ELECTING A PROGRESSIVE MAYOR IN CHICAGO!

[ [link removed] ][IMG]

All eyes are on Chicago where progressive Brandon Johnson advanced to the
runoff for mayor this week — and we’re uniting our movement to help him
win!

As a former public school teacher, union organizer, and county
commissioner, Brandon knows the pain caused by disinvestment in education,
infrastructure, and health care — and the violence left in its wake.

His opponent? Conservative Paul Vallas, a public school privatizer who
calls himself “more of a Republican than a Democrat” — and he has the
rightwing mega-donors to prove it.

[ [link removed] ]Brandon Johnson can win this race. Help us mobilize nearly 100,000 Our
Revolution members in Chicago and make 250,000 voter contacts by Election
Day April 4!

Tuesday is Election Day in St. Louis, where Our Revolution and our
coalition have been working for years to build power and strengthen our
progressive majority!

The whole St. Louis Board is up for grabs in redrawn districts, and Our
Revolution has a powerful slate on the ballot to hold the progressive
majority — from re-electing Board President Megan Green to candidates in
10 ward races.

Our team is making 100,000 voter contacts in the city and hearing
excitement on the ground around our slate!

Ward 7 candidate Alisha Sonnier began her [ [link removed] ]activism following the
murder of Michael Brown in 2014. Since, she’s worked with Fight for $15,
Pro Choice Missouri, as political director for Green’s campaign, and now
on the St. Louis Board of Education.

“When we’re building this political movement, we’ve got to advocate for
our people and our city like it’s do or die because it is,” Alisha
[ [link removed] ]told us. “We can show a national model of what progressive leadership
can look like.”

We’re partnering with One Fair Wage to end the subminimum wage and raise
wages state by state. It’s time to pressure elected officials to pass
legislation — and we’re taking on the restaurant lobby to do it.

We have bills on the table in 3 states so far, and more are being
introduced. If you live in [ [link removed] ]New York, [ [link removed] ]Maryland, or [ [link removed] ]Illinois,
call your State Reps!

[ [link removed] ][IMG]

In Maryland on Thursday, Our Revolution leaders and restaurant workers
testified at a State Senate hearing to make sure tipped workers aren’t
left behind as we raise the wage in Maryland.

OR Maryland’s Hal Ginsberg noted: “Most Maryland minimum wage workers
received an hourly pay increase for 2023 from $12.50 to $13.25, but tipped
workers saw no change from the measly $3.63 they’ve been paid for 14
years.

OR Political Director Aaron Chappell emphasized that Raising the Wage to a
Living Wage was ranked in the Top 3 priorities by Our Revolution members.

We need to hear from you! If you’ve ever worked in the food service
industry and experienced low wages, please speak out — we’ll have your
back! Especially if you’re in one of the states we’re working in right now
to raise the wage — MD, MI, NY, IL, OH, AZ!

Last week, Our Revolution members in Chicago joined Illinois state
lawmakers to rally around a new bill to phase out the subminimum wage for
tipped workers!

“Our workers here in Illinois deserve quality of life, and the subminimum
wage does not allow that,” State Rep. Camille Lilly to [ [link removed] ]Public News
Service.

Nearly 70% of Illinois’ 215,000 tipped workers are women — and 1 in 8 left
the industry during the pandemic.

“Tips were down, harassment was up,” said State Sen. Cristina
Pacione-Zayas. “Of those who have stayed, over half say they’re
considering leaving due to pay and exploitation of their labor.”

This Thursday — Our Revolution, One Fair Wage, and members of the
Congressional Progressive Caucus are gathering to organize to raise wages
for tipped workers!

Reps. Jan Schakowsky, Ro Khanna, and other House progressives will join us
for a breakfast and press event to support millions of restaurant workers
deceived by the National Restaurant Association into funding their own
wage suppression.

The ‘Other NRA’ used millions of dollars that workers paid for food safety
training to lobby against these workers' wage increases without their
knowledge. Help us hold them accountable!

Call your Reps and demand they reject dirty money from ‘Other NRA’. US
Reps. Ro Khanna and Greg Casar, Sen. Elizabeth Warren, and others have
already signed on!

Thanks to NRA lobbying, the federal minimum wage has been stuck at
$7.25/hr for 14 years, and the federal tipped wage has remained $2.13/hr
since 1991!

Worker activists joined Bernie Sanders and Senate Leader Chuck Schumer to
reintroduce the ‘Protecting the Right to Organize’ Act on Wednesday.

The PRO Act will empower workers to freely and fairly form a union and
bargain together for their rights at work. 71% of Americans support unions
and millions of Americans would join a union today if they could.

As a reminder, President Biden can use the power of the pen to deliver on
workers rights — as well as housing, higher wages for care workers, drug
prices and much more!

CHAIRMAN BERNIE & FEDERAL FIGHTS

In response to growing pressure, Eli Lilly announced plans this week to
cap insulin prices at $35, and we’re joining Bernie in the push to drive
prices even lower.

As Chairman of the Senate HELP Committee and with our movement at his
back, Bernie also successfully shamed Moderna out of quadrupling vaccine
prices!

And, this week he’s preparing to subpoena Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz to
answer for his illegal union-busting. Bernie is also working to expand
Social Security and he introduced a bill for $60k minimum pay for
teachers!

[ [link removed] ]This is why our work matters! With Our Revolution and our movement
organizing on the outside, and Bernie using his position on the inside —
we are making a difference for people’s lives.

Because of worker organizing and grassroots pressure, 4 of the 5 big rail
carriers have now agreed to provide 4 paid sick days — the bare minimum,
but a start.

Also this week, US Reps. Ro Khanna and Chris Deluzio [ [link removed] ]introduced a bill
to reduce the chances of another Norfolk Southern-like disaster.

“The lesson from East Palestine is clear,” said US Rep. Ro Khanna. “The
failure to properly regulate rail companies had disastrous consequences on
the lives of people and the environment. That's why we are introducing a
bill to enforce higher safety standards on our nation’s railways.”

LOCAL VICTORY! This week, Our Revolution New Jersey and our coalition
celebrated the passage of the state’s 15th local resolution supporting
Medicare For All!

Newark City Council unanimously passed our M4A Resolution, joining more
than 100 cities and counties around the country in sending a strong
message to end for-profit health care in favor of a universal system,
[ [link removed]' ]Common Dreams reported.

“Medicare for All represents conscientious policy that is not based on zip
code, class, economic status, etc. but is designed for everyone,” said
Newark Mayor Ras Baraka, who championed the resolution alongside ORNJ and
our coalition.

The new San Francisco Education Alliance, powered by Our Revolution, is
generating a lot of excitement!

At the big launch event Wednesday, organizers kicked off a campaign to
stop cuts to ESL classes and laid out the group’s vision: protect public
schools, advance progressive policies, mobilize the community, and hold
elected officials accountable.

“Pushing back against recalls and privatization, the alliance
is...‘proudly left-leaning, anti-racist, anti-fascist, anti-carceral, and
pro-union,’” the [ [link removed] ]San Francisco Standard reported.
