Ilhan Omar for Re-Election to Congress in MN-05

By Endorsement, MN

Ilhan Omar for Re-Election to Congress in MN-05

Our Revolution is proud to endorse Ilhan Omar for re-election to Congress in Minnesota’s 5th District.

From the moment she entered Congress, Ilhan has been one of the clearest and most courageous voices fighting for working people, immigrants, peace, racial justice, and democracy — even as she’s faced relentless attacks from the far right, corporate interests, and the political establishment.

At a time when too many politicians stay silent in the face of authoritarianism and corporate power, Ilhan Omar continues to stand up and fight.

According to her campaign, Ilhan is running to continue building a future rooted in:

  • Economic justice
  • Universal healthcare
  • Housing affordability
  • Climate action
  • Immigrant rights
  • Democracy reform
  • End endless war

Her campaign emphasizes that government should work for ordinary people — not billionaires, corporations, or political insiders.

And that’s exactly why powerful forces continue targeting her.

Ilhan has long been one of Donald Trump’s favorite political targets. In recent months, Trump escalated his attacks even further — suggesting she should be jailed or deported and amplifying false conspiracy theories targeting both her and Minnesota’s Somali community. 

Despite the threats and intimidation, Ilhan has remained outspoken against ICE and MAGA extremism. She will always stand strong for immigrant communities and progressive values.

Right now, she faces multiple challengers in both the Democratic primary and general election, while outside groups and right-wing media continue pouring attention and attacks into the race.

At a moment when authoritarian politics, billionaire influence, and anti-immigrant attacks are intensifying across the country, we need leaders who won’t back down under pressure.

Ilhan Omar has shown that courage time and time again.

That’s why Our Revolution is proud to stand with her once more.

When we organize, we win. ✊

Kai Newkirk for Congress in Arizona’s 4th District

By AZ, Endorsement

Kai Newkirk for Congress in Arizona’s 4th District

At a moment when too many Democrats are afraid to confront corporate power, authoritarianism, and endless war, Kai Newkirk is running directly into the fight.

That’s why Our Revolution is proud to endorse Kai Newkirk for Congress in Arizona’s 4th District.

Kai is a longtime organizer, labor activist, and movement leader — and he’s taking on an AIPAC-funded Democrat incumbent to turn this seat bright blue.

He first started organizing in college through the global justice and anti-war movement after 9/11, then served as a union organizer with UNITE HERE and other labor campaigns. He went on to help found national democracy movements, including Democracy Spring — organizing nonviolent direct action against corruption, oligarchy, and attacks on democratic rights.

Since moving to Arizona in 2018 with his wife, immigrant rights leader Erika Andiola, Kai has continued building grassroots progressive power as co-chair of the Progressive Council of the Arizona Democratic Party.

A Clear Contrast in AZ-04

This race is a battle over the future of the Democratic Party.

Kai’s opponent, incumbent Greg Stanton, is a corporate-aligned “New Democrat” backed heavily by corporate PAC money and AIPAC. Stanton opposes Medicare for All and voted to sanction the International Criminal Court after it moved to indict Benjamin Netanyahu.

Kai is offering a fundamentally different vision.

He’s running on:

  • Medicare for All
  • Ending corruption and billionaire control of politics
  • Defeating authoritarianism and MAGA extremism
  • Abolishing ICE and protecting immigrant communities
  • Ending U.S. support for genocide and criminal wars
  • Affordable housing and lowering costs for working families
  • Worker rights and union power
  • Climate action and environmental justice

Kai rejects corporate PAC money and is unapologetically challenging the billionaire-driven politics dominating both parties.

A Movement Candidate

Kai isn’t running a conventional campaign.

He’s spent his adult life organizing nonviolent struggles for democracy, peace, workers’ rights, climate action, and justice for all people.

And he understands what’s at stake in this moment.

This campaign is about proving that Democrats who enable genocide, mass deportation, corporate greed, and billionaire influence can be challenged — and beaten.

It’s about building the ranks of progressive fighters in Congress and shifting the Democratic Party in a truly progressive populist direction.

And it’s about showing that voters are hungry for leaders willing to actually confront entrenched power instead of accommodating it.

Our Revolution is proud to stand with Kai Newkirk in this fight.

When we organize, we win.

Adelita Grijalva for Congress in AZ-07

By AZ, Endorsement

Adelita Grijalva for Congress in AZ-07

Our Revolution is proud to endorse Adelita Grijalva for Congress in AZ-07 — a lifelong organizer, education advocate, and progressive leader fighting for Southern Arizona families and immigrant communities.

We were proud to back Adelita in her campaign last year, and we’re proud to stand with her again as she runs for a full term in Congress representing Arizona’s 7th District.

Adelita stepped up to run after the passing of her father, longtime progressive champion Rep. Raúl Grijalva, who spent decades fighting for labor rights, environmental justice, immigrant communities, Indigenous sovereignty, and progressive change in Congress. 

But Adelita isn’t simply carrying forward a legacy — she’s built one of her own.

Before being elected to Congress in 2025, Adelita served for years on the Tucson Unified School District Governing Board and later on the Pima County Board of Supervisors, where she focused on public education, affordable housing, environmental protection, and expanding opportunity for working families. 

Her campaign is deeply rooted in Southern Arizona and grounded in the belief that government should work for ordinary people — not corporations or billionaire donors.

As her campaign puts it: “Community-rooted. Southern Arizona strong. One of us. Fighting for all of us.” 

Adelita is running for re-election to continue fighting for public schools, labor rights, environmental justice, healthcare access, immigrant communities, and economic opportunity in a district that has long been a center of progressive organizing in the Southwest. 

She has also emerged as a strong progressive voice willing to stand up to MAGA extremism and attacks on democratic institutions. After winning this seat last year, House Republicans delayed swearing her into office for weeks during a government shutdown standoff — a move widely criticized by Democrats and voting rights advocates. 

Adelita currently faces Republican Daniel Butierez, a repeat GOP challenger backed by conservative interests. 

And while massive outside spending transformed last year’s Arizona special election into a national battleground, Adelita continued building a grassroots coalition powered by labor, progressives, Latino communities, young voters, and movement organizations. 

At a time when too many politicians cave to corporate pressure and billionaire influence, Adelita Grijalva has remained grounded in community organizing, public service, and progressive values.

That’s why Our Revolution is proud to endorse her once again.

When we organize, we win. ✊

NY ASSEMBLY SLATE

By Endorsement, NY

Our Revolution Endorses a Bold Progressive Slate Across New York

New York should be leading the nation on progressive policy — and it can if we build power up and down the ballot.

Time and again, Albany Democrats have watered down or blocked the bold solutions working people are demanding — from taxing the rich to passing single-payer healthcare. At a moment when billionaires and corporate interests are shaping the political “permission structure” for the entire country from Wall Street and Manhattan boardrooms, we can’t afford for deep blue states like New York to play it safe.

That’s why this is such an insurgent moment in New York politics — and why Our Revolution is mobilizing our one million members across the state to elect a new generation of progressive fighters at every level of government.

These candidates are taking on corporate power, political insiders, real estate interests, and the billionaire donor class — while fighting for housing justice, labor rights, healthcare, climate action, and economic democracy.

U.S. Congress

Claire Valdez (NY-07)

Claire Valdez is a democratic socialist, union organizer, and New York State Assemblymember who has been a strong advocate for worker protections, social housing, and immigrant rights.

Brad Lander (NY-10)

As New York City Comptroller, Brad Lander has built a reputation for taking on corruption, corporate landlords, and billionaire influence in city politics. A longtime progressive reformer, he has championed affordable housing, climate action, labor rights, and government accountability while pushing back against the influence of real estate and corporate money.

Alex Bores (NY-12)

Alex Bores has emerged as one of the country’s leading voices on AI accountability and the dangers of unchecked corporate technology power. A State Assemblymember and former tech worker, Alex is fighting to regulate artificial intelligence, strengthen democracy protections, and challenge monopolistic corporate influence over public life and politics.

A working-class Afro-Latina organizer, UAW member, and public defense investigator, Darializa Avila Chevalier is building a grassroots challenge rooted in immigrant rights, housing justice, labor power, and economic dignity.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (NY-14)

AOC helped redefine what’s politically possible in America.

Effie Phillips-Staley (NY-17)

Effie Phillips-Staley is an educator, labor advocate, and Tarrytown Trustee running one of the clearest grassroots-vs-establishment campaigns in the country.

Effie Phillips-Staley for Congress in NY-17

By Endorsement, NY

Effie Phillips-Staley for Congress in NY-17

The Democratic primary in New York’s 17th Congressional District is a microcosm of the national fight for the direction — and soul — of the Democratic Party.

That’s why Our Revolution is proud to endorse Effie Phillips-Staley for Congress in NY-17.

Effie is a progressive educator, labor advocate, and third-term Trustee in the Village of Tarrytown running against two corporate- and AIPAC-backed establishment Democrats for the chance to take on Republican incumbent Mike Lawler — a MAGA-aligned politician backed by corporate interests.

Her campaign is offering voters something increasingly rare in American politics: a bold, unapologetic platform centered on working people instead of wealthy donors and political insiders.

A Campaign for Working People

Effie is running on a people-first agenda focused on:

  • Medicare for All, including reproductive healthcare rights
  • Housing as a human right
  • Universal childcare
  • Humane immigration reform
  • Environmental protection and a green economy
  • Tax fairness and economic justice
  • Ending foreign wars and redirecting resources toward public needs
  • Ending U.S. aid to governments that violate human rights

She believes deeply that Americans should not be struggling to afford healthcare, housing, or childcare while corporations and billionaires profit from endless war and economic inequality.

“In Congress, my focus will be Medicare for All at the federal level, which is the structural fix this problem requires,” Effie said.

A Record Rooted in Community

Effie currently serves her third term as a Trustee in the Village of Tarrytown, where she has been a strong advocate for labor standards, housing affordability, safer walkable communities, climate resilience, and small businesses.

Her work on affordable housing has consistently been tied to demands for union labor and economic justice.

Before elected office, Effie was a longtime social justice activist and nonprofit administrator. She comes from a working-class family rooted in public service: her mother immigrated from El Salvador and became a public school teacher, while her father was a blue-collar veteran of World War II and Korea.

She raised her children in the Hudson Valley public school system and understands firsthand the pressures facing working families.

Challenging Entrenched Power

Effie’s campaign is directly confronting the influence of corporate money and AIPAC in Democratic politics.

She rejects corporate PAC donations and has made clear that both major parties too often prioritize the interests of billionaires and wealthy donors over everyday people.

Polling in NY-17 shows Democratic voters strongly support her progressive affordability agenda — and believe that funding wars and governments accused of human rights abuses undermines investments in healthcare, housing, and public well-being here at home.

Effie’s campaign also reflects her willingness to speak out even when it comes with political risk.

After traveling to Israel and the West Bank to witness conditions firsthand, she publicly condemned the treatment of Palestinians and called for a foreign policy rooted in universal human rights. Her stance drew backlash from local Democratic establishment figures — but also energized voters searching for leaders willing to challenge entrenched power structures.

An Insurgent Campaign for the Future

This race is about more than one congressional seat.

It’s about whether bold, progressive campaigns that put people first can win in suburban districts — and whether the Democratic Party will embrace the working-class politics needed to defeat MAGA and corporate rule alike.

Effie Phillips-Staley is proving there is real hunger for that vision.

Our Revolution is proud to stand with her.

Early voting runs June 13–21. Election Day is June 23.

Charles Booker for U.S. Senate in Kentucky

By Endorsement, KY

Charles Booker for U.S. Senate in Kentucky

Kentucky has a chance to do something historic.

At a moment when working families are being crushed by rising costs, corporate greed, and a political system rigged for billionaires, Our Revolution is proud to endorse Charles Booker for U.S. Senate.

Charles Booker isn’t running a cautious campaign designed to please political consultants. He’s building a bold, multiracial working-class movement across Kentucky — “from the hood to the holler” — rooted in economic justice, healthcare for all, and real democracy.

And the stakes couldn’t be higher.

Flipping this Senate seat blue could help determine control of the U.S. Senate in 2026. But this race is about more than partisan control — it’s about whether Democrats will finally fight unapologetically for working people instead of continuing to cater to corporate interests.

A Working People’s Agenda

Charles is running on one of the boldest progressive platforms in the country.

At the center of his campaign is a Working People’s Bill of Rights — a sweeping agenda designed to raise wages, strengthen unions, lower costs, and return power to everyday people.

His platform includes:

  • Raising wages to a true living wage
  • Strengthening unions and worker protections
  • Lowering the cost of housing, childcare, and everyday necessities
  • Medicare for All
  • A Green New Deal
  • Transformative criminal justice reform
  • Protecting democracy from oligarchs and corporate influence

Charles understands that working people are being squeezed from every angle while corporations and billionaires continue to consolidate wealth and power.

He’s running to change that.

Taking on McConnell’s Legacy

For decades, Mitch McConnell built a political machine in Kentucky that served corporate power while working communities were left behind.

Charles Booker is running to end that era.

Unlike establishment politicians funded by corporate PACs and wealthy donors, Charles is refusing corporate money and building a people-powered movement capable of transforming Kentucky politics from the ground up.

And he’s proving something political insiders still refuse to understand: bold progressive ideas are popular when they speak directly to people’s lives.

Building a Multiracial Working-Class Coalition

Charles has spent years organizing across communities too often ignored by the political establishment — bringing together rural, urban, Black, white, and working-class Kentuckians around a shared fight for dignity and economic justice.

That’s what makes this campaign different.

This isn’t about triangulation or watered-down messaging. It’s about building solidarity powerful enough to take on corporate greed and win.

And if Kentucky flips blue, it will send a message across the country that Democrats don’t need to move right to compete — they need to fight harder for working people.

The Future We’re Fighting For

Our Revolution believes the path forward is clear: organize working people, reject corporate influence, and run candidates willing to fight for transformational change.

Charles Booker represents that vision.

He’s not just running for a Senate seat — he’s building a movement for a government that works for the many, not the few.

We’re proud to stand with him.

When we organize, we win. ✊

AOC for re-election to Congress (NY-14)

By Endorsement, NY

AOC for re-election to Congress (NY-14)

When Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez first ran for Congress in 2018, the political establishment dismissed her.

A young organizer and working-class Latina from the Bronx taking on one of the most powerful Democrats in Congress wasn’t supposed to win.

But she did.

And in the years since, AOC has become one of the clearest and most fearless voices for working people in American politics.

That’s why Our Revolution is proud to endorse Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez for re-election to Congress in NY-14

A Movement Leader Fighting for Working People

Before Congress, AOC worked as an educator, organizer, and bartender to help support her family after the death of her father.

Inspired by the movement Bernie Sanders helped build, she launched a grassroots campaign powered by ordinary people — not corporate PACs or billionaire donors — and shocked the political world by defeating a top Democratic incumbent.

Since arriving in Congress, she has consistently fought for bold progressive policies that put people over profit:

  • Medicare for All
  • A Green New Deal
  • Housing justice
  • Student debt cancellation
  • Strong unions and worker protections
  • Taxing extreme wealth
  • Taking on corporate monopolies and corruption

She has also been a leading voice against endless war, attacks on immigrant communities, and corporate influence in politics.

Carrying Forward the Progressive Movement

AOC and Bernie Sanders share more than overlapping policy priorities — they share a vision of politics rooted in grassroots organizing, multiracial working-class solidarity, and taking on oligarchic power.

Together, they have helped redefine what’s politically possible in America.

From fighting for healthcare as a human right to challenging billionaire greed and building support for transformational climate action, AOC has helped carry forward the movement Bernie inspired into a new generation.

And unlike too many politicians in Washington, she has never backed down when it mattered most.

Taking on the Establishment — and Winning

AOC’s success has never come from corporate money or insider support.

It comes from organizing.

Time and again, she has shown that bold, unapologetic progressive politics can energize voters and build real power — especially among young people, working families, and communities too often ignored by the political establishment.

At a time when corporate interests and right-wing extremism are threatening democracy itself, leaders willing to fight clearly and courageously matter more than ever.

The Future We’re Building

Our Revolution was founded to transform the Democratic Party and build a government that works for the many, not the few.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez represents that fight every day in Congress.

She has helped push the national conversation toward economic justice, climate action, labor rights, and democracy reform — while continuing to organize alongside movements on the ground.

We’re proud to stand with her once again.

When we organize, we win. ✊

Greg Casar for Re-Election to Congress

By Endorsement, TX

Greg Casar for Re-Election to Congress

At a moment when Democrats are searching for a path forward, Greg Casar is helping lead the fight to rebuild the party around working people.

That’s why Our Revolution is proud to endorse Greg Casar for re-election to Congress and as Chair of the Congressional Progressive Caucus.

A former labor organizer and Austin City Council member, Casar has quickly emerged as one of the strongest progressive voices in Washington — pushing Democrats to confront corporate power, lower costs for working families, and reject politics driven by billionaire donors.

As chair of the Congressional Progressive Caucus, Greg is helping shape a new economic message centered on affordability, wages, healthcare, and taking on oligarchic power. Under his leadership, the CPC recently launched a sweeping new affordability agenda focused on lowering prescription drug prices, reducing childcare and utility costs, cracking down on corporate price gouging, and putting money back in people’s pockets. 

A Fighter for Working People

Greg Casar has built his career fighting for workers, immigrants, and communities too often ignored by the political establishment.

The proud son of Mexican immigrants, Casar first gained national attention in Texas politics as a labor-backed organizer and progressive city councilmember willing to take on corporate interests and Republican extremism head-on. 

In Congress, he has become a leading advocate for:

  • Raising wages and strengthening unions
  • Medicare for All
  • Taking on corporate monopolies and billionaire greed
  • Defending voting rights and civil rights
  • Climate action and environmental justice
  • Protecting immigrant families

And unlike too many politicians in Washington, Greg has consistently argued that Democrats must stop running away from economic populism and start directly confronting the corporations and billionaires rigging the economy against working people. 

Leading the Progressive Movement in Congress

Greg’s rise to chair of the Congressional Progressive Caucus marks a major moment for the movement.

He became the first CPC chair from a red state — proof that bold progressive politics can resonate far beyond traditional Democratic strongholds. 

And he’s using that platform to organize Democrats around a clear vision: a party that fights unapologetically for working people against corporate greed.

From touring red districts alongside Bernie Sanders on the “Fighting Oligarchy” tour to pushing Democrats to focus relentlessly on affordability and economic justice, Casar has become one of the clearest national voices for a new generation of progressive leadership. 

The Stakes in This Race

Greg’s re-election campaign comes amid aggressive Republican-led redistricting efforts in Texas designed to weaken Democratic power and reshape the political map. 

But Casar has continued organizing through the attacks — building a strong grassroots campaign and consolidating broad support across Austin-area progressives, labor allies, and movement leaders. 

This race is about more than one congressional seat.

It’s about whether the Democratic Party will continue moving toward a bold, working-class politics that takes on concentrated wealth and corporate power — or retreat back toward cautious establishment politics that have failed working people for decades.

Greg Casar has made his choice clear.

And Our Revolution is proud to stand with him.

When we organize, we win.

The 2026 primaries are happening right now.

The Supreme Court just gutted the Voting Rights Act. Dark money is flooding our elections. And the Democratic establishment is intervening in key races to try to block the very progressives we need to win.

But here’s what they’re missing: the energy is on our side.

Across the country, we’re seeing it firsthand as we hit the streets to get out the vote for a new generation of candidates who have stepped up — inspired by Bernie and ready to fight for real change. See all of our endorsed candidates here!

Yes, we’re working to elect bold progressives to Congress. But Our Revolution is also doing something no one else is: building power from the ground up.

This is how we build the bench. We stood with some of the candidates below when they first ran for school board, and now they’re running for mayor, state senate, and beyond.

These are movement candidates — rejecting corporate money, building grassroots momentum, and generating the energy we’ll need to defeat MAGA in November.

We’ve shown we can put millions in the streets — now we need to get millions out the vote. If you can, chip in a donation of any amount to help us call, text, and knock doors ahead of election day.

On Monday, candidates from some of the top races in the country joined our LIVE National Organize to Win Town Hall to speak directly with our movement about what it will take to win.

While we’ve never endorsed a billionaire before, Tom Steyer is running to deliver on our top progressive priorities — including Medicare for All, taxing extreme wealth, and taking on ICE and utility monopolies — with a focus on making California affordable for working people.

He has been a partner to the movement, investing in climate advocacy and grassroots organizing while taking on corporate power. As Tom told our members, “We can’t nibble around the edges — we have to take on the system head-on and deliver real change for working people.” See our full slate of California endorsements here!

On the call, Janeese Lewis George talked about her run for Mayor of Washington, D.C. and what it will mean to lead the nation’s capital while Trump occupies the city.

As a DC Council member and proud democratic socialist, Janeese has built her career by fighting for universal childcare, social housing, labor protections, and making the city affordable — in a race where corporate developers and establishment forces are lining up against her.

As Janeese told our members, “If we want to protect our communities, we need leadership that won’t back down — even when the pressure is coming straight from the White House.”

Eric Jones talked on the organizing call Monday about his campaign for Congress in CA-04 — and why it’s time to challenge decades of status quo leadership.

Running in Napa Valley against a 27-year Democratic incumbent, Eric is stepping up to take on corporate power and deliver real results for working families.

An entrepreneur and nonprofit founder, he’s focused on cutting everyday costs, expanding affordable childcare and elder care, and putting money back in people’s pockets — while holding corporations like PG&E accountable and pushing for stronger wildfire prevention.

As Eric told our members, “This district deserves leadership that’s willing to take on corruption and fight for working people — not protect the system that’s failing them.”

On the call, we were also proud to endorse Matt Dunlap for Congress in Maine’s 2nd District.

A former Secretary of State and Bernie 2016 co-chair, Matt has spent decades defending voting rights — including taking on Trump’s voter suppression commission — and fighting for real economic justice.

But as Matt shared with our members, even after his opponent (Jared Golden, the most conservative Democrat in Congress) stepped aside, Hakeem Jeffries and the DCCC rushed to endorse another candidate rather than support a proven progressive.

That’s fine — Matt is building a powerful grassroots campaign and leading the polls with our movement at his back.

We’re also proud to endorse Aisha Wahab for Congress in CA-04.

Born to Afghan refugees, Aisha made history as the first Muslim elected to the California State Senate — now she’s running to bring bold leadership to Washington as she takes on the establishment in an open race to replace disgraced Eric Swalwell.

Backed by leaders like Pramila Jayapal, Greg Casar, and Maxwell Frost, Aisha is building a strong grassroots campaign focused on affordability and housing in one of the most expensive regions in the country.

As she told our members, this race is about whether the district elects a real progressive who will fight for people — or more of the same politics that put corporate interests first.

★ ★ ★

On the call, Our Revolution ally Brandee Marckmann talked about why San Francisco needs to stop treating public schools like a budget problem and start investing in them as the foundation of strong communities.

As a community organizer, Brandee has been on the frontlines defending public education — founding the SF Education Alliance to push back against privatization and fight for schools that serve all students.

She’s running to support educators, expand equity, and build community-driven schools that work for working families — not corporate interests.

MORE NEW ENDORSEMENTS!

Big Tech billionaires are pouring money into politics to stop regulation and protect their power. Alex Bores is one of the few politicians actually taking them on — and he has our support for Congress in NY-12.

A leader on some of the strongest AI accountability legislation in the country, Alex is fighting for a future where technology serves people — not corporate monopolies and billionaires.

He’s running on a bold agenda to take on concentrated wealth, political corruption, and corporate power — and bring a new generation of progressive leadership to Congress. Check out more New York endorsements here.

For decades, this Georgia Congress seat has been represented by the status quo. Now voters have a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to send a new generation of progressive leadership to Congress with Everton Blair for Congress in GA-13.

A former teacher and school board chair, Everton is running to fight for working families — with a bold agenda centered on Medicare for All, affordable housing, childcare, fully funded public schools, and good-paying jobs.

As Everton told our movement: “GA-13 deserves representation that will fight to put people over profit at every turn. Now is our time.”

NEW AFFORDABILITY AGENDA

Last week, Our Revolution activists joined Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Chuy Garcia, Greg Casar, and other leaders in the Congressional Progressive Caucus to launch a bold new Affordability Agenda.

This is exactly the kind of platform Democrats should be running on in 2026 — and passing into law in 2027.

From lowering prescription drug prices and childcare costs to taking on corporate price gouging and utility monopolies, this agenda is about putting money back in people’s pockets and taking power away from billionaires.

At a time when families are being squeezed, we’re standing with leaders who are fighting for real solutions — not more politics as usual.

Nine courageous activists put their bodies on the line and were arrested in the fight to hold politicians accountable this week as we wrapped up the March on Harrisburg.

Our Revolution was proud to join the 4-day march from Reading, PA to the State Capital, where we addressed press and voices echoed the call: Which side are you on?

Working people are struggling to get by while billionaires buy influence with massive checks, lavish gifts, and secret Super PAC money. We marched to say enough is enough: Stop the billionaire bribes and pass a ban on political ‘gifts.’
