TAKING ACTION AGAINST J6 INSURRECTIONISTS!

Thursday kicked off the January 6th Committee hearings - but the truth is
- while Congress has the power to investigate and expose, it has no power
to prosecute.

That’s why Our Revolution members are hitting the streets to demand that
Secretaries of State enforce the Constitution and bar criminal
insurrectionists from the ballot.

[ [link removed] ]Fox 43 reported on our demonstration in Harrisburg on Wednesday,
calling on PA Secretary of State Leigh Chapman to bar US Rep. Scott Perry
and GOP gubernatorial candidate Doug Mastriano from the November ballot.

On Thursday, we rallied outside Andy Biggs office in Mesa, AZ, calling AZ
Sec. of State Katie Hobbs to bar him and his fellow Rep. Paul Gosar - as
well as Trump - from the ballot.

[ [link removed] ]Lima Ohio News reported on our action outside the office of Sec. of
State Franklin LaRose, demanding US Rep. Jim Jordan’s disqualification.

[ [link removed] ][IMG]

In Grand Junction, CO on Friday, we called on Secretary of State Jena
Griswold to act on the constitutional mandate that US Rep. Lauren Boebert,
too, is ineligible for re-election.

This week, Our Revolution leaders also started sending official letters to
51 state election officials requesting meetings with our legal team with
Free Speech for People to discuss how they can enforce the law of the land
and protect democracy, [ [link removed] ]Truthout reported.

[ [link removed] ][IMG]

It’s no secret that Trump is plotting his return to power, so there’s no
time to waste. If you want to volunteer for our campaign and hold January
6th criminals accountable, please [ mailto:[email protected] ]email us!

Be sure to add your name as a citizen advocate that our laws be enforced
and insurrectionist criminals be kept out of government.

BUST BIG TECH

MAJOR BILLS TO TAKE ON TECH’S MONOPOLY POWER!

A small number of companies have way too much power, and it’s crippling
our democracy.

Join Our Revolution and our allies in a strategic national campaign to
bust up the power of the big tech monopolies acting as gatekeepers to the
public square.

The Open Apps Markets Act and the American Innovation and Choice Act have
a REAL SHOT TO PASS and would enable fair competition on Big Tech
platforms and app markets. This will create fairness for small businesses
and empower users with more choice on the platforms.

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer has pledged a floor vote this month —
and we’re going to hold him to it!

[ [link removed] ]You can take a quick and simple action to kick off this fight! CALL
YOUR SENATORS NOW and tell them you want these two important bills passed!

[ [link removed] ][IMG]

On Monday we were joined by US Rep. David Cicilline (RI-1), who has led
the fight to Bust Big Tech as chair of the House Antitrust Subcommittee.

“There’s a lot of momentum behind these bills,” [ [link removed] ]Bloomberg reported him
saying on our [ [link removed] ]live broadcast. “They have significant bipartisan
support, and they will pass when they come to the chambers in the coming
weeks.”

“Concentrated economic power comes with concentrated political power,”
Rep. Cicilline told us. “By spending millions on ads and lobbying to try
to defeat these bills, Big Tech is making our point of how dangerous
monopoly power is to our democracy and economy.”

Apple, Amazon, Google and Meta spent $16.7 million lobbying in the first
three months of this year, identifying the antitrust bills as their top
priority. Tech-backed trade groups spent another $25M in ads.

“If you look at the history of our country, it's been the battle between
democracy and concentrated economic power,” Rep. Cicilline said. “This is
the most recent form of it, and we can win this fight.”

Barry Lynn, executive director of the Open Markets Institute, who
pioneered understanding of how 21st Century monopolies, talked about his
decades of work on our [ [link removed] ]live broadcast Monday.

“For every ill we face today, monopolists are part of the cause — driving
down our wages, driving up inflation and rent, causing shortages like baby
formula, taking away our healthcare, undermining national security,
fueling the climate crisis,” Barry said.

“We must use our most powerful political tool - our anti-monopoly laws.
That’s how we build Liberty, Democracy, Community, Peace, Prosperity,” he
stated.

[ [link removed] ][IMG]

Fight for our Future Director Evan Greer revved up the folks on our
[ [link removed] ]national organizing call, emphasizing the huge opportunity we have to
pass real antitrust legislation.

“Big Tech lobbyists are throwing everything they have because they’re
panicking,” Evan said. “They see the writing on the wall — no member of
Congress wants to go on the record as a shill for Big Tech, and they know
when these bills hit the floor, they’re going to pass overwhelmingly.”

“We can strike at the heart of these companies’ harm - which is their
scale and power that gives them outsized influence over our economy and
what the future of our society looks like,” Evan said. “I wake up every
day with cynicism, critical of our political systems, but then we have to
be stoked and seize these opportunities to make something happen.”

We’re asking everyone to make a quick call to your senators right now and
ask them to support two major antitrust bills to curb the monopoly power
of Big Tech.

DEMS SERIOUSLY MUST DELIVER

Learning nothing, Corporate Dems have spent the Biden administration
giving excuse after excuse about why they haven’t kept their promises or
delivered for working people.

Bernie, as usual, put it best: “You really can’t win an election with a
bumper sticker that says: ‘Well, we can’t do much, but the other side is
worse.’”

Young, Hispanic, Asian-American and Black voters are all drifting away
from Democrats, [ [link removed] ]Politico said, noting Bernie’s warning: “Unless we
turn around, the voter turnout is going to be very, very low on the
Democratic base.”

With the Republican Party openly embracing fascism, we can’t afford
another second of this pathetic weakness.

That’s why [ [link removed] ]Our Revolution is working every day to defeat corporate
Dems in primaries and elect progressives who will actually fight to make
our democracy function and deliver for the lives of working people.

While the mainstream media claims voters are rejecting criminal justice
reform in big cities, they’re missing the real story unfolding in front of
their eyes.

In major population centers like Alameda County, CA, progressive civil
rights attorney Pamela Price is poised to win the District Attorney’s
race! And in Contra Costa County, CA, progressive DA Diane Becton won her
re-election bid!

Progressives fared well in other CA races, too - Alex Lee ran a
corporate-free campaign that overcame attacks from real estate developers
to win his primary for re-election to the CA Assembly D-25. And, Fatima
Iqbal-Zubair - backed by Bernie! - will also move on to the General
Election in November for Assembly District 65.

Congratulations to Our Revolution Iowa victorious candidates in the June
7th primary!

Deidre DeJear made history on Tuesday by becoming the state’s first Black
nominee for Governor from a major party. And, Kimberly Graham heads to
November as the likely next Polk County Attorney, another progressive
prosecutor winning on issues like wage theft and sentencing disparities –
not prosecuting low-level marijuana offenses.

State Rep. Liz Bennett is on track to be the first out-LGBTQ woman in the
State Senate! Molly Donahue also won her Senate primary on a message of
restoring collective bargaining rights to public-sector unions!

Dr. Megan Srinivas led her primary for State House as a powerful voice for
public health throughout the pandemic. She pledges to repeal Medicaid
privatization and fight for a living wage.

Our Revolution also snagged two progressive County Supervisor seats with
Jon Green, who wants to bring Bernie’s vision to Johnson County, home to
Iowa City, and Tavis Hall who won on a message of economic and criminal
justice in Black Hawk County.

[ [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 the
country. Chip-in now to keep chipping away at the corporate establishment.

ELECTION DAY FOR AMY IN NEVADA

Amy Vilela heads to Election Day on Tuesday in Nevada’s 1st District
backed by Bernie Sanders and Our Revolution. Sending Amy to Congress would
be HUGE for our movement!!

One of our most passionate champions for Medicare for All, Amy served as
Nevada Co-Chair for Bernie Sanders’ 2020 campaign, and now she’s taking on
a corporate-backed Democratic incumbent for this pivotal Vegas seat.

“I am running to represent the working class,” Amy told us on a
[ [link removed] ]National Organizing Call. “This is the right race at the right time,
and stakeholders on the frontlines want a seat at the table.”

Let’s get out the vote in NV-1 — find a Vote Center [ [link removed] ]HERE!

EARLY VOTING STARTS IN D.C.

Early voting is also underway in Washington, D.C., where Our Revolution is
backing Erin Palmer and Zachary Parker to make the DC Council more
progressive!

Erin is running for DC Council Chairwoman against a corporate-funded
incumbent backed by gambling bosses and big developers. Like Erin, Zach is
fighting for housing and economic justice and will always put DC residents
and locally-owned businesses first.

It’s not just a “squad” anymore, we’re building a powerful progressive
voting bloc in Congress to take on the corporate establishment.

We’ve already clinched important wins for Congress with Greg Casar
(TX-35), Summer Lee (PA-12), Jasmine Crockett (TX-30), Jamie McLeod
Skinner (OR-5), Michelle Vallejo (TX-15) Andrea Salinas (OR-06), and
others!

Even as corporate Dems sabotage their own prospects for the midterms, we
are growing progressive power at every level of government. Let’s build on
this momentum!

[ [link removed] ]Pitch-in here to help us take down the worst corporate puppets before
they forfeit what’s left of our democracy to Republicans in November!

[ [link removed] ][IMG]

It’s official! Our Revolution-endorsed Jamie McLeod Skinner defeated Kurt
Shrader – known as the Joe Manchin of the House! Her progressive campaign
overcame huge spending by Big Pharma and Biden’s endorsement of Shrader,
who worked so hard on behalf of Big Pharma last year to derail Build Back
Better and drug price cuts.

Our Revolution-endorsed Michelle Vallejo has declared victory in a close
race for Congress in Texas’ 15th District!

“I want us to build stronger and healthier neighborhoods and I have a plan
to make this happen,” she said. “We all deserve to work and live with
dignity, and I am ready to fight for that every single day.”

Also in Texas, Jessica Cisneros has called for a recount in TX-28, where
she has battled Henry Cuellar - Trump’s favorite Democrat - into a dead
heat. Despite Cuellar being opposition to abortion rights and gun
legislation, Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Whip Jim Clyburn both campaigned for
him and helped him eke out his paltry 136 vote lead.

[ [link removed] ]This is why it matters that we muster all of our collective strength
to battle the Democratic establishment in these critical races. Becoming a
recurring donor today to help progressives fight back against big money.

Our Revolution New York Progressive Action Network joined with NY Working
Families Party to support Jumaane Williams ahead of Tuesday’s NY
Gubernatorial Debate!

Jumaane is the progressive choice for NY Governor against the status quo
Democrats, who seem more interested in giveaways to billionaires than in
serving the vast majority of New Yorkers!

While Jumaane is taking on Kathy Hochul, his running mate, Ana Maria
Archila is [ [link removed] ]calling out the crypto-billionaire dumping $1M to back her
opponent.

ORNJ RACKS UP 90 LOCAL PARTY WINS

Our Revolution New Jersey racked up more than 90 wins in local races on
Tuesday, [ [link removed] ]Insider NJ reports.

“Since 2016, our members have been doing the work of transforming the
party,” said Our Revolution National Organizing Coordinator Anna-Marta
Visky. “I’m excited to grow the base of county committee members who will
work to build the party, engage voters and create transparency and good
government in their districts.”

Our Revolution Trenton Mercer Chair Joe Marchica and his running mate
Denise Soto, defeated two long-time incumbents and resources from the
local party to win county committee seats.

Our Revolution NJ is also celebrating Karol Ruiz and Sandra Wittner
winning seats in Dover – a further testament that a grassroots movement
can confront the machine, beat back relentless attacks from well-funded
incumbents and win.

BUST BIG TECH - CALLING ALL SENATORS

We’re asking everyone (this means you!) to make a quick call to your
senators right now and ask them to support two major antitrust bills to
curb the monopoly power of Big Tech.

When you follow this link, you’ll put in info and instantly get an
automatic call connecting you with your senators offices.
Most times, you’ll just leave a brief message -
so it’s not no work at all!

Just tell them to support the Open Apps Markets Act (S.2710) and the
American Innovation and Choice Act (S.2992), which would end Big Tech’s
self-dealing, creating fair competition for small businesses, and empower
citizens with more choice on the platforms.

It’s a really simple way to make a HUGE IMPACT to wrest control of our
democratic and economic power from corporate behemoths.

mind in real time and know that you helped get an amazing candidate into
power.
