JAYAPAL ON DEMOCRATIC ACTION & RACES
EXPAND THE SUPREME COURT!

Our Revolution officially endorses US Rep. Pramila Jayapal (WA-7) for
re-election to Congress, where she serves as Chair of the Progressive
Caucus.

Rep. Jayapal joined our [ [link removed] ]National Organizing Call Monday, laying out
concrete actions Democratic leadership can take now to fight for abortion
rights and deliver for our lives.

“Our strength comes in times of crisis. This is a moment for us to
organize,” she said. “We must expand the Supreme Court and hold these
rogue justices to account.”

(More on abortion rights in the ‘Progressive Policies’ section below)

She said progressives are pushing for a higher amount of student debt
cancellation and hope to get it before the moratorium ends on Aug. 31st.
“Another executive action would raise the overtime threshold for pay raise
to 30M workers.”

[ [link removed] ]Dems must use their power to deliver tangible results and earn trust
and votes to stop a red wave in November. Help us maximize pressure on
Washington NOW.

[ [link removed] ][IMG]

The Congressional Progressive Caucus is up to 100 members and Rep. Jayapal
is thrilled to welcome new movement allies we’re helping elect to the US
House – folks like Summer Lee in PA and Delia Ramirez in IL.

“We have a whole slate of candidates across the country destroying the
myth that progressives can’t win in swing districts,” Rep. Jayapal said.
“And, Our Revolution candidates aren’t just progressive, they’re
organizers — we need more organizing on the inside.”

[ [link removed] ]As Rep. Jayapal said: “They want us to get discouraged - we don’t let
that happen.” Become an active member with Our Revolution to keep growing
progressive dominance in Congress.

ZUCKERMAN ENDORSED BY BERNIE — AND US!

Our Revolution joins Bernie in our strong endorsement of David Zuckerman
to return to the post of Lt. Governor of Vermont!

David is an organic regenerative farmer and longtime progressive
independent voice in the VT House and Senate, where he’s led on: economic
justice, marriage equality, cannabis reform, renewable energy, water
quality, universal healthcare, and more.

David said they’ve built a coalition of folks challenging incrementalist
Dems in Vermont to meet the urgency of our times, while also reaching
working-class folks of all stripes.

[ [link removed] ][IMG]

“Bernie inspired me when I was a student in ‘92 — he said exactly what he
believed and didn’t put his finger to the wind,” David said. “Some folks
on the other side actually agree with us, they’re just sick of
mealy-mouthed politicians.”

He said our progressive policy message resonates with folks who feel left
behind. “You used to come out of high school and be able to get a
manufacturing job — that’s all gone.”

“Reaganomics, ‘trickle-down,’ international exploitation of low-wage work
overseas – all made it so decent people can’t put food on the table or a
roof over their head,” David said. “We’re on the ground with folks seeing
their issues and working to solve them.”

social, and environmental justice! Sign up to make calls with our 2022
Phonebank Force to get our progressive message out to the whole country.

Our Revolution is proud to back Marc Elrich - one of our most effective
progressive allies - as he fends off a challenge from a healthcare CEO for
re-election as Montgomery County Executive in Maryland.

“I like doing the work. The most important thing someone can do with their
lives is to be purposeful and make a difference.” Marc told us on our
[ [link removed] ]National Organizing Call Monday night.

Since his election in 2018, Marc has worked hard to make strides on key
priorities of environment, public education, healthcare, and economic
justice — earning him the trust and support of a diverse coalition.

[ [link removed] ][IMG]

In his next term, Marc told us his “goal is to accelerate our climate plan
and push for rent stabilization” — earning him the ire of wealthy
developers seeking taxpayer giveaways.

Marc is proving that “a lefty can not only win but govern so effectively
that voters want to return him to office,” reports [ [link removed] ]FAIR.org. — despite
staunch opposition from the world’s third richest man, Jeff Bezos, and his
newspaper.

Marc was a beloved 5th-grade teacher at Rolling Terrace Elementary, then a
City Council and County Council member. He got his start in the movement
by listening to MLK Jr. speak at the March on Washington and later was
arrested at an anti-apartheid protest.

[ [link removed] ][IMG]

In 2018 - by just 77 votes! - Marc beat out former Healthcare CEO David
Blair, who’s running again on massive ad spends — which we are countering
via direct voter outreach.

Recent polls show Marc with the lead and he has an excellent shot to win
this primary, but we’re mobilizing to power him over the finish line on
Tuesday!

[ [link removed] ]SIGN-UP HERE to call voters for Marc and other great progressive
candidates ready to partner with our movement for positive change.

VOTE TUESDAY FOR SHEILA RUTH

Tuesday is also Election Day for progressive Del. Sheila Ruth who’s vying
for a first full term on the Maryland State Assembly (District 44B)!

Sheila serves on the important Environment and Transit Committee, where
she is working hard for a well-planned transportation system. On our
[ [link removed] ]LIVE Broadcast Monday, she laid out the economic and equity impacts
for poor and marginalized folks in Baltimore.

Sheila is a champion for state-based universal healthcare — “there’s no
reason we can’t get it done in Maryland,” she told us. “And, we must allow
the AG to sue fossil fuel companies for the damage of the climate crisis —
taxpayers shouldn’t be on the hook for that!”

[ [link removed] ]Sign-up to GOTV for Sheila, Marc, and other great candidates! Like
Sheila said: “It’s about building progressive power — we need more of us
in office at the state and local level.”

JOINING LEVIN FOR LABOR RALLY & CLIMATE CANVASS

Our Revolution rallied this weekend with labor unions and climate
activists working to re-elect US Rep. Andy Levin to Congress to represent
Michigan-11.

Our Revolution leader Don Mongrain helped lead a canvassing training for
volunteers hitting the street to knock on every door we can ahead of
Election Day Aug. 2nd!

Our folks were proud to rally and put in the work alongside union leaders
from across the district. On Monday, Andy joined striking workers at the
Bloomfield Hill Nursing Home demanding what they deserve.

[ [link removed] ][IMG]

Members of Our Revolution also joined Andy and climate activists last week
to canvass neighborhoods and let folks know that Andy is THE CLIMATE
CHAMPION in this race.

While his opponent takes fossil fuel money, we know that Rep. Levin - an
original cosponsor of the Green New Deal - is dedicated to good-paying
union jobs and a prosperous green economy.

[ [link removed] ]Join our call team to GOTV for Andy! Bernie sounded the alarm on the
far-right money targeting this race and called on all of us to make sure
we re-elect this critical ally in Congress.

We’re halfway through the 2022 primaries — and we’re still stacking up
major progressive wins for Congress: Greg Casar (TX-35), Summer Lee
(PA-12), Jasmine Crockett (TX-30), Jamie McLeod Skinner (OR-5), Andrea
Salinas (OR-6), Delia Ramirez (IL-3) and Jonathan Jackson (IL-1), and
others!

As corporate Dems sabotage their own prospects for the midterms, we’re
growing progressive power at every level of government so eventually,
we’ll outnumber them — and can override their complacency and complicity
in blocking progress.

Brittany Ramos-DeBarros (NY-11), Andy Levin (MI-11), David Segal (RI-2),
Melanie D’Arrigo (NY-3), and many others!

Our rights are being stripped; climate chaos is intensifying; mass
shootings and police brutality are rampant; and most of us are struggling
to pay for food, gas, housing, healthcare, and, well, everything.

Naturally, the message from Corporate Dems is basically: shut up and vote
harder.

“I don’t believe the President can’t find a way to move two senators in
his own party — the president has the power, the reputation as a
dealmaker,” Our Revolution Political Director Aaron Chappell told [ [link removed] ]The
Hill. “We’ve been yelling about a looming disaster for a while now, and
we’ve tried to be very reasonable.”

“The president had plenty of warning with the leak on Roe v. Wade, and I
think it’s really hard to convince people to come back out with this kind
of response.”

[ [link removed] ][IMG]

Sadly, the quote above is completely on-brand for Corporate Dems to
display such disdain and indifference toward pro-choice Americans doing
the work to defend our rights.

Here’s the deal, Jack: If Dems did their jobs, activism wouldn’t be such
heavy lifting. If they don’t want to do their jobs, then stop kneecapping
progressives who will.

The kicker — President Biden has been in talks with Mitch McConnell to
appoint an [ [link removed] ]anti-abortion judge to a lifetime seat in Kentucky.

[ [link removed] ]It’s time for progressives to take the reins from corporate DNC
puppets. Help us elect better leaders at every level to turn the gears of
government before it’s too late.

WHAT DEMS CAN DO ON ABORTION RIGHTS
EXPAND THE SUPREME COURT - AND MORE

US Rep. Pramila Jayapal called for the expansion of the Supreme Court on
our [ [link removed] ]National Organizing Call on Monday, saying we need more justices
because the court is “another institution that’s broken.”

“I’m signed onto Mondaire Jones’ bill because the Senate is broken by the
filibuster, creating a vacuum for the radical rightwing Supreme Court to
step in and legislate on Roe v Wade, collective bargaining, the EPA, and
more,” Jayapl told us.

US Rep. Mondaire Jones (NY-17) also introduced a bill to institute Supreme
Court ethics and transparency standards, requiring disclosure of lobbying
and dark money interests.

“And, I’ve introduced a bill to codify the right to access to
contraceptives because we know the Supreme Court is going after that
next,” Jayapal told us. Other options: put clinics on federal land, secure
interstate travel, and challenge state bans on pills.

[ [link removed] ]As David Zuckerman told us: it’s because progressives shifted the
power balance in Vermont that Prop 5 is on the ballot to enshrine
reproductive rights. Help us build out progressive power in states across
the country!

★ ★ ★

[ [link removed] ][IMG]

Our Revolution activists have been in the streets making the demand for
action on abortion rights for years - and when the Supreme Court decision
leaked two months ago, we jumped into rapid response mode.

In states across the country, our members have been on the frontlines:
protesting, organizing, and getting vital info out to vulnerable folks in
this time of crisis. We demand the Democratic leadership bring the same
energy to this fight.

Just this past Monday, Our Revolution NJ activists were outside the office
of State Senate President Nicholas Scutari calling for the state’s bill to
expand abortion rights to be passed.

TAX THE RICH - HAMPTONS EDITION!

What a lovely weekend in the Hamptons… where hundreds of us [ [link removed] ]marched on
“Billionaire Row” - pitchforks in hand! - to demand New York TAX THE RICH!

Our Revolution NYPAN and Long Island Activists joined NY Communities for
Change, Extinction Rebellion, and others, calling for billionaire money to
pay for climate action, housing, education, and community investment.

A total of 16 arrests took place as activists blocked roads and the
entrance to an airport for private planes in East Hampton, and stormed a
private beach, [ [link removed] ]Patch.com reported.

WE HAVE A SHOT - CALL YOUR SENATORS

We need YOU to stand up with fast-food workers, Our Revolution, SEIU, and

workers a say in setting health, safety, and employment standards while
holding major food chains accountable.

TAKE ACTION - add your voice in solidarity with worker activists - tell
your state senator to pass AB 257 for greater power and democracy in the
workplace. Let’s not squander this opportunity!

BIRD-DOGGING FOR MEDICARE FOR ALL

Our Revolution M4A Activists are continuously waging the fight and
pressuring members of Congress to commit their votes in favor of Medicare
for All.

In NJ, we flipped Energy and Commerce Chair Rep. Frank Pallone (NJ-6) and
now we’re working on US Rep. Andy Kim (NJ-3) — showing up to his town
halls and calling him to co-sponsor the Medicare for All Act (HR-1976).

So far, the majority of House Dems support the bill, but Rep. Kim
hesitates, citing his fear that future Republican administrations might
revoke it later — why do anything then? We need leaders to take a stand
and press forward.

[ [link removed] ]If you’re in NJ-03, help us amass support and pressure for M4A — we’re
holding rallies, and demonstrations, going to legislative offices, penning
op-eds, gathering petitions, and more!
