VICTORY! We just won a major milestone in the fight to get Big Money out of politics. The DNC voted Wednesday to finally crack down on dark money in presidential primaries.
“Blocking corporate money in the nominating process and blocking dark money — those are two great steps,” Our Rev Chair Larry Cohen told Common Dreams.
“New progressive candidates have been blocked by the onslaught of money from crypto, fossil fuel and an endless parade of corporate spending, as well as AIPAC and other right-wing groups and Republican billionaires,” Our Revolution Chair Larry Cohen wrote in an op-ed in The Nation.
“This resolution is about putting power back where it belongs — in the hands of voters, not corporate elites,” said Our Revolution leader Joseph Geevarghese. “This victory belongs to the grassroots.”
This comes after 10 years organizing, electing progressives into the party structure, and keeping up grassroots pressure — we delivered 13,000+ petitions just this week to the DNC.
Now the hard work begins: making sure these reforms are enforced for 2028 and beyond. For too long, Super PACs and billionaires have drowned out grassroots voices.
Our Revolution will keep leading the charge to get AIPAC, crypto, and other dark money out of the party — and we won’t stop until primaries belong to the people. Donate $5, $10, or $27 to fuel the next phase of this fight.
