Estuardo Mazariegos for LA City Council D-9

By ALL, CA, Endorsement

Estuardo Mazariegos for LA City Council D-9

 

Our Revolution is proud to endorse Estuardo Mazariegos for Los Angeles City Council District 9.

Estuardo has spent nearly two decades organizing alongside working families in South Los Angeles. Now, he’s running to take that fight to City Hall.

A father, immigrant and longtime community organizer, Mazariegos came to Los Angeles as a child after his family fled political violence in Guatemala. Today, he serves as Co-Director of the Alliance of Californians for Community Empowerment (ACCE), where he has helped turn neighborhood organizing into citywide victories for tenants and working families.

His campaign points to a record that includes helping lead the fights for Los Angeles’ Tenant Anti-Harassment Ordinance and Resident Protection Ordinance and helping pass Measure ULA, which raises revenue for affordable housing and homelessness programs.

That organizing background is at the heart of his campaign for City Council.

Mazariegos is running on a platform to lower rents, strengthen tenant protections, expand social housing, raise wages and improve basic city services. He also supports making buses free, expanding protected bike and bus lanes, investing in community-based violence prevention and mental-health care, and strengthening police accountability.

His campaign puts immigrant rights front and center, calling for legal representation and due process regardless of immigration status, stronger access to city services and greater economic protections for immigrant families. And he has laid out proposals addressing environmental justice and protections for LGBTQ+ Angelenos.

Mazariegos refuses money from corporate PACs, real estate developers and police associations, instead running a grassroots campaign accountable to District 9 residents rather than wealthy or well-connected interests.

For Mazariegos, the through-line is the same one that has defined his years as an organizer: building power for the people who make Los Angeles run — workers, tenants, immigrants and families — and demanding that city government deliver for them.

Let’s send Estuardo to LA City Hall!

When we organize, we win.

Torres-Walker and Wilson for Antioch City Council

By ALL, CA, Endorsement

Torres-Walker and Wilson for Antioch City Council

 

Two longtime community advocates are seeking another term on the Antioch City Council this November: Tamisha Torres-Walker in District 1 and Monica Wilson in District 4.

Both have powerful progressive records on the issues — affordable housing, tenant protections, police accountability, community-based public safety, mental-health services and support for working families.

Tamisha Torres-Walker — District 1

Tamisha Torres-Walker is a mother, grandmother, community organizer and advocate who has represented District 1 since 2020.

She helped secure $3.9 million for community-based gun-violence prevention and intervention, supporting a mobile mental-health crisis response team and Antioch’s first civilian police oversight body.

On housing, she has fought for rent stabilization and stronger tenant protections. She has also backed efforts to stop oil and gas drilling and shut down a gas pipeline running through the community.

In another term, Tamisha would continue expanding youth and violence-prevention programs, protecting renters, creating pathways to affordable homeownership, addressing homelessness, strengthening police accountability and bringing good jobs to Antioch.

Monica Wilson — District 4

Monica Wilson made history as the first African American woman elected to the Antioch City Council. Now in her fourth term, she brings more than two decades of experience as a community organizer, nonprofit leader and public servant.

Monica has worked on police reform and accountability, expanding mental-health crisis response, homelessness and neighborhood safety. She has been a longtime advocate against human trafficking, working with Love Never Fails on services for survivors and alongside the Contra Costa County District Attorney’s Office on efforts to establish the county’s Human Trafficking Task Force.

Her campaign is focused on strengthening neighborhoods, supporting families and building a more resilient local economy — with an emphasis on transparent, accountable local government that delivers for Antioch residents.

Let’s re-elect these two amazing progressives to the Antioch City Council. Vote on November 3!

When we organize, we win.

Jocelyn “Joz” Sida for Mayor of Fontana

Jocelyn “Joz” Sida for Mayor of Fontana

 

Our Revolution is proud to endorse Jocelyn “Joz” Sida for Mayor of Fontana — a longtime grassroots organizer and environmental justice leader running to put working families ahead of corporate interests at City Hall.

Joz has called Fontana home since she was 14. A proud daughter of immigrants, she has spent more than 15 years organizing for equity, justice, and opportunity — from neighborhoods in the Inland Empire to campaigns across the country.

Her organizing résumé runs deep. Joz has served as the first-ever Chapter Director of the Sierra Club San Gorgonio Chapter, National Field Director for Progressive Turnout Project and Corazón Latino, State Director for Mi Familia Vota in Nevada, and a National Campaigner with MoveOn.

Now, she’s bringing that experience home — with a campaign focused on shifting power back to the people of Fontana.

Clean Air Over Corporate Profits

At the center of Joz’s campaign is a fight that Fontana families know firsthand: the explosive growth of warehouses and truck traffic.

Joz is calling for a halt to warehouse expansion and pledging to push back against increased truck traffic and the air pollution that comes with it.

Her message is simple: clean air is a right, not a luxury.

Instead of building an economy around warehouses and corporations extracting wealth from the community, Joz wants Fontana to invest in small businesses, street vendors, local entrepreneurs, good jobs, and fair wages — keeping more prosperity in the community.

A Fontana Working Families Can Afford

Joz is also taking on the housing crisis.

She supports rent protections, genuinely affordable housing, and development that strengthens neighborhoods without displacing the people who already live there.

For Joz, these fights are connected. A thriving Fontana means families can afford to stay in their communities, breathe clean air, find good jobs, and count on the basic public services they deserve.

That includes clean parks and safe streets, stronger support for seniors, and more opportunities for young people. Joz wants to expand youth programs, after-school support, and leadership development so Fontana’s next generation has real pathways to thrive.

Taking On the Insider Game

Joz is also running on changing how City Hall itself works.

Her platform calls for transparent leadership, honest communication, and greater respect for public input, with residents having a meaningful voice in the decisions shaping their neighborhoods.

She is also pledging to stand up for Fontana’s immigrant families, so residents can take their children to school, access city services, and participate in their communities without fear, regardless of immigration status.

From environmental justice and affordable housing to immigrant rights and government accountability, Joz Sida is offering a people-centered vision for Fontana’s future.

She has spent her career organizing communities and building coalitions to challenge entrenched power. Now, she’s bringing that fight home.

Our Revolution is proud to endorse Jocelyn “Joz” Sida for Mayor of Fontana.

It’s time to put clean air over warehouse profits, affordable housing over developer handouts, and the people of Fontana at the center of City Hall.

When we organize, we win.

Demi Palecek for Illinois State House District 13

By ALL, Endorsement, IL

Demi Palecek for Illinois State House District 13

 

Our Revolution is proud to endorse Demi Palecek for Illinois State House District 13 — a working-class organizer, veteran, and community advocate running to take on entrenched power and make Springfield work for everyday people.

For Demi, the struggles facing working families aren’t abstract.

She started working as a teenager, washing dishes to help her family make ends meet, and later joined the military as a pathway out of poverty. Those experiences shaped a politics rooted in worker power, economic justice, and the belief that everyone deserves the security to build a good life.

And Demi has been organizing in her community long before running for office. She has organized mutual aid, stood with workers and tenants, fought for immigrant and LGBTQ+ communities, and defended transgender soldiers’ rights while serving in the Army National Guard.

Now, she’s ready to bring that fighting spirit to Springfield.

Taking on the Affordability Crisis

Demi believes housing is a human right — and she’s prepared to take on the corporate landlords and policies driving working people out of their neighborhoods.

She supports lifting Illinois’ statewide ban on rent control so communities can enact strong rent stabilization, establishing just-cause eviction protections, expanding public and permanently affordable housing, and strengthening protections for tenants.

She also understands that you can’t solve the affordability crisis without confronting economic inequality. Demi supports a living wage tied to inflation, stronger collective bargaining rights, easier pathways for workers to organize, and Project Labor Agreements that guarantee union jobs, prevailing wages, benefits, and strong safety standards on state-funded projects.

And she wants Illinois to move away from a tax system where working families shoulder too much of the burden. Demi supports progressive taxation that asks wealthy people to pay more so Illinois can invest in the public services everyone depends on.

Healthcare Is a Right

Demi is equally clear when it comes to healthcare: it should be a right, not a privilege.

She supports Medicare for All at the federal level while fighting to expand coverage in Illinois, lower prescription drug costs, strengthen community health centers, and rebuild healthcare infrastructure in working-class communities.

She’s also an unapologetic defender of reproductive freedom, supporting expanded access to abortion, contraception, fertility treatments, maternal healthcare, and other reproductive services — while protecting patients and providers from attacks coming from outside Illinois.

Building Working-Class Power

Demi’s vision for Illinois connects economic justice with climate justice.

She supports major public investment in renewable energy, green infrastructure, weatherization, and expanded public transit — investments that can tackle the climate crisis while creating good-paying union jobs. She wants polluters held accountable and clean air and water protected as basic rights.

She’s also committed to strong public schools, including universal pre-K, equitable funding, and keeping public dollars in public education rather than privatization.

Across these fights, Demi’s message is consistent: government should use its power to improve the lives of working people — not protect the profits and privilege of those already at the top.

That’s the kind of grassroots leadership Our Revolution is working to elect at every level of government.

Our Revolution is proud to endorse Demi Palecek for Illinois State House District 13.

Let’s send a working-class organizer to Springfield who knows what it means to struggle, knows how to organize, and is ready to fight for affordable housing, universal healthcare, strong unions, reproductive freedom, and an economy that puts working people first.

When we organize, we win.

Vermont Prop 3: Put Workers’ Rights in the Constitution

By ALL, Endorsement, VT

Vermont Prop 3: Put Workers’ Rights in the Constitution

 

The right to organize shouldn’t depend on who is in power. It should be a fundamental right.

That’s why Our Revolution is proud to support Vermont Proposal 3, the Workers’ Rights Amendment that would enshrine the right to organize and collectively bargain in the Vermont Constitution.

On November 3, Vermonters have the opportunity to put worker power directly into their state’s Declaration of Rights.

Proposal 3 would establish that employees have the right to organize or join a labor organization and bargain collectively over wages, hours, working conditions, and workplace safety. It would also prohibit future state laws from interfering with or diminishing those collective bargaining rights.

That matters.

For generations, unions have given working people a way to stand together and demand a voice on the job. When workers can organize collectively, they have power to negotiate with employers instead of facing them alone.

And Proposal 3 is about protecting that power for the long haul.

The amendment would prevent Vermont from adopting a so-called “right-to-work” law that undermines union agreements. Instead of leaving fundamental organizing rights vulnerable to changing political winds, Vermont voters can give those rights constitutional protection.

This is a chance to send a powerful message: working people have a fundamental right to organize for better wages, safer workplaces, and better lives.

Proposal 3 has already cleared a significant hurdle. It passed the Vermont Senate unanimously, 29–0, and won the Vermont House 125–15, sending the question directly to voters.

Now, the final decision belongs to the people of Vermont.

At Our Revolution, we believe rebuilding worker power is essential to taking on concentrated corporate wealth and creating an economy that works for everyone. Workers should have the freedom to come together, organize a union, and negotiate collectively without worrying that those rights could disappear with the next election.

Worker power is people power.

This November, Vermont can put that principle into its Constitution — and protect it for generations to come.

Let’s make the right to organize and collectively bargain a fundamental right in Vermont.

🗳️ Vote YES on Proposal 3 on November 3.

When workers organize, workers win. And when workers win, we all win.

Daniel Biss for Congress in Illinois’ 9th District

By ALL, Endorsement, IL

Daniel Biss for Congress in Illinois’ 9th District

 

Our Revolution is proud to endorse Daniel Biss for Congress in Illinois’ 9th District — a proven progressive leader who has spent his career taking on entrenched power, delivering real change, and fighting for a government and an economy that work for working people.

A mathematician, community activist, former Illinois state legislator, and current mayor of Evanston, Daniel isn’t just someone who talks about progressive change — he has a record of making it happen.

In the Illinois legislature, Daniel helped pass protections for LGBTQ+ youth, major abortion rights legislation, retirement savings options for hundreds of thousands of Illinoisans, and stronger technology privacy protections. As mayor, he took on money and entrenched power to enact campaign finance reform and helped pass a first-in-the-state Healthy Buildings Ordinance to curb carbon emissions.

Now, Daniel is ready to take that fight to Washington.

His Future We Deserve Agenda takes direct aim at the concentration of corporate and billionaire power that has made life harder for working families. Daniel wants to strengthen antitrust enforcement, crack down on private equity abuse, end corporate tax breaks for companies that outsource jobs and exploit workers, cap credit card interest rates, expand tuition-free public college, and take on Big Pharma, Big Insurance, Big Tech, and Big Oil.

Daniel understands that economic inequality and political inequality go hand in hand. He supports making wealthy Americans pay their fair share, expanding Social Security benefits, protecting Medicare and Medicaid, and Medicare for All. He is also refusing corporate PAC money because he believes elected officials should answer to their constituents — not corporations and wealthy special interests.

And Daniel is serious about changing the rules that allow big money and corruption to dominate our democracy. He supports public matching funds for small-dollar campaign contributions, getting corporate money out of politics, banning members of Congress from trading stocks, ending the revolving door between Congress and lobbying, imposing an enforceable ethics code on the Supreme Court, and establishing 18-year term limits for Supreme Court justices.

At a moment when Donald Trump is testing the limits of presidential power, Daniel is also prepared to fight back. His agenda calls for passing the No Kings Act to reject unlimited presidential immunity, restoring Congress’s authority, defending voting rights, protecting abortion and LGBTQ+ rights, and strengthening civil liberties nationwide.

Daniel has been organizing for progressive change since he was 25, when he spoke out against the Iraq War and began organizing for progressive candidates and causes. From the state legislature to Evanston City Hall, he has shown that progressive government can take on powerful interests and deliver results.

Now, he’s ready to bring that fight to Congress.

Our Revolution is proud to endorse Daniel Biss for Congress in IL-09. Together, we can elect another bold progressive who will take on corporate power, defend our democracy, and put working people at the center of our politics.

🗳️ Early voting runs September 24 through November 2.
Election Day is Tuesday, November 3.

Chris Jones for Iowa Secretary of Agriculture

By ALL, Endorsement, IA

Chris Jones for Iowa Secretary of Agriculture

 

Our Revolution is proud to endorse Chris Jones for Iowa Secretary of Agriculture — a research scientist, author, water quality expert, and fearless advocate ready to take on corporate agriculture and fight for clean water, sustainable farms, and thriving rural communities.

For more than 40 years, Chris has worked at the intersection of agriculture, science, and Iowa’s water. He managed the water quality testing laboratory at Des Moines Water Works, worked as an environmental scientist at the Iowa Soybean Association, and helped develop Iowa’s first real-time public water quality sensor network as a research engineer at the University of Iowa.

Now, he’s running to fundamentally change who Iowa’s Department of Agriculture works for.

Chris believes Iowans shouldn’t have to choose between a prosperous agricultural economy and clean drinking water. His vision challenges an agricultural system dominated by corn, soybeans, concentrated animal feeding operations, and ethanol — and lays out a path toward a more diverse, sustainable, and resilient rural economy.

At the center of his campaign is a commitment to clean water and corporate accountability. Chris supports enforceable pollution standards while helping farmers who want to transition toward more sustainable operations. He wants to restore local control over livestock CAFOs, regulate nutrient pollution, protect stream banks, strengthen environmental enforcement, and establish clean air and clean water as fundamental rights in Iowa’s Constitution.

But Chris’s vision goes well beyond conservation. He wants to rebuild rural Iowa from the ground up.

That means creating markets for alternative crops, strengthening local food systems, expanding parks and public spaces, helping communities establish orchards, bringing mobile grocery stores to rural communities and food deserts, and connecting Iowa-grown food directly to Iowa families. He also proposes providing free school breakfast and lunch to children who want it — using food grown and raised in Iowa.

Chris is also willing to confront powerful interests that have shaped Iowa agriculture for decades. His campaign calls for a strategic move away from corn-based ethanol, tougher accountability for agribusiness polluters, and an agricultural system that puts farmers, families, public health, and Iowa’s land and water ahead of corporate power.

This is the kind of bold leadership Iowa needs — grounded in science, willing to challenge the status quo, and driven by the belief that rural prosperity and environmental stewardship can go hand in hand.

Our Revolution is proud to endorse Chris Jones for Iowa Secretary of Agriculture.

Early voting begins October 14 and runs through November 2, ahead of Election Day on Tuesday, November 3.

Let’s elect a Secretary of Agriculture who will fight for Iowa’s farmers, families, communities — and clean water for generations to come.

When we organize, we win.

Progressives for Massachusetts House & Senate

By ALL, Endorsement, MA

Progressives for Massachusetts House & Senate

 

Massachusetts voters sent a powerful message in the primaries: they’re ready for a new generation of progressive leadership on Beacon Hill.

Our Revolution is proud to endorse three candidates who took on the establishment and won: Erika Uyterhoeven for State Senate in the 2nd Middlesex District, Jack Richardson for State House in the 3rd Barnstable District, and Mike Connolly for re-election to the State House in the 26th Middlesex District.

Now, it’s time to finish the job in the midterm general election.

Early voting runs October 17–30.

Erika Uyterhoeven: Taking on Entrenched Power

A three-term State Representative, antitrust economist, organizer, and daughter of immigrants, Erika Uyterhoeven knows something about challenging powerful interests.

She co-founded Act on Mass to bring greater transparency to Beacon Hill, helping win reforms that brought previously hidden committee votes into public view.

Now, after defeating the establishment in the primary, Erika is running for State Senate on a progressive agenda to tackle affordability, expand housing and public transit, lower energy costs, protect workers, and make state government more accountable to the people.

Jack Richardson: Fighting for the Cape

Jack Richardson is a third-generation, lifelong Falmouth resident who is already delivering for his community.

As a member of the Falmouth Select Board, Jack helped deliver a residential tax exemption that saves the average year-round household about $400 annually, protect the Long Pond watershed, and enact a policy barring ICE agents from entering town property without a judicial warrant.

After beating the establishment in the primary, he’s ready to bring that fight to Beacon Hill — for affordable year-round housing, reproductive freedom, environmental protection, and working families.

And he’s doing it without corporate PAC money.

Mike Connolly: A Progressive Fighter Who Delivers

Growing up in low-income public housing and spending time in foster care shaped Mike Connolly’s belief that government should be there for people when they need it most.

As an organizer and State Representative, Mike has helped fight for the $15 minimum wage, Paid Family and Medical Leave, the Fair Share Amendment, affordable housing, rent stabilization, immigrant rights, reproductive freedom, and stronger public transit.

And Mike has shown he’s willing to challenge Beacon Hill’s power structure when it stands in the way of progressive change. Voters backed that record by sending him through another hard-fought primary against the establishment.

Erika, Jack, and Mike didn’t wait for permission from the political establishment. They organized, they ran, and they won.

Now, let’s carry that people-powered momentum into the general election and send all three to Beacon Hill.

Athena Aguiar for Eugene City Council Ward 5

Athena Aguiar for Eugene City Council, Ward 5

 

Our Revolution is proud to endorse Athena Aguiar for Eugene City Council, Ward 5 — a grassroots candidate running to make Eugene safer, more affordable, more inclusive, and more responsive to the people who call it home.

Athena is running with a vision for local government that delivers where people feel it most: affordable housing, strong public services, accessible transportation, lower costs, and safe, welcoming communities.

At a time when families are getting squeezed by rising costs, Athena wants Eugene to build more housing — especially for low- and middle-income residents — while expanding Bus Rapid Transit and making it easier and safer to get around by adding protected bike lanes and sidewalks.

She also wants to tackle two major expenses hitting working families: childcare and energy bills. Athena supports state efforts to create Universal Pre-K and wants the city to work with businesses and childcare providers to expand sponsored programs. She’s also calling for taxing big corporate profits to fund energy efficiency and weatherization that can lower household energy costs.

Athena understands that strong communities need strong public services. She is committed to protecting funding for Eugene’s libraries, parks, and recreational facilities and fully funding crisis-response programs like CAHOOTS so people experiencing a crisis can get accessible care while freeing up traditional emergency responders.

And she isn’t afraid to stand up for Eugene’s values.

Athena wants the city to enforce Oregon’s sanctuary laws and cease cooperation with ICE, prevent Eugene from working with companies that have facilitated deportations, defend LGBTQ+ rights, and make Eugene a more welcoming community for people of color.

She’s also bringing the climate fight to City Hall — supporting building electrification, action to reduce transportation emissions, and reforms that give industry less influence.

This is what local progressive leadership should look like: taking on big corporate interests while fighting for affordable housing, lower costs, public services, climate action, and a community where everyone belongs.

Let’s build a Eugene that works for working people — and bring a new progressive voice to City Hall.

When we organize, we win.
