US Rep. Delia Ramirez joined us for a powerful conversation [ [link removed] ]Monday
Night, tracing her journey from the [ [link removed] ]daughter of immigrants to becoming
the first Latina from the Midwest to serve in Congress.

Years ago, Delia helped found Our Illinois Revolution. And this year, she
gave the [ [link removed] ]progressive response to Biden’s State of the Union Address,
calling for bold urgent action before 2024.

“We must push back against MAGA but also prove to people that we’ll
actually deliver — that means doing everything in our power with executive
action in this moment,” she said.

“We shouldn’t make an excuse that we’ll get to things when we get a
majority again. Let’s be honest, we had the House and there were things we
just never delivered on,” Delia said. “DACA can’t wait til we get a
majority, rent price-gouging can’t wait, prescription drug prices can’t
wait.”

Our Revolution is backing Brandon Johnson, a former public school teacher
and union organizer, for Mayor of Chicago.

Like Delia Ramirez [ [link removed] ]told us Monday, “This is a unique opportunity for
our progressive multicultural coalition to elect one of our own to the
Fifth Floor.”

Brandon’s opponent? Conservative Paul Vallas, who is flush with corporate
cash and calls himself “more of a Republican than a Democrat.”

“This didn’t happen overnight, that all of a sudden Brandon emerged to run
for mayor,” Delia said. “This is years of local grassroots
movement-building, and now we’re in a moment when the soul of a city is on
the line.”

Chicago Teachers Union President [ [link removed] ]Stacy Davis Gates laid out the
history leading to this moment where a middle school teacher could defeat
a school privatizer to lead the city.

“It means when you fight you can win,” Stacy told us. “I am so proud of
our movement in Chicago. I am so proud that we have the chance to bring
forth a vision of co-governance.”

“Brandon believes every child deserves a fully-funded school and that
safety begins with investment,” she said. “He believes if we don’t fight
for it and organize for it, we don’t get it. In Chicago, we’re sending our
best to transform this city with us.”

Martin Luther King Jr. said: “If we crack Chicago, we crack the world!” On
April 4, the anniversary of his assassination, voters will decide in
Chicago.

This race will have reverberating impacts, and we can each play a role to
tip the balance. Make calls to mobilize 100,000 Our Revolution supporters
to the polls in Chicago.

ST. LOUIS SLATE ADVANCES!

[ [link removed] ][IMG]

Nearly our entire progressive slate in slate advanced to the general
election, including Mayor Tashaura Jones, Board President, and former
Bernie delegate Megan Green — and 9 of our 10 ward candidates!

Our Revolution has been working for multiple election cycles in St. Louis
and now we’re looking to strengthen our progressive majority, which passed
a Basic Income trial in the city this year.

Our team is making 150,000 voter contacts in the city ahead of the April
4th election, and we’re hearing a lot of excitement on the ground around
our slate! Early voting starts this Tuesday.

Building local power is critical, and Our Revolution is proud to endorse
Shawn Denney for mayor of Lawrence, Indiana — a 50,000-person city next
door to Indianapolis.

Shawn is a former teacher, school board member, and Bernie Sanders
supporter, and he is the leading voice on the Lawrence City Council right
now.

Shawn is also working with a diverse and progressive slate of candidates
that are running for city council — and this is a winnable race against a
Republican extremist who hangs out with Mike Pence.

“We are staying focused on the people that live in our community,” Shawn
told us Monday night. “We passed a $15 minimum wage for city employees,
and this past year, we helped 500 families facing evictions stay in their
homes.”

It’s been a busy couple of weeks in our campaign with One Fair Wage to
raise wages state by state — and not leave tipped workers behind!

Our organizers and worker activists in NY, MD, CT, and IL, have been busy
rallying and lobbying lawmakers to make sure workers are paid a living
wage with tips on top!

The federal tipped minimum wage has been $2.13 for 32 years because of
corporate lobbying by groups like the National Restaurant Association.

[ [link removed] ][IMG]

Last week, Our Revolution joined US Reps. Ro Khanna, Jan Schakowsky,
Debbie Dingell, and other progressive leaders in DC for a press event
calling out the National Restaurant Association.

Sens. Bernie Sanders, Jeff Merkley, Elizabeth Warren and others have also
stood with us demanding answers from the ‘Other NRA,’ which spent $25M in
workers’ food safety dues to lobby against wage increases.

That’s why we’re calling on all elected officials to reject dirty money
from the restaurant lobby.

[ [link removed] ][IMG]

Call your Reps and demand they join Ro Khanna, Greg Casar, and the many
others who have already signed the pledge to reject NRA money.

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

Our Revolution and our coalition will rally on Wednesday for worker
meetings with legislators in Lansing, Michigan to raise the state minimum
wage and abolish the subminimum wage.

We'll be urging key legislators to take the pledge to reject campaign
contributions from the Michigan Restaurant Lobby or National Restaurant
Association — and engage in some hands-on activities.

Despite climate promises, the Biden Administration, unfortunately, doubled
down on dirty energy this week and approved the Willow Project for more
drilling in the fragile ecosystem of Alaska.

[ [link removed] ]TAG24 featured our call on all Democrats to represent the young voters
who delivered Biden’s victory and held off a red wave in the Midterms.

Now, they hope to resurrect Manchin’s Dirty Deal and fast-track fossil
fuel permitting. With your help, we defeated the Dirty Deal three times
last year and we can do it again.

LOCAL VICTORY! This week, Our Revolution New Jersey celebrated the passage
of another local resolution for Medicare For All — the 16th in the state
and 100+ nationwide!

Our activists were welcomed at the council hearing by Neptune Township
Mayor Keith Cafferty, who spoke out against medical debt and financial
barriers to health care as a human right.

“Medicare for All is a serious solution for an armada of serious
problems,” he said. “I’m proud that our Township Committee is joining the
effort to make it law.”

Our Revolution Harris County helped organize the Texas Grassroots Alliance
Summit this month, with 300+ groups coming together to lay the foundation
for 2025 legislative elections to reclaim Texas for Texans!

ORHC is led by LaTonya Whittington, founder of Cannabis Reform of Houston,
who built a team of volunteer phone bankers to mobilize Our Revolution
members to join the summit.

Folks also took a bus ride to Austin, TX to meet and organize with
progressive legislators like State Rep. Ron Reynolds.

coalition is gearing up to gather 40k signatures to get it on the ballot
by July 4th.

initiative for Fair Ticketing.
