BERNIE vs MANCHIN
Bernie Sanders [ [link removed] ]called out Joe Manchin by name on live TV for
“sabotaging the Democratic agenda” again this week – killing a package to
address climate, tax the rich, and cut child poverty and drug prices.
Party leaders would be wise to follow Bernie’s lead, stand up to this
literal coal baron, and actually deliver for folks ahead of November —
when fascism will be on the ballot.
We can’t afford the weakness of Democratic leadership, pretending that
Manchin is negotiating in good faith or representing the people of West
Virginia who actually want and need these critical common sense measures.
[ [link removed] ]Get active in Our Revolution now to demand action from the party in
power and elect progressives to make Manchin irrelevant!

DEL. SHEILA RUTH LEADS!
Progressive Del. Sheila Ruth is in the lead to be elected to serve her
first full term on the Maryland State Assembly (District 44B)!
Serving on the Environment and Transit Committee, Sheila is working hard
to achieve the positive economic and equity impacts that a well-planned
transportation system would make in the Baltimore region.
Sheila is championing state-based universal healthcare and told us on our
[ [link removed] ]LIVE Broadcast last week how fossil fuel companies must pay for the
climate crisis — “taxpayers shouldn’t be on the hook for that!”
[ [link removed] ]Sign-up as a sustaining member of Our Revolution to help elect more
candidates like Sheila up and down the ballot!

[ [link removed] ][IMG]
Also in Maryland, ballots are still being counted in a very [ [link removed] ]tight race
between incumbent Montgomery County Executive Marc Elrich, and healthcare
CEO David Blair.
Like Sheila Ruth, Elrich is a long-time progressive champion and Our
Revolution Maryland member.
Since his election in 2018, Marc has worked hard to make strides on key
priorities of housing, environment, public education, healthcare, and
economic justice.
“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.

progressive candidates ready to partner with our movement for change.

In Vermont, Our Revolution joins Bernie in backing Peter Welch in his run
for U.S. Senate!
Peter fought housing discrimination in Chicago, was a public defender in
the Upper Valley and has represented Vermont in Congress since 2007.
In the US House, Peter co-sponsored the Green New Deal and is a leader for
lower drug costs, affordable childcare, rural broadband, and protecting
democracy.
Peter is committed to unions, frontline workers, veterans, reproductive
rights, and rebuilding the middle class.

Becca Balint is also endorsed by both Our Revolution and Bernie Sanders,
and she’s running to represent all of Vermont in Congress!
As a parent and public school teacher, Becca won her seat on the State
Senate in 2014. She became the first openly gay Majority Leader and passed
the first gun safety laws in Vermont history.
Becca also delivered the largest investment in affordable housing in a
generation, and passed the strongest reproductive rights in the nation.

CLIMATE RALLY w/ JANE FONDA & ANDY LEVIN
We have no time to waste on climate. Our Revolution invites you to rally
with Jane Fonda and US Rep. Andy Levin, one of our best climate champions,
running for re-election in MI-11.
The event kicks off at 4 pm Monday in Royal Oak, MI, and Jane Fonda will
speak alongside OR Michigan leader and DNC Climate Council Michelle
Deatrick and others.
A climate canvass will follow, and Our Revolution volunteers will be on
hand with free T-shirts — let’s knock on every door ahead of Election Day
Aug. 2nd!
While Big Oil and rightwing billionaires fund ads for Andy’s opponent,
we’re reaching voters directly! An original cosponsor of the Green New
Deal, Andy is dedicated to ending the climate crisis through a prosperous
green economy.
[ [link removed] ]RALLY WITH JANE & ANDY!
Last week, Andy was arrested two days in a row: on Tuesday as the only man
from the US House to be detained demonstrating for women’s rights outside
the Supreme Court and on Wednesday with unionizing [ [link removed] ]cafeteria workers
at the US Senate.
[ [link removed] ]Andy is the REAL DEAL. 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.
[ [link removed] ]Become a recurring donor TODAY to help us take down the worst
corporate Dems in these primaries and give voters the most electable AND
progressive candidates in November!

WE NEED CLIMATE ACTION NOW
Our Revolution is part of a large chorus of progressives and
environmentalists demanding President Biden declare a Climate Emergency
and take executive action.
As we see unprecedented, record heat waves across this country — and the
globe — oil companies, Republican puppets, and corporate Dems are
preventing Congress from saving lives.
We want to hear from you! How many yachts for Joe Manchin are worth the
millions of deaths from impending climate catastrophe? What will future
generations curse us for the most?
Take our climate survey now to tell us what you think.

SQUAD ARRESTED FOR ABORTION RIGHTS
On Tuesday, progressive House members were arrested outside of the Supreme
Court protesting for abortion rights.
US Reps. Ilhan Omar, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Cori Bush, and a total of
17 members were [ [link removed] ]arrested — including Rep. Andy Levin, the only male
House member there in solidarity.
Ilhan also wrote an op-ed in [ [link removed] ]The Nation this week, laying out actions
to rein in a rightwing court that has gone rogue, such as term limits for
SCOTUS judges, expanding the court, and ending the filibuster.
[ [link removed] ]Our Revolution activists have been in the streets in rapid response
for abortion rights. Join us to demand Democratic leadership bring the
same energy to this fight.

CALLING OUT SENATOR SCHUMER
BRING ANTITRUST BILLS TO A VOTE!
Our Revolution stands with more than a dozen Congressional Progressive
Caucus leaders calling on Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer to bring
key antitrust bills for a vote ASAP.
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,
The Verge reports.
The sooner the Senate votes, the better — put it on the floor and dare
suddenly “undecided” Dems like Sen. Jon Ossoff (D-GA) to vote it down.
There are even some Republicans ready to vote yes.
Add your voice and demand a Senate vote!

M4A - FROM THE BOTTOM UP
A big thank you to Public Citizen which highlighted the role of Our
Revolution in getting more than 100 resolutions passed by local
governments in support of Medicare for All.
Our activists have worked to pressure cities and counties across the
country to adopt these resolutions — including the latest one in Denton,
TX! — generating media coverage and a groundswell for M4A.
“Denton’s victory brought the most social media presence so far with
dozens expressing pride that theirs was the first city in Texas to declare
support for Medicare for All,” Public Citizen writes.
[ [link removed] ]Join as an activist, volunteer, or recurring donor of Our Revolution
to keep building our fight for Medicare for All on every terrain.

WORKPLACE DEMOCRACY IN CALIFORNIA
WE HAVE A SHOT - CALL YOUR SENATORS
We need YOU to stand up with fast-food workers, Our Revolution, SEIU, and
Fight for $15 and a Union to demand the California State Senate pass
AB-257 - The FAST Recovery Act. This bill would give these essential
workers a say in setting health, safety, and employment standards while
holding major food chains accountable.
[ [link removed] ]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!
