As details emerge, the latest version of President Biden’s agenda - The
Inflation Reduction Act - is a far cry from the action needed to meet this
moment, but we’re muscling for as much as possible now to crack the door
open for more.

The battle for any budget deal with Joe Manchin is only alive still
because of massive activism and pressure from our progressive movement.

Our Revolution’s strong state and national networks have also been
critical counter forces against sabotage from corporate Dems like US Rep.
Josh Gottheimer in this process.

As a result, some key investments in renewable energy remain for 40%
carbon reduction by 2030 — along with corporate taxes, tax loophole
closures, Medicare drug price reforms, and other meaningful steps we can
build on, [ [link removed] ]The Lever reports.

BERNIE RALLIES w/ ANDY LEVIN + RASHIDA TLAIB

MICHIGAN, MISSOURI AND OTHERS VOTE TUESDAY!

Our Revolution joined Bernie Sanders to rally the progressive movement in
Michigan to VOTE for US Reps. Andy Levin (MI-11) and Rashida Tlaib
(MI-12)!

It was a great night in Pontiac, MI rallying against big money from
rightwing billionaires trying to defeat two of our most committed
progressive allies and halt their work in Congress for Medicare for All, a
Green New Deal, labor rights and more.

“The billionaire class is saying: ‘We own this country and we will not
tolerate dissent. Work for us or get out,’” Bernie told the crowd. “Andy
Levin has chosen not to work for them, and based on his work deserves to
be re-elected. We must tell them they can’t buy our democracy!”

Hundreds of us are knocking doors, making calls, and activating folks to
the polls for Andy and Rashida by Election Day on Tuesday (Aug. 2). If
you’re in Michigan, make a plan to vote — [ [link removed] ]find your polling place here!

US Rep. Ilhan Omar has the full support of Our Revolution and Bernie
Sanders in her bid for re-election to Congress in Minnesota’s 5th
District!

Ilhan has been a leading national voice for the progressive movement and
serves as whip for the Congressional Progressive Caucus.

On our [ [link removed] ]National Organizing Call on Monday she said: “This is a very
heavy time, a very dangerous moment. A lot of work is being done in the
House, but we have a Senate where every good idea dies.”

“That’s why we protested the Supreme Court’s decision overturning Roe and
got arrested — we have to keep this issue in the spotlight and move with
urgency,” she said.

[ [link removed] ][IMG]

Ilhan said progressives in Congress are actively pushing the president for
executive actions for abortion access, climate action, canceling student
debt, and more.

“We’re pressing forward,” she said. “I know people are tired of being
asked to vote, but we need the right people in the right offices for the
right legislation to pass.”

Ilhan called us to out-organize big money interests targeting progressives
like her across the country. “The onslaught of dangerous TV ads is a
detriment, so we truly appreciate you all being foot soldiers and having
conversations with people.”

Sign up to make calls and send Ilhan reinforcements to join her in
Congress as part of our 2022 Phonebank Force!

Our Revolution is also proudly backing progressive champion Sarah Blas for
NYS Senate in District 23.

Last year, Sarah was elected to the Community Education Council (D-31),
and now she’s running for State Senate to carry on her fight for digital
equity, education, housing, healthcare and more.

Sarah’s first home in Staten Island was a domestic violence shelter before
her family moved into New York City Housing, where she remains a proud
resident — and she’d be the first member of the state legislature to live
in NYCHA.

[ [link removed] ][IMG]

Sarah believes legislation should be crafted by those who are most
impacted by the outcomes.

“Our lived experience matters, it’s time we say no to elected officials
raising money from corporations,” Sarah said on Monday’s [ [link removed] ]National
Organizing Call. “We need folks who will show up where it counts.”

candidates in NY like Melanie D’Arrigo and Brittany Ramos DeBarros ahead

Gustavo Rivera has Our Revolution’s endorsement for re-election to the NY
State Senate in District 33.

Sen. Rivera has been a great progressive ally in his time in office so
far. Most importantly, as chair of the Senate Health Committee, he is a
main sponsor and steadfast champion of the New York Health Act — which
would create a system of universal, single-payer healthcare in the state.

New York Progressive Action Network (NYPAN) - Our Revolution’s State
chapter - is also working to re-elect Gustavo. [ [link removed] ]Join our Bronx Chapter

CLIMATE RALLY w/ ANDY LEVIN

Our Revolution joined US Rep. Andy Levin on Monday for a rally and climate
canvas in Michigan’s 11th district, where he’s on the ballot Tuesday for
re-election.

Our Revolution Michigan leader and DNC Climate Council Chair Michelle
Deatrick spoke at the event on the need for collective action in
partnership with elected allies like Andy, who was an original cosponsor
of the Green New Deal.

Last week, Andy was arrested alongside 17 Congresswomen demonstrating for
women’s rights outside the Supreme Court and again the next day with
unionizing cafeteria workers at the US Senate.

tonight in Michigan!

$3.3M in attack ads are flooding the airwaves against US Rep. Andy Levin,
paid for by rightwing billionaire-funded superPACs like AIPAC’s “United
Democracy Project” — which is supporting 109 insurrectionists!

A veteran labor organizer, Andy’s inside-outside governing with working
people has made him a target of corporate spending. It has also made him
“by far the best labor member of the House and a progressive with an
amazing environmental record,” Our Revolution Chair Larry Cohen told
[ [link removed] ]The Nation.

[ [link removed] ][IMG]

The top issues driving Democratic voters right now include rising prices,
abortion rights, gun violence and threats to democracy, but AIPAC - the
top spender in Democratic primaries, is singularly focused on Israel,
[ [link removed] ]Politico reports.

Yet, AIPAC rarely mentions Israel in their barrage of ads — spending $22M
this cycle so far against candidates like Rashida Tlaib, Cori Bush, Nina
Turner, Jessica Cisneros, and others.

The SuperPAC takes massive amounts from Trump-aligned billionaires and
says it’s now setting its sights on New York, where Our Revolution
candidates are on the ballot Aug. 23rd.

“That people with vast resources can come in and, for a million dollars a
week, run unaccountable dark money to try to change the outcome of a
Democratic primary — it’s a real threat to our democracy,” Andy said.

[ [link removed] ]Not all Democrats are alike, as billionaire donors and corporate
interests are well aware. Our movement also knows what’s at stake — join
us to fight back.

VOTE FOR CORI BUSH TUESDAY!

Tuesday is a big election day in Missouri, too, with progressive champion
Cori Bush (MO-1) on the ballot for re-election!

In 2020, Our Revolution members and volunteers worked to help Cori defeat
10-term corporate incumbent Lacy Clay. Since then, Rep. Bush has been a
steadfast progressive ally in Congress.

“If we want a brighter future for our country and our world, we need to
make change that people can feel,” Cori told us on our [ [link removed] ]National
Organizing Call. “We build power by getting more of us in there who are
willing to put our minds, our bodies and our reputations on the line to
deliver equity and justice for our communities.”

WINS + SUPER-CLOSE RACES IN MARYLAND

Mail-in ballots are still being counted in Maryland, but Our Revolution
Baltimore Co-Chair Sheila Ruth (D-44B) has won her Baltimore County race
for a full-term in the House of Delegates!

The contest for Montgomery County Executive is a dead heat. Long-time Our
Revolution Maryland member Marc Elrich, who is seeking re-election, trails
Big Pharma CEO David Blair by 21 votes with votes remaining to be tallied
and a recount likely.

Our Revolution Maryland is celebrating Brooke Lierman’s win in the
Comptroller’s race as well as the victories of two State Organizing
Committee members - Carlos Childs and Ed Fischman - for Democratic Central
Committee seats in Charles and Montgomery counties.

And, many of the most progressive General Assembly members are winning or
have won. Congratulations to Sens. Jill Carter and Clarence Lam and Dels.

David Moon, Emily Shetty, Jared Solomon, Vaughn Stewart, and Jheanelle

CALLING OUT CHUCK SCHUMER BRING ANTITRUST BILLS TO A VOTE!

Our Revolution activists protested with allies outside a Chuck Schumer’s
fundraiser on Tuesday demanding the Senate Majority Leader bring two
passable antitrust bills for a vote ASAP.

The American Innovation and Choice Online Act and the Open App Markets Act
would help bust Big Tech monopoly power, enable fairer competition on
platforms, and ban self-dealing.

Schumer hid out inside the DC hotel and later dodged us out a back door.
[ [link removed] ]NY POST reported: “The unusual game of cat-and-mouse featured
advocates from Fight for the Future, Our Revolution, the American Economic
Liberties Project and Demand Progress — one dressed up as Mr. Monopoly
with a $100M faux check for “Protecting Big Tech.”

[ [link removed] ][IMG]

We’re driving so many calls to Schumer, he shut off the voicemail at his
DC office — very democratic of him. So NOW we’re calling his NY office,
and we need you to help us flood that inbox demanding he do his job and

STAFFERS TURN UP CLIMATE HEAT ON SCHUMER, BIDEN

Speaking of Schumer - 16 congressional staffers of progressive House
members held a sit-in at his DC office on Monday, demanding climate action
from the Senate Majority Leader, [ [link removed] ]Axios reports.

Schumer had six of the staffers arrested, but one of their demands - to
reopen climate talks with Manchin - actually materialized two days later!

“I’m not just supportive, I’m damn proud of the staff who were arrested
protesting Schumer’s office for climate,” Ilhan Omar said on our [ [link removed] ]live
broadcast on Monday.

[ [link removed] ]The Lever reports a total of 165 staffers at federal health and
environmental agencies and 75 congressional offices issued a [ [link removed] ]letter to
both Schumer and President Biden urging more aggressive tactics before
it’s too late.

Our Revolution is part of a large chorus of progressives and
environmentalists demanding Biden declare a Climate Emergency and take
executive action.

generations curse us for the most?

Charly Carter of Democracy Initiative joined our [ [link removed] ]National Organizing
Call on Monday to lay out a path toward reversing “a well-coordinated,
well-funded multi-prong attack on our rights.”

Democracy Initiative is a coalition of 75 national organizations from
every corner of the movement - labor, civil rights, environmental justice,
women’s rights, and more - coming together to expand our democracy for a
government that works for all of us.

The outrage of the Uvalde shooting forced 15 Republicans to vote for the
first gun legislation in decades. “That’s a roadmap to filibuster changes,
abortion rights and more,” Charly said. “We see a crack and now we keep
applying pressure — we can’t afford to turn down the heat!”

a rogue rightwing Supreme Court. Join us to demand Democratic leadership
bring the same energy to this fight.

BAR TRUMP FROM THE BALLOT

Our Revolution and our partners at Free Speech for People are urging
election officials in each state to keep Trump off the ballot.

We wrote to Massachusetts Secretary of the Commonwealth William Galvin,
arguing Trump is constitutionally disqualified from re-election based on
his actions in the January 6 Capitol riots, [ [link removed] ]CommonWealth Magazine
reported this week.

“There is no constitutional requirement that Congress, a court, or anyone
else formally adjudicate this question before you may decide his
eligibility for the ballot,” our letter reads. It’s no different from
excluding a presidential candidate who is underage.
