URGENT FIGHT!

[ [link removed] ][IMG]

On Thursday, Our Revolution teamed up with Greenpeace for a Special LIVE
[ [link removed] ]Town Hall to Stop Manchin’s Dirty Deal — joined by US Rep. Ro Khanna
and environmental leaders to mobilize action to pressure Congress!

“I’m with Bernie. I’m a no-vote on any continuing resolution with this
deal attached,” Ro said last night. “This would sacrifice frontline
communities and expedite fossil fuel projects. No.”

Manchin’s backroom deal would also cancel out the climate steps Democrats
are now celebrating in the Inflation Reduction Act!

“The IRA was the compromise,” Ro said. “And, frankly, we need more people
to say what Bernie Sanders and I are saying, which is we’re going to vote
no if push comes to shove on this.”

[ [link removed] ]Stand with Bernie and Ro to call on your Reps to reject this dirty deal
and take a stand for people and the planet.

Manchin’s dirty deal is a wishlist literally written by fossil fuel
lobbyists, and he wants Chuck Schumer to attach it to a must-pass bill to
fund the government — which will be voted on by the House before Sept. 30!

We can’t let Manchin hold us hostage.

He already killed the most impactful climate portions of the Democratic
agenda and Manchin got plenty of fossil fuel favors in the Inflation
Reduction Act — we don’t owe Joe Manchin anything!

[ [link removed] ][IMG]

Ro said he doesn’t want a government shutdown, but this deal must be
stopped.

“The only way we stop this is if we organize and if progressives in
Congress stick together to make it clear, like myself and Sen. Sanders, to
say it’s a firm no-vote if the side deal is there.”

“Progressives are willing to have a conversation about expediting clean
energy, but it’s not going to be in the next 15 days under threat of
shutting down the government and at the expense of frontline communities.”

Greenpeace USA Chief Program Officer Tefere Gebre said on our [ [link removed] ]Town
Hall plainly that this deal will “sacrifice lives, silence our voices, and
sideline our climate goals.”

“The science is clear. If we want a habitable planet, we cannot afford
this dirty deal,” Tefere said. “We already paid an incredibly high price
for the fossil fuel handouts in the IRA - we can and must stop this deal.”

He reminded us: “Remember Joe Manchin promised to vote for Build Back
Better, and he walked away from that deal. We don’t owe him anything.”

Grace Tuttle of Protect Our Water, Heritage, Rights (POWHR) told us on our
[ [link removed] ]Town Hall of the Appalachian Resistance that went to DC last week —
rallying and meeting with more than 50 members of Congress to lobby
against the deal.

“We were not at the table when this dirty deal was negotiated so we’re
taking the fight directly to the source,” Grace said. “Frontline
communities are already making so many sacrifices, we’re not compromising
anymore.”

She laid out the stakes for the dangerous Mountain Valley Pipeline in
Manchin’s state of WV and dispelled the myth that even some elected
climate champions were believing that the deal would be good for renewable
energy — it won’t.

“There are still many members of Congress that need more convincing,”
Grace said. “We need all of you to reach out to your Reps!”

Naadiya Hutchinson, Government Affairs Manager WE ACT Environmental
Justice, also joined our [ [link removed] ]Town Hall to Stop Manchin's Dirty Deal.

Naadiya explained how the deal prioritizes fossil fuel projects for
federal funding and guts tools like the National Environmental Policy Act
(NEPA) that frontline communities use to seek redress and justice through
the courts.

“The environmental justice movement is founded in equity,” Naadiya said.
“There is no equity in fast-tracking fossil fuel projects, excluding our
communities, curtailing the democratic process, and poisoning our
communities again and again.”

Our Revolution is in coalition with frontline communities and 650
environmental justice groups like Greenpeace to kill Joe Manchin’s side
deal for more dirty oil favors.

So far, 77 US House Reps have signed onto a [ [link removed] ]letter led by US Rep. Raul
Grijalva - but we need more of our representatives in Congress to stand in
opposition.

[ [link removed] ]CALL YOUR HOUSE REP

* Don’t fast-track new gas or oil projects
* Don’t fast-track carbon pipelines
* Don’t cut safeguards for impacted communities
* Separate the deal from the must-pass bill to fund the government
* Sign on to US Rep. Grijalva’s letter

Our Revolution has a blueprint for the Midterms, and we’ve launched our
Swing State Fund to power our GOTV machine and mobilize millions of voters
in November.

This election is an opportunity to sink or swim — descend into a
right-wing extremist nightmare — OR — fight like hell to build on our work
and progress.

We have a plan to defeat the far right and flip senate seats in
Pennsylvania and Wisconsin by electing progressives like John Fetterman
and Mandela Barnes. Let’s grow our power to cancel-out Manchin and Sinema.

[ [link removed] ][IMG]

With a goal of $300,000 for our [ [link removed] ]Swing State Fund — $200K in PA and
$100K in WI — we can reach half a million voters and FLIP TWO SENATE
SEATS.

Reaching these funding goals — or not — will determine if we get John
Fetterman or Dr. Oz and if Mandela Barnes replaces Ron Johnson in WI — if
we cancel out Manchin and Sinema or if we face a new MAGA majority.

The stakes couldn’t be higher, and there’s a real danger that many
progressive, working-class voters will not be motivated to turn out.

Our Revolution-backed Megan Green has won and is on to the general for
President of the St. Louis Board of Aldermen!

Megan won because voters recognized her willingness to stand up against
special interests. “Anyone willing to go against the status quo has got my
vote,” a voter for Green was quoted in [ [link removed] ]STL Today.

“If I win, I’ll be the link we need in St. Louis - progressives will hold
the power seats to move forward our agenda,” Megan told us on our recent
[ [link removed] ]National Call.

Megan was a Bernie delegate in 2016 and we were proud to help elect her to
the board in St. Louis, where she’s fought for a higher minimum wage,
reproductive freedom, domestic violence protections, legal marijuana, and
more.

[ [link removed] ]Make calls for Megan this weekend!

WE GOT M4A ON THE BALLOT IN WISCONSIN!

Our Revolution and our state and local chapters are fighting for Medicare
for All — even getting in on the ballot in rural counties!

Our Wisconsin Revolution mobilized community members in rural Dunn County
to urge county supervisors to ask voters themselves if they want a
universal, nonprofit healthcare system.

As reported in [ [link removed] ]Common Dreams, a range of residents including Our
Wisconsin Revolution Co-Chair Steve Carlson testified that our current
for-profit system is leaving millions of rural Americans without access to
care or in deep debt.

The Dunn County Supervisors - who include Our Wisconsin Revolution staffer
John Calabrese (D-14) and Our Wisconsin Revolution volunteer Monica
Berrier (D-13) - agreed unanimously to include the question on the
November 8 ballot.

Now, Our Wisconsin Revolution Executive Director Andre Walton says they’re
gearing up for the “Say Yes” campaign in Dunn County and working with
activists in Washburn, Douglas, and Portage counties to place similar
referenda on ballots in the spring.

Our Revolution NYPAN joined the 2022 Labor Day Parade in NYC last week —
collecting more than 130 signatures in support of the NY Health Act!

“We expressed our solidarity with our labor family and shared how taking
health insurance off the negotiating table will help unions fight for
higher wages, and better conditions,” said Our Revolution Organizing
Coordinator Anna-Marta Visky.

After years of grinding negotiations with the railroad monopoly bosses in
pursuit of paid sick leave and less grueling scheduling, more than 100,000
union rail workers will decide whether to accept or reject a deal that
came down on Thursday.

Our Revolution Chair Larry Cohen told [ [link removed] ]Bloomberg he believes the White
House’s attention to the dispute and the railroad companies’ difficulty
retaining employees mean workers will still have leverage even if the deal
is approved.

Larry, who’s the former president of the Communications Workers of
America, said they’re likely to say, “we made some progress on our issues
about our working life, and we’re getting a lot of money in exchange for
the hardships of this job. And we want to show that we work with this
government.”

In [ [link removed] ]The Nation this week, progressive DNC member and Our Revolution
ally James Zogby laid out the fight ahead as we work to Ban Dark Money
from Democratic Primaries.

Last week, Judith Whitmer, chair of the Nevada Democratic Party, presented
our resolution on behalf of our coalition of 33 DNC members — but the
committee blocked it.

“Our elections are not for sale. Every voice in our party deserves an
equal say, and every vision deserves a free and fair chance. Our democracy
is only as strong as the public’s faith in it. It’s up to our party to
lead by example,” Judith said.

Banning dark money is vital to the future of our democracy, we will not be
defeated.

“We will return at the DNC winter meeting with stronger support—more
endorsements from DNC members, members of Congress, and Democrats
nationwide,” Zogby writes. “Because we now know how the game is being
played, we will work to ensure a debate and a vote on this critical
issue.”

“The stakes are too high for Democrats—and democracy—to let our party’s
primaries turn into auctions won by the highest bidder,” he said.

[ [link removed] ]Become a recurring donor to Our Revolution today and build our
strength to take on the DNC. We see how dark money targets progressive
candidates, and it must be stopped.
