ROE v. WADE GONE
IT'S TIME TO FIGHT!

[ [link removed] ][IMG]

Our Revolution has been taking to the streets in anticipation of the
horrific decision to overturn abortion rights that the authoritarian
Supreme Court issued Friday, undermining privacy protections for all
Americans and turning back women’s rights half a century.

And, sadly, Democrats do not have an effective response to this threat,
even though they control the Senate, the House, and the White House.
Republicans and the far-right worked hard for this for 50 years - fighting
to infiltrate every level of power to force the change they wanted.

We must organize and fight for progress with even greater tenacity – we
refuse to just watch in horror as women’s healthcare, human rights, and
basic autonomy are decimated.

[ [link removed] ]Our membership is ready to stand up and take action against these
threats at the ballot box and in the streets. Sign up as a member right
now to help our movement stem the tide of fascism.

Congratulations to Our Revolution-endorsed Zachary Parker, who won his
race Tuesday for the Ward 5 seat on DC Council!

Zach is laser-focused on improving life for the people who call the
District of Columbia home - and he believes in community power to do it!

“Economic violence is running rampant in this country. We must
fundamentally disrupt the systems that perpetuate poverty,” he told us on
our [ [link removed] ]National Organizing Call. “The only way to beat organized money is
with organized people.”

[ [link removed] ]Zachary won on a small-donor, publicly-funded campaign with the help of
our volunteers and organizers. Become a recurring donor to Our Revolution
today to get progressives in power at all levels of government.

TIME TO VOTE IN ILLINOIS!

[ [link removed] ][IMG]

Tuesday is Election Day in Illinois, and Our Revolution has a powerful
slate of progressive champions on the ballot! [ [link removed] ]Find your polling place
HERE!

We have multiple chances to add progressives to Congress with Junaid Ahmed
(IL-8), Litesa Wallace (IL-17), and Delia Ramirez (IL-3). All three are
committed to the fight for Medicare for All, a living wage, a green
economy, and more!

Bernie joins our endorsement of Delia as well as Jonathan Jackson, who’s
running for Congress in IL-1. “The issues Our Revolution Illinois espouses
- workers’ rights, clean energy, criminal justice, to name a few, align
with the types of policies I believe will deliver the best long-term
benefits to my district.”

[ [link removed] ][IMG]

And, Our Revolution endorses Alexi Giannoulias, who’s running for
Secretary of State as a staunch defender of democracy who vows to put
people first and stand up to powerful interests.

VOTE TUESDAY FOR NY GOVERNOR & LT GOV!

Our Revolution has been pounding the pavement to help elect Jumaane
Williams for NY Governor and Ana Maria Archila for Lt. Governor — on the
ballot this Tuesday against the establishment!

Jumaane and Ana Maria aren’t just great candidates, they’re excellent
organizers with deep ties to local communities and activists — real
leaders within our movement.

They’re already fighting for the NY Health Act, taxing the wealthy, making
CUNY tuition-free, housing justice, and more. Let’s kick out Cuomo’s
lackey replacements and elect our allies to lead New York!

[ [link removed] ][IMG]

Our Revolution also recently joined Ana Maria, US Rep. Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez (who endorsed her!), and Brittany Ramos DeBarros for
Congress (NY-11) for the NYC Puerto Rican Day Parade!

JOINING BERNIE ON HIS WORKER POWER TOUR

Our Wisconsin Revolution Executive Director Andre Walton joined Bernie
Sanders last week at the CNH strike in Mt. Pleasant, WI — nearly 1,000
workers are on strike in WI and IA, fighting to preserve affordable
healthcare benefits and fighting for good wages.

Bernie was on a Worker Power Tour, stopping in Illinois, Iowa, Wisconsin,
and other states for rallies and strikes with thousands of workers and
unionists across the midwest!

In a [ [link removed] ]speech Bernie delivered at the Chicago Labor Notes Conference,
Bernie sent a message to billionaires like Jeff Bezos and Howard Schultz:
“One way or another your companies are going to be organized.”

“The time is long overdue for us to take on and challenge the
uber-Capitalist culture of today,” Bernie said to a roaring crowd. “While
workers died by the thousands from Covid, billionaires grew their wealth
by $2T. We are in a truly pivotal moment in American history.”

[ [link removed] ]Corporate greed is at the root of the war against workers from
inflation to low wages, offshoring jobs to high gas prices — you name it.
That’s why Our Revolution and our founder Bernie Sanders continue to fight
like hell to maximize the resurgence of worker power to restore democracy.
Join us in the fight.

BERNIE SKEWERS GRAHAM IN FOX NEWS DEBATE!

Bernie Sanders took on fellow Senator Lindsey Graham in a debate on Fox
News last week – and wiped the floor with him for all to see!

Bernie introduced himself to the rightwing audience as the longest-serving
Independent in Congress and gave an unfettered breakdown of Medicare for
All, a living wage, taxing the ultra-rich, and more.

Graham still blamed Bernie for every failure of corporate Democrats (and
Republicans) from the past 40 years, and laughably claimed the problems we
see today are the result of Biden implementing Bernie's agenda — WE WISH!

“Lindsey avoids the facts and diverts from the most important issues
facing this country, that’s what the establishment does,” Bernie rebutted.
“And, Lindsey is a good and effective representative of the
establishment.”

Bernie wisely used his time to drive home critical facts and ideas that
Fox News omits and demonizes — like that billionaires are criminally
raking in record profits for inflating prices and that Medicare for All
could cut healthcare spending in half, [ [link removed] ]The Guardian reports.

RO KHANNA OFFERS BIDEN BOLD INFLATION FIXES

We’re all feeling the pain of inflation, and like US Rep. Ro Khanna wrote
in the [ [link removed] ]New York Times: “There is way more Biden can do to lower
prices.”

Our Revolution stands with Ro and Bernie in urging the Biden
administration to enact solutions to the current 40-year inflation high
that don’t further crush the working class — not just leave it to the Fed
to raise interest rates, jack up unemployment, and force down wages ahead
of the midterms.

Ro argues that Biden must not be afraid to take on corporate greed, take
bold action to shore up supply, or implement a Windfall Profits Tax.

Fossil fuel giants raked in $93B last quarter alone, and food is up 30 per
cent while companies like Tyson saw a 140% jump in profits. Enough is
enough!

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 in a strategic [ [link removed] ]national campaign to
bust 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.

HBO’s John Oliver featured our legislation on his show Last Week Tonight,
exposing how Amazon and Google stifle competition and saying: “These bills
would crack the door open,” [ [link removed] ]The Verge reports.

[ [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!

BIG OIL’S PRICE GOUGING MUST BE STOPPED

Our Revolution continues to ramp up our campaign to end massive taxpayer
handouts to the fossil fuel industry — especially now as they gouge us at
the pump and rake in exorbitant profits!

President Biden recently enacted the Defense Production Act to spur
domestic clean energy production and this week, the House passed Cori
Bush’s bill for $100M to fund it! — BUT the very same day, Biden rewarded
fossil fuel companies with a $10B tax break by suspending the gas tax.

The White House met with fossil fuel executives this week, who called
President Biden “a bully” and likely greenlit the administration’s weak
gas tax holiday to save folks $0.18/gallon.

While the White House meets with fossil fuel execs and Biden begs for oil
in Saudi Arabia (responsible for killing an American journalist and the
genocide against Yemen), Big Oil is buying back its own stocks rather than
investing in American energy.

Our Revolution joins Bernie in calling for a Windfall Profits Tax, and we
call on the Senate to pass Bernie’s bill to fund the Defense Production
Act.

We can’t let Biden backpedal on his commitment to clean energy. America
must transition to renewable energy for our environmental and economic
prosperity — and so we’re not at the mercy of Petro-oligarchs in Russia
and beyond.

RALLYING FOR CLIMATE ACTION IN NJ

Our Revolution New Jersey turned out in force for our planet Thursday,
joining the Rally for Clean Air and Climate Justice, organized by Empower
NJ!

We called on Gov. Phil Murphy to enact a moratorium on fossil fuel
projects and support a just transition to renewable energy that creates
jobs and improves life for the people of NJ and the world.

With seven new fossil projects moving forward in the state, our chapters
were proud to take part as a member of the No Fossil Fuel Projects
coalition.

STANDING w/BERNIE TO EXPAND SOCIAL SECURITY

Our grandparents shouldn’t be struggling to survive on $18k a year. Our
Revolution wholeheartedly endorses Senator Sanders’ SS Expansion Act!

Last week, as Chair of the Senate Budget Committee, Bernie held a hearing
on his proposal, which would not only save Social Security but would
expand benefits now and fund the program for 75 years!

How? By implementing fair taxation on the ultrawealthy.

We’re proud to stand with our ally Social Security Works in this fight,
and loved seeing their Executive Director Alex Lawson set Lindsey Graham
straight with facts during Bernie’s hearing!

OUR REV ON MSNBC
A CALL FOR ACTION TO DEFEND DEMOCRACY

Last week, Our Revolution Executive Director Joseph Geevarghese made the
case for the MSNBC audience to join us in calling on state elections
officials to enforce the Constitution and bar insurrectionists from the
ballot.

The January 6th hearings are reminding us that Trump and his
co-conspirators are a danger to the Republic, but “while Congress has the
power to investigate - it has no power to prosecute,” Joseph told Zerlina
Maxwell on her network show.

“Our Constitution is clear,” he said. “Just like if you don’t meet the age
requirement to run for office, if you engage in an attempted violent
overthrow of the U.S. government, you’re ineligible for office.”

Let’s just say - folks like Matt Gaetz, Scott Perry, and Andy Biggs
wouldn’t be [ [link removed] ]asking for pardons if they were on the right side of the
Constitution.

We need progressive patriots to lend their voice against the rise of
fascism by [ [link removed] ]signing this petition to urge your state elections
officials to do their job and disqualify criminals from seeking
re-election.

Our Revolution has rallied in states like PA, OH, and AZ – [ [link removed] ]calling out
extremists like Lauren Boebert, Paul Gosar, and others. And, our members’
legal challenges have gained traction, even forcing Marjorie Taylor Greene
under oath in Georgia!

If you want to volunteer for this campaign and hold January 6th criminals
accountable, please [ mailto:[email protected] ]email us!

VICTORY! Our Revolution Ohio ran nearly 400 progressives for Central
Committee positions across the state’s 58 counties, outmaneuvered the
Party Machine, and WON!

In Greene County, an Our Revolution member was elected as Party Chair; and
in Cuyahoga County, a partner for party reform and our coalition, David
Brock, won Party Chair and State Rep. and Nina surrogate Juanita Brent was
elected Vice-Chair.

It all started at Our Revolution Ohio’s 2020 Organize-to-Win Summit with a
plan to Transform the Party – and now we have seats of power to work for
true democratic reformation.

With deep organizing, our members built coalitions, phone banked, held
workshops and training sessions, walked door-to-door, and put in the work
to change the composition of the Party in Ohio.

This is a huge win, and we’re pulling over folks who didn’t think they
were progressive. “The party has been on life support, and during a time
when our call is to Defend Democracy, people are seeing that if we don’t
do something now, there will be no democracy to defend,” said our
Revolution Ohio Organizer Diane Morgan.

DEFEND DEMOCRACY PETITION

The January 6th hearings are underway, but Congress only has the power to
investigate - not prosecute. That’s why Our Revolution is calling on
secretaries of state to do their job, enforce the Constitution, and bar
insurrectionists from the ballot!

The American people cannot stomach any more political theater. Let’s put
the findings from the hearings into action and make sure Trump and his
minions are disqualified from seeking re-election!

BIG TECH: CALL SENATORS

Two bills to bust up Big Tech monopoly power are heading to the Senate -
and our voices can tip the scales to get them passed. And, we need YOU to
make a quick call to your Senators and join our call team reaching out to
others to do the same!

Our Revolution phone banker Amanda Walker is from Washington State, home
to Big Tech giants like Microsoft and Amazon, and she is living the
effects of concentrated corporate power and wealth.

“It’s not necessarily making life easier for the rest of us,” Amanda told
us. “The rent is soaring, and it’s getting harder to live here. So I
called my senators, and now I’m making calls to other people asking them
to do the same.”
