas Progressive Caucus in the State
House, and she helped lead the walkout to block voting restrictions last
summer.

Now, she’s on her way to Washington in this blue district! [ [link removed] ]Help us keep
this momentum going and be a sustaining member of Our Revolution.

As of Wednesday, Our Revolution-endorsed Michelle Vallejo was leading her
Blue Dog opponent by just 23 votes in a close race for Congress in Texas’
15th District.

We are still waiting for the race to be called.

Running to represent one of the most uninsured regions of the country,
Michelle says Medicare for All would be “game-changing” for South Texans.
“No resident should have to cross the border to find affordable medical
care or treatments. No resident should have to rely on selling chicken
plates to cover medical expenses,” she said.

Michelle would make an amazing partner in Congress for our movement, and
we’re working to make sure this lead sticks!

The Texas-28 runoff between progressive Jessica Cisneros and Henry Cuellar
- one of the WORST “Democrats” in Congress - is still up in the air.

With an estimated 98 percent of the vote in on Wednesday, Cuellar was up
by just 177 votes.

“If Cuellar wins, leadership’s decision to go to the mat for a pro-NRA
incumbent will be the reason why,” Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez tweeted.

Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Majority Whip James Clyburn both ran recorded
robocalls right before the election backing Cuellar. Clyburn even visited
in person to campaign for Cuellar.

Our Revolution Executive Director Joseph Geevarghese told [ [link removed] ]The Hill,
“Democratic leadership and countless corporate interests poured endless
fundraising support into the incumbent’s campaign to fit their
uninspiring, anti-progress mold,” he said. “It’s time for Washington to
wake up and recognize that working families want a progressive agenda.
It’s time to embrace and lift up pro-labor, pro-climate, pro-abortion
candidates, instead of actively working to defeat them.”

[ [link removed] ]Our fight is far from finished! This month, we have working-class
fighters on the ballot in Illinois, Nevada, New York, and around that
country that need our movement to help combat the establishment war on
progressives. Chip in now to help mount a unified front against their big
money.

NEW ENDORSEMENT!
LITESA WALLACE FOR CONGRESS, IL-17

We have a real progressive champion in Litesa Wallace, and Our Revolution
is proud to back her run for Congress to represent Illinois’ 17th
District.

Litesa was an original co-chair of Our Illinois Revolution and she’s been
a steadfast ally as IL State Rep, doing the work for affordable childcare,
mental healthcare, a living wage, violence reduction, and criminal justice
reform.

As a single mom and foster parent, Litesa knows what it’s like to work
hard and still struggle to make ends meet. She’s proud to have created a
Foster Children’s Bill of Rights while in the State House.

“People are tired, they want a government that works for them,” Litesa
told us on our [ [link removed] ]National Organizing Call on Monday. “I won’t stop until
government works for all of us.”

NEW ENDORSEMENT!
MIKE ORTEGA FOR CONGRESS, CA-46

Our Revolution is ready to work overtime to send Mike Ortega to Congress
to represent California’s 46th District. Early voting has started and
Election Day is June 7!

Mike is a lifelong organizer running an exciting campaign to get action on
our important progressive issues like Medicare for All and Canceling
Student Debt. “When I was in college I took out a student loan to help my
mother pay for medical care because for years she’d been rationing her
insulin,” he said. This is the America we live in.”

“People are ready for change. They’re tired of the same old stale
politics. That’s why we’re taking on Blue Dog Lou Correa - he’s for Big
Pharma, Big Oil, and Big Tech,” Mike told us on our [ [link removed] ]National
Organizing Call on Monday. “This fight isn’t easy, and it’s not meant to
be easy.”

Mike’s district is a former Republic stronghold - now Bernie Sanders
territory — let’s get a serious movement partner in this seat. [ [link removed] ]Sign up

NEW ENDORSEMENT!
DELIA RAMIREZ FOR CONGRESS, IL-3

Our Revolution is thrilled to endorse Illinois State Rep. Delia Ramirez
for Congress to represent Illinois’ 3rd. Voting is already underway and
Election Day is June 28th.

Delia is taking on the establishment as a committed ally in the fight for
Medicare for All, reproductive rights, climate action, and much more.

In the State House, she created a housing committee and expanded
affordable housing and Medicaid coverage. Delia was an early co-sponsor of
the state Clean Energy and Jobs Act and created an elected school board in
Chicago.

Before being elected, she founded and directed several community
organizations dedicated to creating prosperity for immigrants and
working-class neighborhoods.

“It’s incredible to see so many of us from the progressive movement
running at every level of government,” Delia said on our [ [link removed] ]National
Organizing Call on Monday. “If we get enough of us there, we will move the
needle.”

BIG WIN TO DEFEND DEMOCRACY!

In a major victory for our movement, a federal appeals court ruled Tuesday
that the US Constitution's “Insurrectionist Disqualification Clause”
trumps a Civil War-era Amnesty Law and that our campaign to ban January
6th insurrectionists from the ballot is on solid ground legally, [ [link removed] ]CNN
reported.

With the J6 hearings starting in June, Our Revolution members and our
partners at Free Speech For People are ramping up our campaign in the
courts and on the streets.

Our members are calling on state election officials to use their power
under the Constitution to bar criminal insurrectionists like Trump, Doug
Mastriano, Marjorie Taylor Greene, and Paul Gosar who aided and incited
the mob that breached the Capitol on January 6th!

[ [link removed] ]Sign our petition to your state elections official demanding they
uphold the Constitution and bar insurrectionists from the ballot.

“Democrats shouldn’t have to agree on ‘everything,’ but it’s hardly
‘sophomoric’ to suggest they stand for something,” writes Robert Borosage
in [ [link removed] ]The Nation.

In race after race - from Nina Turner v. Shontel Brown to Cuellar v.
Cisneros - Borosage points out that the Democratic Party’s
corporate-funded campaign arms like the DCCC and the DSCC - are thumbing
their noses at the Party platform - and the people - by putting their
thumbs on the scale in favor of moderates who align with corporate
interests and against popular progressive priorities.

But all is not lost, as the results of the election make clear. Borosage
writes that groups like Our Revolution are building an “independent
infrastructure” outside of the party that is effectively fighting to make
sure that the Democratic Party is truly democratic.
