$2,000 every month

We’re in the middle of a crisis. This is not the time to be overly cautious about our support for the huge portion of Americans who’ve faced economic hardship as a result of this pandemic. Rent is due next week. Millions of Americans have been left without work due to this pandemic. But despi…

How we win change:

Across the country, millions of our neighbors get by without access to health care. Every day, we hear stories about working-class families struggling to meet rising costs of living. We live in an era where progressive change is desperately needed. Across the country, millions of our neighbo…

Stagnant wages

Look: Everyone deserves a living wage. Especially in the age of COVID-19, we can see that many of the jobs that do pay minimum wage are critical to the functioning of our society. The United States hasn’t raised the minimum wage in over 10 years. You know what hasn’t stayed the same since 20…

$10.52

Right now, our average online donation is just $10.52. That means our progressive movement is fueled by folks from every background chipping in a few dollars here and there. Everyone has a place here. We’re going to share something with you that we’re incredibly proud of. Right now, our aver…

Here’s the deal: Ro doesn’t take a single dollar from PACs. That means we leave millions of dollars on the table every cycle. But it’s worth it. You are a critical part of this movement. Here’s the deal: Ro doesn’t take a single dollar from PACs. That means we leave millions of dollars on th…

Our responsibility as a nation

Our entire way of life revolves around these folks, our essential workers, risking their lives to provide support for the rest of us. They have our backs. Now, we have to have theirs. 1 in 7 essential workers doesn’t have health insurance. In a modern society, that’s wrong. But in the midst …

How we keep building this movement:

This crisis has fundamentally changed the face of campaigning. With a full digital approach that includes no in-person fundraising, we’re doing a whole lot more with fewer resources. We’ll cut right to the chase. At this moment, we’re running $7,102 behind on our midmonth fundraising goal. H…

Grassroots

Right now, our team is hard at work developing new strategies that incorporate this new reality, shift heavily to digital contact methods, and spread Ro’s progressive message far and wide. COVID-19 has fundamentally changed the state of this race. Just today, Gov. Gavin Newsom announced that…

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez endorses the Essential Workers Bill of Rights

Our Essential Workers Bill of Rights legislation is picking up some major momentum in Congress. A number of progressive leaders have officially co-sponsored the legislation, including Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez! We’ve got some great news. Our Essential Workers Bill of Rights legislation is…

[Sign your name] We need universal broadband

Path to victory

Ro Khanna is fighting for us. From providing more resources for testing, to working towards monthly payments of $2,000 for every American, to calling on the Trump administration to do more for working-class folks, Ro’s leadership in Congress is important. This is critically important. Ro Kha…

$75 billion dollars

We’re not testing enough people. It’s as simple as that. If we’re going to protect our health care workers, reopen any sector of the economy, and move forward as a nation, we need comprehensive testing. This administration needs to rise to the occasion. We’re not testing enough people. It’s …

Our path forward

Slow walking a crisis

Experts have said that our plan to send families at least $2,000 every month would help prop up local economies and small businesses for at least another 6 months. That’s critical time that could keep mom & pop shops alive long enough to weather this crisis. In just two days, millions of …

Ro takes $0 from any PACs, unlike the majority of members of Congress. That means when we’re running behind on fundraising for our digital-only campaign, you’re our only hope of catching up. We have good news and bad news. First, the good news: Since we came to you to talk about our fundraisi…

What we need to fight

Ro’s up against a far-right extremist who, if elected, would oppose our entire progressive platform. Ensuring Ro wins this election is critical to have a Congress that will fight for Medicare for All, powerful action on the climate crisis, and an end to our endless wars in 2020. We’ll level w…

If you support these ideals...

Ro’s not afraid to speak truth to power, and he’s not about to allow Republicans to bail out special interests while leaving working families in limbo. That’s why he’s standing up for recurring, cash payments to every family and an Essential Worker’s Bill of Rights to center our relief efforts wh…

The foundation of this movement

Our average online donation in 2020 has been just $10.86. That’s because this is a people-first movement — and that kind of independence is incredibly valuable. Every day, Ro is fighting for progressive priorities on Capitol Hill. Recently, he’s been busier than ever. From proposing the Esse…

Progressive priorities

According to a new Pew poll, over 43% of Americans have lost their jobs or lost some of their wages in the COVID-19 crisis. In just over a week, many of them will have to make rent. We can’t let the Trump administration put corporations above working families. According to a new Pew poll, over…

Working families are expected to save three months of income

Boeing spent over $43 billion on buybacks over the last 10 years. That’s money going mostly to wealthy stockholders, not investing in their workers. Working families are often told that they should keep at least three months of savings on hand for a rainy day. When you’re making minimum wag…
