CRUNCHTIME FOR KEY RACES

Key races like John Fetterman’s in PA are tightening as the far right
pours hundreds of millions into spreading lies about our candidates. It’s
our job to undercut their expensive ads by directly engaging with voters
on the issues that affect their lives.

That’s why Our Revolution is hitting the ground to knock on doors and
hitting the phones to send more than a million calls and texts as part of
our massive GOTV operation.

As OR Executive Director Joseph Geevarghese said on [ [link removed] ]The Jeff Santos
Show on Thursday: “What cuts through the rightwing propaganda, the crime
narrative, etc. is pocketbook issues. Our progressive economic populist
agenda is what resonates — and that’s the message we’re taking directly to
voters.”

[ [link removed] ][IMG]

“People are concerned with putting food on the table and a roof over their
heads, with healthcare and sending their kids to college,” Joseph said.
“With candidates like John Fetterman and Mandela Barnes, we can
authentically say ‘these are progressives that are going to go to the mat
for the policies that will improve your life’.”

We have a chance to send Bernie progressive reinforcements in the Senate,
defeat the far right, and cancel out the influence of corporate Dems like
Manchin and Sinema. With just 24 days to Election Day, let’s do everything
we can right now to clinch wins in these critical races!

Our work to flip Senate seats couldn’t be more vital — the race between
John Fetterman and Dr. Oz is getting tighter and Mandela Barnes is in a
dead heat with right-wing extremist Ron Johnson.

We’re raising $300K to power our voter turnout model to mobilize our list
of 413,251 voters in the two states. Our Revolution phone bankers have
already called more than 21,000 voters in PA and Wisconsin!

This is the concrete work that can make the decisive difference in these
tight races. [ [link removed] ]Donate to our Swing State Fund today!

Our research shows that if we connect with each voter 4 times — by phone,
text, mail, social media, and door-knocking — we can boost turnout by 11
percent.

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.

Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison is one of our strongest
progressive fighters in the country — and he’s in a tough fight for
re-election.

The race is a dead heat as his far-right extremist opponent takes big
money to slander him with an onslaught of ads. But, Keith is ‘The People’s
Lawyer’ and we have people-power on our side to reach voters directly with
the facts.

AG Ellison has had a career of public service — in the State Legislature
and the U.S. Congress. His opponent is a hedge fund lawyer who wants to
criminalize abortion at 6 weeks, defund corporate law enforcement, and gut
consumer protections.

As AG, Keith Ellison put hundreds of thousands of dollars back into the
pockets of Minnesota workers who were victims of wage theft. And, he’s
holding Big Pharma accountable for the damage of the opioid epidemic —
winning hundreds of millions for Minnesota.

When a hedge fund landlord stopped repairing their properties, leaving
families without heat and subject to mold and lead paint, Keith stepped in
to defend Minnesotans.

When we say Keith Ellison is the people’s lawyer, that’s what we mean.
That’s the work Jim Schultz wants to defund.

[ [link removed] ][IMG]

Last week, Bernie joined US Reps. Ilhan Omar and Pramila Jayapal to travel
across Minnesota and [ [link removed] ]rally support for Keith — and Our Revolution is
going all-out to turnout our 147,000 supporters in the state.

Our Phone Bank Force has already made 42,000 phone calls in Minnesota, and
we’re launching 100,000 texts and postcards to 65,000 households of Our
Revolution members with a simple message:

The choice is clear. While Keith is taking on corporate criminals who are
price-gouging customers and stealing worker wages, his opponent wants to
[ [link removed] ]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?

Our Revolution proudly supports Oscar De Los Santos for the AZ House of
Representatives in District 11.

Born to working-class immigrant parents, Oscar has dedicated his life and
career to public service and progressive values. He knows healthcare is a
human right and that everyone deserves a living wage.

As a teacher at a low-income school in South Phoenix, he’s been at the
frontlines of the fight for better-funded schools and better teacher pay.

Oscar has fought for economic justice — and won. He led the passage of a
bill that doubled the cash assistance program for low-income families and
spearheaded a coalition restoring food assistance for those with felonies.

Oscar currently works combatting Republican attacks on our democracy, and
now we can help put him in the State House!

Also in Arizona, we must re-elect Sandra Kennedy and add Lauren Kuby to
the little-known but powerful Corporation Commission.

Sandra was elected in 2018 after the electric utility APS spent more than
$10M to defeat her in 2014 and elect commissioners who voted to raise
utility prices, [ [link removed] ]Marketplace reports.

This is why Our Revolution is going all out in this key down-ballot race —
utility corporations can’t be allowed to choose their own regulators and
we need climate champions like Kennedy and Kuby in these key down-ballot
seats.

PHONEBANK SPOTLIGHT

“Wow, I just had my best call of the week!” Our Revolution phone banker
Amanda Walker told us on Monday after a great conversation with an Arizona
voter about “the energy bigwigs having their fingers in the pie.”

“I’m so glad we're calling on this race,” Amanda said. “I love that the
[ [link removed] ]Phonebank Force is involved in down-ballot calling like this that has
such concrete implications!”

You can join Amanda by making calls to elect progressives up and down the
ballot — from Arizona to Pennsylvania and everywhere in between! All told,
our call team has made more than 857,000 calls and counting!

Our Revolution is working hard to make sure Megan Green becomes the next
president of the St. Louis Board of Alderman — especially as her opponent
Jack Coatar rakes in cash from anti-union and big developer sources.

Megan supports hotel workers trying to organize with Unite Here Local 74,
[ [link removed] ]STL Today reports, while Coatar sides with the bosses who are also his
donors.

“He’s the big-money candidate in the race to replace Reed, who was the
big-money candidate before Coatar,” [ [link removed] ]STL Today writes. “Reed, of
course, is headed to a likely federal prison sentence for taking bribes in
development deals.”

In her time on the board, Megan helped pass a $15 minimum wage bill in the
city while Coatar voted against it. As board president, she would
strengthen the growing bloc of progressive power in the city that includes
the Mayor.

That’s why Our Revolution callers have dialed out to more than 25,000
voters in the city and we want to triple that before Election Day.

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 says our movement is on track to dramatically expand
the ranks of progressives in the House with Our Revolution-endorsed
candidates like Greg Casar, Maxwell Frost, Summer Lee, and other primary
winners likely to win in the general election.

We’re not just playing it safe — our volunteers are working to win
priority competitive races for progressives including Jamie McLeod-Skinner
in Oregon’s 5th District and Michelle Vallejo in Texas’ 15th!

US Senate candidate Mandela Barnes rallied with us Thursday in Milwaukee,
WI as we kicked off a nationwide week of action. Thursday’s January 6th
hearing revealed more shocking details of the crimes against our
democracy, and we’re ratcheting up the pressure for justice.

That’s why Our Revolution, Public Citizen, and our coalition will hold
more than 70 events for #OurFreedomsOurVote this week with calls to action
from civil rights and union leaders, election officials and poll workers,
state lawmakers and members of Congress,” [ [link removed] ]Common Dreams reports.

Martin Luther King III, Arndrea Waters King, and US Rep. Raul Grijalva
will be joining some of the more than 70 events planned across the country
— and you’re invited!

[ [link removed] ][IMG]

“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.”

RALLY WITH AMAZON WORKERS!

Our Revolution: NY Progressive Action Network rallied with Amazon workers
this week in Albany as voting runs through Monday to unionize at the #ALB1
location.

There were [ [link removed] ]FIRES in the warehouse last week, and we’re sounding the
alarm to stand with workers who are organizing a union to improve health
and safety in their workplaces.

Also, ONT8 in Moreno Valley, CA filed for their election this week with
Amazon Labor. This is about solidarity and showing up, the grassroots
doing the groundwork — let's go!

Our Revolution and our coalition fighting Big Tech notched a win this week
with the passage of a House bill to give enforcers more resources to go
after anti-competitive mergers and give state AGs more power over which
courts they bring antitrust lawsuits in.

“This shows there is still a chance for two other key bills to pass later
this year,” [ [link removed] ]CNBC reported on our big push to Bust Big Tech. Let’s keep
up the pressure and the momentum!

[ [link removed] ]LA Progressive reported this week on the work of Our Revolution and
our coalition of climate allies resulting in our Phase 1 victory over Joe
Manchin and his Dirty Deal.

We were among the first to organize to stop the deal, marshaling our
resources and mobilizing thousands of calls to House and Senate offices.

Our activists bird-dogged legislators at their offices, rallied on Capitol
Hill, pushed the CPC, and ultimately tipped the balance. We know it’s not
over, but we’ll be ready when the dirty deal rears its ugly head again.
