This Fourth of July, we are in a battle for Independence from Tyranny. Our
radical Supreme Court has gone rogue, tearing down our human rights in
rapid succession: abortion rights, privacy, clean air, and more — all in a
time of rising authoritarianism and corporate domination.

Things appear bleak, but this darkness is galvanizing our movement to
fight with greater solidarity and tenacity. It’s not an exaggeration to
say we are in the fight for our lives, and nothing less than freedom,
democracy, and justice are on the line.

[ [link removed] ]Enjoy your holiday with loved ones, and please chip in if you can to
help mount a powerful opposition to tyranny in all its forms this
Independence Day.

BUILDING WORKER POWER

Our Revolution teamed up with SEIU, CWA, Fight for $15 and a Union, and US
Rep. Ro Khanna on Monday for a powerful [ [link removed] ]LIVE organizing call to BUILD
WORKER POWER — one of the most powerful tools of democracy.

Corporate Dems are blocking federal action like the PRO Act, with
state-level action we can win innovative, game-changing legislation to
give workers a real seat at the table — starting in California.

RO KHANNA GOES TO WORK FOR LABOR

Ro listened to worker activists and labor leaders on our [ [link removed] ]Monday call
and joined them in demanding the California State Senate pass AB-257 - The
FAST Recovery Act.

The bill would give fast-food workers a say in setting health, safety, and
employment standards while holding major food chains accountable.

“This is something where a mobilized effort can win within a couple of
weeks, and then we can take it across the country and for workers in
different sectors,” Ro said. “These folks have very little say in their
workplaces — they’ve risked it all to step out on picket lines for worker
justice, and we must stand with them.”

Ro will also hold a rally and roundtable on July 8 with fast-food workers
in his state. “There is no reason for the delay,” he said, “especially now
as prices are going up and wages aren’t.”

[ [link removed] ][IMG]

Ro Khanna and the worker activists on our call are urging immediate
collective action and for folks in California to sign our petition that
goes straight to CA State Senators.

[ [link removed] ]Ro said unequivocally that your activism on this issue can tip the
balance — Add your voice now in solidarity with CA workers calling for AB
257 and demand more democracy in the workplace.

Moriah Foster, a young Burger King worker in Sacramento, told us on
[ [link removed] ]the call that she learned she could stand up for herself and her
co-workers and began striking for $15 and a Union.

California was the first state to win $15 - six years ago - but now, she
said, they’re pressing forward for more and for unions.

Moriah told us some workers are afraid to stand up because of the
retaliation happening. “That’s why AB 257 is so important — it levels the
playing field and gives employees a say in the rules that affect us the
most.”

[ [link removed] ]“Pushing for this bill is something everyone can contribute to with
their voices and their votes,” Moriah said. Sign now if you live in
California!

★ ★ ★

[ [link removed] ][IMG]

Ingrid Vilorio, a worker at Jack-in-the-Box in Castro Valley, CA, spoke on
the [ [link removed] ]organizing call about the deplorable conditions fast-food workers
experience.

In her 10 years in the industry, Ingrid has seen wage theft, stolen time,
harassment, discrimination, grueling hours, etc. Workers lack health
insurance and have multiple jobs to supplement the low wages, she said.

“With AB 257, we’ll be able to speak directly with these corporations,
which are aware of all these problems but do nothing to solve them,”
Ingrid said. “On the contrary, they’re taking advantage of all the
employees every single day.”

[ [link removed] ]Californians: Sign now to stand with Ingrid and Moriah as they fight
for dignity and fairness.

★ ★ ★

[ [link removed] ][IMG]

SEIU Local 1021 President Joseph Bryant, who was newly-elected Executive
VP of SEIU International was moved by Moriah and Ingrid’s stories.

“These workers have been in this fight so long, shown so much fortitude
and courage — they’re why we’re here with a chance to pass legislation to
give half a million workers in CA a voice,” he said.

“If we don’t do anything, nothing is going to change,” Joseph told
thousands gathered on [ [link removed] ]our call. “We’re demanding the state legislature
recognize the sacrifice made by folks in this industry who were touted as
heroes - and they absolutely are, they risked their lives every day to
provide food.”

Joseph said 80% are workers of color and two-thirds are women. A recent
[ [link removed] ]SEIU survey found that 85% of fast-food workers in California were
victims of wage theft from employers denying paid breaks and withholding
overtime pay.

Thanks to the filibuster, Congress has stalled the PRO Act to protect and
empower workers at the federal level, but the Biden Administration has the
power to make sure companies who do business with the U.S. Government
treat their workers with respect.

Our Revolution stands with workers at Maximus — a multi-billion dollar
company with some of the largest federal contracts to run public services.
They’re fighting to unionize with CWA and recently went on strike at the
company’s largest call centers in Louisiana and Mississippi — demanding
healthcare and an end to poverty wages.

On the second day of the strike, they were joined at a town hall by Sen.
Bernie Sanders, US Rep. Andy Levin, Rev. William Barber, and other allies
in this fight to build worker power.

SOLIDARITY.

[ [link removed] ][IMG]

Tonya Jackson of the Maximus Worker Organizing Committee also joined our
[ [link removed] ]National Call to Build Worker Power on Monday, breaking down federal
contract workers’ fight for justice and a union with CWA.

Tonya works at a call center, helping people navigate our healthcare
system every day, yet she and her coworkers can’t afford to access
healthcare for themselves.

“Every single day is a struggle for us on the front lines,” Tonya said.
“Maximus gets diversity awards for hiring us, but that doesn’t protect us
when they’re trying to prevent us from organizing for better wages and
healthcare.”

[ [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 we’re fighting like hell to build worker power. Join us!

BIG WINS IN ILLINOIS!

Our Revolution members and activists worked hard for our Illinois
candidates, and it paid off with major statewide and congressional
victories on Tuesday.

All told, our volunteers made 369,000 voter contacts through phone calls,
texts, and emails. This is how we’re clinching wins against all the big
money spent targeting progressive candidates. Power to the people!

[ [link removed] ][IMG]

Congratulations to Alexi Giannoulias for winning the Illinois Sec. of
State primary race!

Alexi is a staunch defender of democracy who vows to put people first and
stand up to powerful interests.

In a time when our democracy itself is under threat, it’s crucial to have
someone with integrity and progressive ideals like him at the helm. Taking
power in statewide races like this is key to combating the far right.

With our movement and Bernie behind her, Delia Ramirez defeated Chicago
Alderman Gilbert Villegas by a 2-1 vote in Illinois’ 3rd District!

Delia is a founder of Our Illinois Revolution, has been a progressive
fighter in the State House, and we can send her to Congress in November!

As a State Rep, Delia created a housing committee, expanded housing and
Medicaid coverage, co-sponsored the IL Clean Energy and Jobs Act, and
created an elected school board in Chicago.

[ [link removed] ][IMG]

Bernie also joined us in endorsing Jonathan Jackson, who beat out 16 other
Democrats to clinch the nomination and become the next likely congressman
to represent this safe blue district in IL-1.

The son of Rev. Jesse Jackson, Jonathan ran on our popular progressive
issues to fill the seat held 30 years by former Black Panther Bobby Rush.

“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.”

BERNIE ENDORSES ANDY LEVIN

Bernie Sanders joins Our Revolution in endorsing Congressman Andy Levin
for re-election in Michigan’s new 11th District.

“Andy Levin is a strong pro-labor voice in Congress and the only Democrat
in the race who understands that we have to be a party of the working
class,” Bernie said. “He’s not afraid to take on powerful special
interests, and I am proud to stand with him.”

Andy said the endorsement is a major development for his people-powered,
grassroots campaign. “Bernie defied the polls and shocked the political
class when he pulled off a major victory here in Michigan in 2016 because
Bernie and his team know how to organize,” Andy said.

Meanwhile, Andy’s opponent Haley Stevens just canceled their joint
appearance to speak directly to voters opting for an onslaught of ads
instead, paid for by $820K from AIPAC and their far-right funders.

“The right-wing-funded SuperPac has found its newest progressive target in
Andy,” Bernie wrote. “Once again, these extremists are pouring in millions
into a congressional race to try to ensure the Democratic Party advances
the agenda of powerful corporations and the billionaire class.”

Andy remains confident that “with Bernie and our movement, we will send a
strong message that Republican billionaires cannot buy a Democratic
primary, especially not here in Oakland County.”

Our Revolution is backing Del. Sheila Ruth for re-election to the Maryland
State House, District 44B!

In office, Sheila has led the charge in the state for climate action,

She works hard on the important Environment and Transit Committee to
ensure all Marylanders see the environmental, health, and economic
benefits of a well-planned transportation system.

with Greg Casar (TX-35), Summer Lee (PA-12), Jasmine Crockett (TX-30),

we can add Delia Ramirez (IL-3) and Jonathan Jackson (IL-1) to that
growing list of allies!

Even as corporate Dems sabotage their own prospects for the midterms,
we’re growing our power at every level of government. Let’s build on this
momentum and change the composition of power in Washington.

TAKING ACTION FOR ABORTION RIGHTS

Our Revolution and our allies on the frontlines are ramping up pressure on
Democrats to ACT and it’s working. On Thursday, President Biden announced
his support to change the filibuster to codify abortion rights!

Our endorsed candidate for US Congress in NY-3, Melanie D’Arrigo, was
[ [link removed] ]arrested at an action Thursday for civil disobedience in front of the
Supreme Court, protesting its radical ruling overturning Roe v. Wade.

Our Revolution has been in rapid response, holding actions to call for
political leaders to defend abortion rights ever since the Court leaked
their intent — and we’re not stopping.

This weekend, Our Revolution hosted two more events - this time in Red
Bank and Hillsborough, NJ - and our members joined many more
demonstrations across the country.

“It felt great to see many people of all different walks of life come out
and express their views to help us support a human’s right to choose,” Our
Revolution Hillsborough President Didier Jimenez told
[ [link removed] ]CentralJersey.com.

[ [link removed] ][IMG]

Andrea spoke at a press conference Wednesday organized by Planned
Parenthood Action NJ on the horrifying ramifications of the Court’s
decision on the rights to contraception, gay marriage, bi-racial
relationships, and others.

“We can’t regress and lose all the rights that women, minorities, and
immigrants have worked so hard to earn over the decades,” Andrea said. She
was joined by NJ Assemblymembers Sadaf Jaffer and Raj Mukherji, cosponsors
of a bill to expand abortion rights in the state.

[ [link removed] ]We refuse to just watch in horror as women’s healthcare, human rights,
and basic autonomy are decimated. Join our fight right now to help our
movement stem the tide of fascism.

CALLING OUT SENATOR SCHUMER

BRING ANTITRUST BILLS TO A VOTE!

[ [link removed] ]The Washington Post reported on our actions with Fight for Our Future
demanding Senate Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) bring our antitrust bills for
a vote ASAP.

“Amazingly these bills have support in the Senate, we just need Democratic
leaders to ACT,” Our Revolution Long Island organizer Joe Sackman spoke at
the demonstration. “Big Tech companies are monopolizing digital markets
and the online economy — we’ve got to open the gates.”

Protestors chanted: “Hey Chuck: Lead, or Get Out of the Way!”

The American Innovation and Choice Online Act and the Open App Markets Act
would enable fair competition on Big Tech platforms and ban self-dealing.
This is a start to taking back democratic control from these behemoths.

[ [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!
