Folks! We’re releasing a new commemorative sticker celebrating Bernie
Sanders’ new position as Chairman of the Senate HELP Committee (Health,
Education, Labor, and Pensions).

This is a big deal and gives Bernie the power to expose corporate greed,
take on Big Pharma, and support workers and their unions!

As Chairman, Bernie will be taking the HELP Committee on the road and he
has big plans for this year, so Our Revolution is ramping up our
organizing to have his back.

Claim your Chairman Sanders sticker with a one-time donation of $10 — or
with a $5 recurring gift to invest in our work to carry out Bernie’s
vision.

Founded by Bernie in 2016, Our Revolution is America’s largest
grassroots-funded political organizing group. In this new year, we’re
building on our work, expanding our grassroots organizing, and growing our
influence in the party.

With a Republican House, we’re pushing President Biden to deliver for
working people through executive action ahead of 2024. And, we’re backing
up Bernie as he takes on corporate power as Chair of the HELP Committee.

We’re also training our focus at the state and local level — where we have
amazing opportunities this year to elect powerful progressives and pass
life-changing legislation like higher wages for millions.

[ [link removed] ]We have a lot of exciting work planned for 2023, and we welcome you to
get engaged in our actions and become an Our Revolution member today.

MEDICAL DEBT

[ [link removed] ][IMG]

This issue of Medical Debt is a uniquely American problem among the
so-called “developed world" — and a big one that has been largely
neglected by politicians and the media.

Bernie put it into focus in his recent address on the [ [link removed] ]State of the
Working Class, noting that half of all bankruptcies in the U.S. stem from
medical debt and 38% of Americans are putting off healthcare because they
don’t want to go into debt.

We are compiling the stories of real people to bring pressure to bear on
this great healthcare injustice. Do you owe a hospital money for care you
needed but couldn't afford? If you are one of the many who owe money to a
hospital, please speak out and tell your story!

ONE FAIR WAGE

A top issue for Our Revolution members is raising wages. That’s why we’re
partnering with One Fair Wage to pass legislation in 10 states this year
to eliminate the subminimum wage for tipped workers — and put it on the
ballot in AZ, OH, and MI in 2024.

We will pass #OneFairWage because feeding your kids shouldn't depend on
the kindness of strangers.

On Monday, our team introduced the bill in New York — the first of our 10
states for 2023 — where we rallied and lobbied NY lawmakers to raise the
wage and not leave tipped workers behind!

Our coalition of workers and activists was joined by dozens of NY
lawmakers, folks like NY Sens. Gustavo Rivera and Robert Jackson who we
worked to help elect in November!

NY would be the 9th state to End the Subminimum Wage for tipped workers —
on Monday, we’ll launch the bill in Colorado, and on Feb. 8 do it again in
Illinois!

Our Revolution-NYPAN’s Jenny Almanzar spoke at the One Fair Wage event
about her experience in the restaurant industry. “I’ve come out of shifts
making less than the minimum wage,” she said. “Most workers at the
establishment have quit.”

We need to hear from you! If you’ve ever worked in the food service
industry and experienced low wages, we encourage you to speak out — and
we’ll have your back!

Leaders like Bernie Sanders and Ro Khanna are bringing these issues to the
forefront, and we can help bring change by sharing our horror stories in
the industry.

THE ‘OTHER NRA’ vs. WORKERS

[ [link removed] ][IMG]

Not only are we organizing to pressure elected officials, but we’re also
going after the National Restaurant Association — because lobbyists
shouldn’t be able to use workers’ money to keep their wages low!

On Thursday, Our Revolution activists protested in NYC and Maryland
against the ‘Other NRA’, which the [ [link removed] ]New York Times recently exposed has
taken millions from low-wage workers and used it to fund lobbying against
wage increases.

[ [link removed] ][IMG]

All elected officials must reject dirty money from ‘Other NRA’ which has
used this scheme to stagnate the federal minimum wage at $7.25/hr since
2009 and the federal tipped wage at $2.13/hr since 1991!

US Rep. Ro Khanna was the first to sign our NO NRA Money pledge, and we
need his colleagues in Congress to follow suit!

Raising the Wage is popular — and necessary! Last year restaurant workers
won the fight to make Michigan the 8th state to end the subminimum wage
for tipped workers. And, in DC, 76% voted to raise the wage to $16.75.

This year we’re working with One Fair Wage to end the subminimum wage in
NY, MD, MA, CT, RI, VT, HA, CO, PR, and CA. We’ll also be collecting
signatures this year to put the measure on the ballot in AZ, OH, and MI in
2024.

Sign up to be part of our Raise the Wage Team chance to help millions of
workers in each of these 13 states win higher wages.

With a Republican House, we must also push President Biden to deliver on
through the Power of the Pen.

Our Revolution’s Federal Action Team members zeroed in on the following
top three issues areas: Combat the Climate Crisis, Lower Healthcare Costs,
and Expand Worker Power.

Just some things Biden can do include giving sick leave to rail workers,
ensuring union rights for federal contractors, and closing tax loopholes
for the wealthy!

SINEMA OFFICIALLY HAS A CHALLENGER!

Progressive US Rep. Ruben Gallego is officially running against Kyrsten
Sinema for the US Senate in Arizona — and Our Revolution is all-in to make
sure the Senate has one less corporate villain.

For too long Sinema has used her power to help those who already have it
all — standing in the way of raising the minimum wage, protecting voting
rights, lowering the cost of prescription drugs, and more.

Gallego came directly at Sinema for repeatedly selling out working people,
saying, "The rich and the powerful, they don't need more advocates."

However, corporate Democratic leadership has not yet come out in support
of Gallego and has even refused to rule out endorsing Sinema! Which means
we have work to do.

With Sinema raking in big money rewarding her for her obstruction of
progress, it’s going to take a historic grassroots effort to win. Donate
now to our Stop Sinema Fund to jumpstart this work!

2024 SENATE RACES

Looking ahead to the 2024 Senate races, Our Revolution Executive Director
Joseph Geevarghese told [ [link removed] ]The Hill that “the progressive voting bloc in
the Senate is poised to become stronger.”

“Look, it’s a very tough map. It is going to be difficult for Democrats to
hold the majority,” Joseph explained, “but even if Democrats don’t do
well, progressives will, and we’ll have more influence.”

Democrats didn’t win the House in 2022, but the Congressional Progressive
Caucus got stronger, which shows that “economic populists, candidates who
put bread-and-butter issues at the center of their campaigns, can win,”
Joseph said

“I think that’s incredibly encouraging,” he added. “We need more Bernies
and Warrens — and Fettermans.”

While we prepare to take out Kyrsten Sinema in 2024 — unlike other groups
— we’re not skipping critical races in 2023.

Power is up for grabs this year in major cities all across America, and we
plan to elect progressive city leaders in St. Louis, Chicago, NYC, Philly,
Nashville, Dallas, and more.

what’s happening in YOUR city or town, and help us make key endorsements!

Ahead of the DNC winter meeting in February, Our Revolution Board Chair
Larry Cohen penned an inside look at progressive work to transform the
Party for [ [link removed] ]In These Times.

We have more progressive reformers inside the party than ever before, and
they’ll be re-submitting the resolution to get dark money out of primaries
at the meeting.

Disgraced crypto billionaire Sam Bankman-Fried funneled nearly $40M to
‘centrist’ Democrats in the primaries — and he was one of many. “Getting
this kind of corrupt corporate cash out of primaries is critical if we
want to elect grassroots challengers,” Larry said.

“For those of us who believe we must fight in every possible way to
advance progressive issues and win real power, we ignore party reform at
our peril,” Larry said.

“Without change within the Democratic Party, we won’t win the advances in
healthcare, childcare, workers’ rights, and climate change that are
desperately needed,” he explained. “Progressive party-building requires a
dedicated inside-outside strategy.”
