Less than 100 days from the midterms, Dems need to deliver. On Tuesday,
voters in Kansas rose up to defend abortion rights and now it seems a
compromise deal has been struck with rightwing Sens. Manchin and Sinema.

“Everyone is looking at this reconciliation bill, and it’s something, but
it’s late and it’s little,” Our Revolution Political Director Aaron
Chappell told [ [link removed] ]Politico. “Is it enough to deal with widespread
frustrations with the president, especially with the progressive base?
We’ll have to see.”

The Inflation Reduction Act is a real mixed bag - investments in clean
energy but more drilling on federal lands, drug price cuts but only a
handful in 2026, stock buyback limits while saving tax loopholes, etc.

Our Revolution is part of a Climate Justice Coalition of 350 groups
[ [link removed] ]urging Biden and Schumer to deny Manchin’s huge giveaway to Big Oil —
toxic drilling provisions written by the American Petroleum Institute,
[ [link removed] ]Common Dreams reports.

Bernie also laid out the good, the bad, and the ugly of the deal in a
[ [link removed] ]senate speech this week — waging the fight for measures on childcare,
homelessness, student debt. He’ll introduce [ [link removed] ]amendments to let Medicare
negotiate drug prices like the VA and eliminate new fossil fuel subsidies.

[ [link removed] ]The only reason the battle for any budget deal is still alive is
because of massive activism and pressure from our progressive movement -
thank you for keeping up the fight for Democrats to Deliver.

US Rep. Rashida Tlaib overcame Big Money to claim victory Tuesday evening,
heading into another term in Congress, representing the people of
Michigan’s 12th District.

Rashida is a bold leader and a champion for progressive legislation in the
US House. We need more elected allies like her willing to speak out in the
fight for justice and equity.

Sadly, US Rep. Andy Levin - a lifelong advocate of working people and
labor organizer - put up a good fight on Tuesday, but couldn’t outmatch
the $11 million from rightwing billionaires and AIPAC.

We won’t take this sitting down, and this isn’t the last we’ll see of
Andy. He isn’t capable of giving up the fight — and neither are we.

Also this week, Our Revolution Michigan notched wins with State Sen. Erika
Geiss, a proud “economic justice warrior” in SD-1, and State Rep. Abraham
Aiyash, a proud “lover of environmental justice” in HD-9.

[ [link removed] ]Join our inside-outside work with elected allies like Rashida, Erika
and Abraham in the fight for living wages, climate action, immigrant
rights, Medicare for All and so much more.

US Rep. Pramila Jayapal dominated in her primary in Washington’s 7th
District on Tuesday - pulling in over 80-percent of the vote!

Rep. Jayapal is on to the general election and will likely keep her seat
in the US House, where she serves as Chair of the Congressional
Progressive Caucus. “Our Revolution candidates aren’t just progressive,
they’re organizers — we need more organizing on the inside,” she said on
our [ [link removed] ]National Organizing Call.

power in Congress. The more of us there are, the more we can accomplish

Tuesday was a big win in Missouri with progressive champion Cori Bush
(MO-1) winning her primary and heading to the November ballot for what
should be an easy re-election!

In 2020, Our Revolution members and volunteers worked to help Cori defeat
10-term corporate incumbent Lacy Clay. Now, Rep. Bush will head into her
second term as a bold progressive ally in Congress.

“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,” Cori told us on our [ [link removed] ]National Organizing
Call.

Election Day is this Tuesday in Minnesota, where progressive champions US
Rep. Ilhan Omar and Our Revolution board member and Attorney General Keith
Ellison are on the ballot!

Leading national voices for the progressive movement, Ilhan is the whip of
the progressive caucus and Keith successfully prosecuted Derek Chauvin for
the murder of George Floyd.

All of Our Revolution’s candidates are also endorsed by Bernie in
Tuesday’s primary in Vermont - Peter Welch for US Senate, Becca Balint for
Congress, and David Zuckerman for Lt. Governor!

“At a time when so many of our people are hurting, we need leaders with
experience who will help lead the fight for economic, racial, social, and
environmental justice,” Bernie said. In Congress, Peter Welch is a
cosponsor of the Green New Deal and he’s led on lowering drug prices,
childcare, rural broadband, and protecting our imperiled democracy.

As VT Senate Majority Leader, Becca Balint passed the first gun safety
laws in state history, invested in affordable housing, and passed the
strongest reproductive rights in the nation.

David Zuckerman is an organic regenerative farmer, father, and small
business owner living in Hinesburg, who has long served as a progressive,
independent voice in the VT House and Senate and as Lt. Governor.

MD RESULTS STILL TRICKLING IN!

Our Revolution Maryland is celebrating Kristin Mink’s victory in the
Montgomery Co. primary and Prince George’s County’s pivot left.

Our members and allies worked to elect Eric Olsen and Wala Blegay to
Prince George’s Council, creating the first progressive council majority.
The Washington Post reports the council will favor residents and tenants
rather than developers and landlords for the first time in many years.

[ [link removed] ][IMG]

The contest for Montgomery Co. Executive remains a dead heat. Progressive
incumbent Marc Elrich now leads Big Pharma CEO David Blair by 154 votes as
of Friday with thousands still to be tallied. Election officials estimate
all ballots may not be counted before August 12th. A recount will very
likely follow.

CALLING OUT CHUCK SCHUMER

BRING ANTITRUST BILLS TO A VOTE!

Our Revolution activists have been bird-dogging Senate Majority Leader
Chuck Schumer on two antitrust bills - which can PASS - and now he’s
agreed to bring them for a Senate vote in September.

The American Innovation and Choice Online Act and the Open App Markets Act
would enable fairer competition on platforms, and ban self-dealing.

Our members and activists have also driven 1300 calls to senators, urging
them to back bills to Bust Big Tech’s monopoly power.

Here’s your last chance to [ [link removed] ]CALL YOUR SENATORS before they go on August
recess to get them to stand up Google, Amazon, Facebook and other
mega-corporations damaging our democracy!

Our Revolution New Jersey is coordinating with 11 unions and labor
organizations in New Jersey are calling on Rep. Andy Kim (NJ-3) to
co-sponsor Medicare for All in Congress.

This is a coalition of low-income workers, immigrant workers, and union
workers from locals CWA, Teamsters, UAWA, and others - as well as
organizations like New Labor, [ [link removed] ]Insider NJ reports.

[ [link removed] ]Labor for Single Payer believes it’s time to take healthcare off the
bargaining table

Through rallies, op-eds, sign-on letters, legislative visits, and more,
our members and allies are keeping up the pressure on Rep. Kim to do the
right thing.

Our Revolution Massachusetts followed up its April Alternatives to
Policing Forum with the Alternative Emergency Response Teams Forum last
Sunday on how unarmed caregivers can generate better outcomes than police.

Earl Miller from Cambridge HEART (Holistic Emergency Alternative Response
Team said Amherst’s Community Responders will take “everything from noise
complaints to non-violent disputes and working with homeless and mentally
challenged folks.”

Barbara Ortiz said HEART prioritizes helping people “right there when they
need it without the barriers of language or filling out papers or online
applications.”

Also last week, Our Revolution NJ joined 25 NJ groups in a statement of
collective opposition to a plan by rightwing Democrat US Rep. Josh
Gottheimer to send even more funding to police departments.

Data shows police are already funded at historically unprecedented levels,
[ [link removed] ]Insider NJ reports, and our members are standing with the ACLU, NAACP,
faith organizations, and a diverse coalition to demand better alternatives
in NJ.
