A Special Message: CRUNCH TIME!

This is it! We have 31 days left to win the 2022 election. It’s the final
stretch of the midterm election cycle, and we have plenty of work to do.

Our candidates are facing millions being spent against them by dark money
outside groups hellbent on stopping our progress. We can never match
corporate spending, but we can fight back with progressive people power!

Read our newsletter below, learn about the work we are doing, and
VOLUNTEER to get our candidates over the finish line.

[ [link removed] ]YOU CAN HELP US STAND UP FOR DEMOCRACY AND DEFEAT EXTREMISTS UP AND
DOWN THE BALLOT VOLUNTEER FOR A PHONE BANK SHIFT TODAY!

Unlike other groups that cold call likely voters every two years, we are
calling Our Revolution members across the country.

We have identified over 8.5 million progressive voters, and our job is to
make sure we get these progressives out to the polls.

These phone conversations with fellow progressives are fun, and our staff
is on hand to make the experience super easy!

RE-ELECT KEITH ELLISON!

Over the past couple of days, Bernie Sanders joined US Reps. Ilhan Omar
and Pramila Jayapal to travel across Minnesota and [ [link removed] ]rally support for
Keith Ellison in his tough re-election bid against a radical right-wing
extremist!

Our Revolution’s grassroots volunteers are going all-out to get out the
vote for Keith. We’ve got 147,000 Our Revolution supporters in Minnesota
and we’re making sure we communicate with them using our winning turnout
model that includes personal phone calls, texting, direct mail, and social
media outreach.

Our Phone Bank Force has already made 41,163 phone calls to our members in
Minnesota, and we’re getting ready to launch a massive campaign to send
100,000 texts.

[ [link removed] ][IMG]

Not only that, we’re also sending a postcard to 65,000 households of Our
Revolution members with a simple message: The choice is clear.

While Keith is going after corporate criminals who are price-gouging their
customers and stealing worker wages, his opponent wants to defund
corporate law enforcement altogether and take away women’s reproductive
rights.

[ [link removed] ][IMG]

Doing the people’s work earns you powerful enemies, and Keith is in a
fight to the finish. Can you step up to help re-elect Keith Ellison?

Progressives like Rep. Cori Bush and Rashida Tlaib asked Our Revolution
members to help send reinforcements to grow progressive power in the House
— and that’s exactly what we’re doing!

The Washington Post noted this week that our movement is on track to
dramatically expand the ranks of progressives in the House with Our
Revolution-endorsed candidates like Greg Casar, Jasmine Crockett, Jonathan
Jackson and other primary winners likely to win in the general election.

Our Revolution isn’t playing it safe, though — our volunteers are also
working to win priority competitive races for progressives including Jamie
McLeod-Skinner in Oregon’s 5th District and Michelle Vallejo in Texas’
15th!

HOLDING CORPORATIONS ACCOUNTABLE!

Our Revolution isn’t just working to win big federal races, we’re also
campaigning to elect progressives in often overlooked — but very important
— down-ballot races.

Last week, we announced our endorsement of Lauren Kuby for the Arizona
Corporations Commission, and this week we are adding Sandra Kennedy to our
slate in Arizona!

The Commission regulates investor-owned or privately-owned utilities that
provide gas, water, electricity, or telephone service to Arizona
residents. They also ensure that transmission lines, pipelines, and water
pipes are operated safely, which is critical to protect our communities
and our environment.

[ [link removed] ]Join us to ensure that these progressive candidates for Arizona
Corporation Commission make it across the finish line in November to
protect consumers and the environment in the Copper State!

Our Revolution has endorsed Adam Morfeld, Sean Flowerday and Rick Vest in
Lancaster County, Nebraska!

State Senator Adam Morfeld served on the Education and Judiciary
Committees where he was dedicated to criminal justice issues and school
policy. He is now running for County Attorney against the Republican
incumbent.

Commissioner Sean Flowerday has helped welcome wind and solar energy
development and spearhead infrastructure for highways and bridges after
the 2019 bomb cyclone and flooding.

And last but not least, Commissioner Rick Vest has prioritized criminal
justice reform and green energy initiatives. He fought for renewable
energy and won — preventing the county from zoning against windmills.

It’s important to have strong progressives like Morfeld, Flowerday, and
Vest in state and local offices, where the decisions are made closest to
the people.

We need to elect progressives up and down the ballot this election.

We’re raising $300K for our [ [link removed] ]Swing State Fund to FLIP TWO SENATE SEATS
in Wisconsin and Pennsylvania.

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

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

[ [link removed] ][IMG]

Our Revolution volunteers will use our proven electoral turnout model to
mobilize our list of 413,251 voters. Our research shows if we connect with
each voter 4 times — by phone, text, mail, social media, and door-knocking
— we can boost turnout by 11 percent and make a decisive difference in
tight races.

ACTIVIST SPOTLIGHT

Our Revolution member Lore Rosenthal re-joined our phone bank team after a
two-year hiatus from volunteering. She last phone banked for Senators
Warnock and Ossoff in 2020. The gratifying feeling of being part of a
winning campaign led Lore back to make calls to help us elect John
Fetterman to the Senate.

Lore, who is part of Our Revolution Prince George's County, MD said that
she is "thrilled to be able to work with the OR team to grow progressive
representation in the Senate!"

You can join Lore by helping make calls with Our Revolution’s massive GOTV
Phonebank Force to make sure John wins BIG in Pennsylvania! We have a
chance to elect a progressive and defeat that elitist hack Dr. Oz — does
it get any better than that?

OH SUPREME COURT!

Our Revolution Ohio held canvases last week for Judge Terri Jamison
(center), a locally endorsed candidate for Ohio State Supreme Court.
Dozens of OROH members came out to knock on doors and talk to voters about
the importance of having a progressive champion on the state’s highest
judicial body.

Our Revolution joined a [ [link removed] ]virtual Town Hall with US Rep. Jamie Raskin
and other movement partners to organize grassroots-led actions NOW, ahead
of the release of the January 6th report.

“The hearings are important, but Congress only has the power to
investigate, not to prosecute,” OR Executive Director Joseph Geevarghese
said. “That power falls to us, we have the power to hold the
insurrectionists accountable.”

That’s why Our Revolution is joining with Public Citizen and other groups
to defend our democracy by holding actions across the country. There are
already 68 events planned, including one this Sunday, Oct. 9th in
[ [link removed] ]Houston. We hope you’ll sign up for a rally or event near you!

* Oct. 14 - [ [link removed] ]Brooklyn, NY
* Oct. 15 - [ [link removed] ]Cleveland, OH
* Oct. 19 - [ [link removed] ]Harrisburg, PA
* Oct. 20 - [ [link removed] ]Wash, D.C., [ [link removed] ]Philly, PA, and [ [link removed] ]Phoenix, AZ

As the NLRB calls out Starbucks’ union-busting, Rep. Ro Khanna is leading
a call for the company to work with workers fighting to organize a union
at 200+ locations across the country. 30 fellow US Representatives have
joined him, including David Cicilline, Rashida Tlaib, and Pramila Jayapal,
[ [link removed] ]MarketWatch reports.

Unfortunately, the National Labor Relations Board is currently underfunded
and understaffed. With Starbucks hiring dozens of union-busting lawyers to
fight the workers' efforts every step of the way, we need to level the
playing field for workers.

[ [link removed] ]Join us in calling on Congress to fully fund the NLRB in the next
government funding bill so that workers have a chance to win!

RALLY WITH AMAZON WORKERS!

Our Revolution: NY Progressive Action Network will hold a rally for Amazon
warehouse workers in Albany, NY at 1pm ET next Monday, October 10 ahead of
their union vote set to run from October 12-17. Given that [ [link removed] ]there was a
FIRE in the warehouse this week, we’re sounding the alarm to stand with
workers who are organizing a union to improve health and safety in their
workplaces.

Earlier this month, Amazon lost a key battle in its attempt to reverse the
union’s victory at a Staten Island warehouse. An NLRB official recommended
Amazon’s objections be rejected in full and the union be certified,
[ [link removed] ]NPR reports.

Sign up to join Our Revolution as we stand with Amazon Labor Union and
demand the mega-corporation recognize the union and negotiate a fair
contract!

VICTORY!

This week, President Biden — a long-time tough on crime guy — announced
mass pardons for people convicted on federal marijuana charges. The move
comes after Our Revolution supported Bernie, Elizabeth Warren and other
progressive Senators who issued a [ [link removed] ]letter in July calling on Biden to
“issue pardons to all individuals convicted of nonviolent cannabis-related
offenses.” When we organize, we win!

“YOUR FIGHT IS OUR FIGHT!”

The Hillsborough Education Association and Our Revolution Hillsborough, NJ
partnered to organize a “Solidarity BBQ” to highlight the need to stand
with workers and support their fight for fair wages, benefits, and a voice
on the job. Local worker champions and State Assembly members Sadaf Jaffer
and Roy Freiman also joined the event.
