BIG WIN IN WISCONSIN!

All eyes were on Wisconsin this week, where the grassroots rose up to defeat Elon Musk, who thought he could buy the crucial State Supreme Court seat.

Bernie rallied in the state, and Our Revolution made 180,000 calls and texts to turn out the progressive vote and help elect Judge Susan Crawford.

“Despite pouring over $20 million into this race, the world’s wealthiest man failed to secure a conservative majority on the court,” Our Revolution leader Joseph Geevarghese told WisPolitics.com.

“This is a victory for abortion access and worker rights, and it’s a critical referendum on Trump and Musk’s lawless agenda.”

ACTION TODAY — HANDS OFF!

Trump and Musk’s power grab must be stopped. That’s why Our Revolution is joining hundreds of thousands of people across the country TODAY to tell the Oligarchs, “Hands Off!”

We demand an end to the billionaire takeover and rampant corruption of the Trump regime, and an end to slashing Medicaid, Social Security, and other programs we rely on.

With more than 1000 actions nationwide, this will be the largest mass protest since Jan. 20, and we will speak with one voice.

The massive protests and rallies aren’t just about venting frustrations. We’re mobilizing behind Bernie, AOC, and other leaders - not just to push back - but to set out a powerful vision of what we’re fighting FOR.

Higher wages, worker rights, equal justice, good jobs, anti-corruption, real democracy, healthcare, education, housing and more. This is what the people support, and we’re building up leadership who will fight to deliver.

TESLA TAKEDOWN!

Last weekend, Our Revolution activists showed up in massive numbers for Tesla Takedown actions nationwide.

We are keeping up the pressure on Elon Musk — and it’s working. Tesla’s brand is becoming toxic as sales and stock prices take a huge hit.

Musk says he’ll be stepping away from government in the coming weeks. Good!! But we know DOGE’s destruction and the corruption of the Oligarchs isn’t going away.

Connect with our Citizen Action Team to plug in with upcoming actions and events to keep the pressure on Musk!

DEFENDING THE U.S. POSTAL SERVICE

Our Revolution recently joined with the American Postal Workers Union to organize a powerful grassroots Day of Action against privatization threats and attacks on collective bargaining.

From big cities like New York to small-towns in Iowa, thousands chanted “The U.S. Mail Is Not for Sale” and vowed to oppose plans by the Trump regime to dismantle the USPS.

As Mark Dimondstein, President of the APWU, told Our Revolution members at a recent virtual town hall, “Privatization is a mathematical equation—shifting public money to Wall Street investors for maximum profit, not service,” Dimondstein said.

“The administration’s corporate coup is hollowing out essential services, paving the way for billionaires to cash in while degrading workers' rights.”

STOP TRUMP’S WAR ON WORKERS

While Donald Trump campaigned as a “worker champion,” he’s stripping union rights away from federal workers, rolling back organizing reforms passed by the National Labor Relations Board and gutting the US Department of Labor.

Former Labor Secretary Julie Su, following up on her remarks at Our Revolution’s War on Workers Town Hall last month, authored a new Century Foundation report that describes how Trump’s draconian budget cuts will give corporate bosses a greenlight to steal worker wages, violate health and safety standards, and engage in unlawful discrimination.

TELL CONGRESS: FIGHT FOR WORKERS

DEFENDING TRANS CIVIL RIGHTS

On Monday — Transgender Day of Visibility — Our Revolution joined Public Citizen, Indivisible and other allies to stand in solidarity with the trans community as MAGA ramps up its attacks.

Our Revolution leader Joseph Geevarghese addressed the crowd on the National Mall — alongside Reps. Pramila Jayapal, Rashida Tlaib, Summer Lee, Lateefah Simon, Maxwell Frost and others — to demand the protection of the civil rights of ALL people.

“The Republican strategy is to divide and distract Americans — to blame our LGBT+, immigrants and other vulnerable groups for the challenges our country faces while they pull the rug out from under working families,” Joseph said.

★ ★ ★

PROTECTING PUBLIC MEDIA

Donald Trump just unleashed a chilling all-caps Twitter rant demanding that NPR and PBS be eliminated because they’re "radical left monsters."

Trump’s tweet closely followed a new push by MAGA extremist Marjorie Taylor Greene to use the imminent reconciliation bill to defund PBS and NPR.

It’s hard to overstate the significance of this. The chief executive of PBS recently said, “The future of a number of our stations across the country will be in jeopardy if this funding is not continued.”

Why target them now? Because Trump and Greene know exactly what's at stake: unbiased reporting and factual accountability are a massive threat to the misinformation environment he thrives on.

This is about safeguarding the very foundations of an informed, educated, and empowered public.

That’s why Our Revolution has been working tirelessly with our partners Free Press, ACLU, and NABET-CWA to run attention-grabbing demonstrations, channel enormous pressure onto Congress, and activate our Citizen Action Team across the country.

Add your name today: Tell Speaker Johnson and Congress that we won't let Trump silence NPR and PBS.

POWER-BUILDING IN ST. LOUIS!

Election Day is THIS Tuesday in St. Louis, Missouri — and we’re getting out the vote to build on the progressive governing majority our movement has helped elect in the city cycle after cycle!

All four of our endorsed candidates for the St. Louis Board of Alders will be champions for higher wages, better housing, clean water, and more.

We’re excited to endorse Anne Schweitzer in Ward 1. Since her election in 2021, Anne has been a champion for raising wages, clean water, better housing, safety and more.

In Ward 11, we’re backing Rebecca McCloud. With her focus on economic development, mental health, and better food systems, Rebecca will be a fighter for the people of St. Louis.

In Ward 7, Our Revolution supports Alisha Sonnier, who is dedicated to youth and family empowerment, equitable development, and housing as a human right.

And, in Ward 3, Shane Cohn has been a tireless advocate for our neighborhoods, youth, and public safety for over 15 years. From safer streets to jobs to defending public resources, Shane gets results.

Our progressive bloc in St. Louis - led by Board of Alders President and Our Revolution Board Member Megan Green - have already successfully pushed initiatives for labor, wages, direct democracy, universal basic income and more. Let’s keep it going!

BARBARA LEE FOR OAKLAND MAYOR!

Our Revolution is proud to be in Barbara Lee’s corner! Barbara is a close ally and a lifelong leader in progressive politics — and now she’s running for Mayor of Oakland, CA!

Barbara was the first black woman in Northern California elected to Congress, where she has put it all on the line to push for peace, stand up for poor and working people, and advocate for reproductive rights and so much more.

Barbara Lee is fearless, and we want to see her bring her strength and experience to the mayor’s seat!

TEXAS ENDORSEMENTS

After packing arenas across the Midwest, Colorado, and Texas — Bernie called on our movement to turn that energy into electing the next generation up and down the ballot.

That’s precisely what Bernie founded Our Revolution to do, and 2025 is a big year for state and local elections to make our communities more resilient under the Trump regime.

Here’s some of our latest endorsements — in Texas!

First up — our proud endorsement of Laura Cadena in the City Council race in Dallas.

Laura served in City Hall for eight years and has a deep understanding of how local government can work hand-in-hand with the community.

From cost of living and affordable housing to climate action and sustainability, Laura is a champion on the issues that matter most. Now, she’s running a people-powered campaign to make sure public money serves the people of Dallas.

Also in Dallas, we’re happy to support Adam Bazaldua for re-election in District 7.

Adam chaired the Dallas Green Alliance before being elected to the city council in 2019, where he has served on committees for the environment, workforce education and equity, economic development, and more.

Adam has brought bold leadership and a vision for progress to City Hall, and now as Deputy Mayor Pro Tem. We know he will continue to fight tirelessly for the people of Dallas.

★ ★ ★

In Fort Worth, we’re putting our support behind Chris Nettles in his run for re-election to City Council in District 8.

Chris understands that local government must meet the needs of Fort Worth’s growing population — working to expand public transportation, increase affordable housing, and grow the number of good-paying jobs.

He’s also developed a 3-step plan to help the houseless population, providing direct resources for health, skills training, and support for long-term stability.

The Democratic base is ANGRY. People want to see party leaders take action and use their power to fight the Trump regime.

Instead, we’re seeing many Democrats at the highest levels CAVE to Trump — many voting in Congress to confirm his cabinet members and pass the GOP spending bill.

“Democratic incumbents should absolutely be worried about holding onto power, because there’s a real energy right now against them,” Paco Fabián, deputy director of Our Revolution, told the Associated Press. “And as soon as somebody figures out how to harness it, they’re going to be in deep trouble.”

After Schumer and 9 Senate Dems gave Trump the votes he needed for the GOP spending bill, we asked 9,000 Our Revolution supporters what you thought:

• 99% want Dems to fight Trump & Musk more.

•88% think Schumer should step aside or be ousted as Senate Minority Leader, AND 86% would support a primary challenger against him

•83% would support primaries against all 10 senators who voted for the GOP spending bill.

Thousands commented, expressing “anger, betrayal, disgust, embarrassment.” We heard from people of all ages and backgrounds saying they felt “wildly frustrated and defeated” or stating that “the direction of the Democratic Party has been a disaster.”

One man told us: "I'm in shock” and asked, “Why do they do this to us?” One woman described the party as "weak, unorganized, lost.” Another just wrote a single word: “Cowardice.”

Our Revolution is working from the inside and outside to Transform the Party. We’ve been getting strong progressives into top party positions — and we’re organizing NOW to elect the next generation into office now through the midterms. Chip in to help power this effort!

As the new president of the Association of State Democratic Committees, Our Revolution board member Jane Kleeb is shaking up Democratic Party strategy with a bold rural-first reform agenda.

“We’re listening to our members,” Jane said in an interview with Barn Raiser, emphasizing direct communication with state parties and grassroots voices long sidelined.

Her approach centers on voter engagement and local empowerment—hallmarks of her success as Nebraska Party Chair, where she doubled the number of elected Democrats through innovative programs like the Block Captain model.

“Democrats don’t have local elected official lists in many states. That is a priority for me,” she declares, underscoring her mission to rebuild the party from the county up, not the Beltway down. Her goal: a party rooted in community, ready to organize and win in every zip code.

Our Revolution Massachusetts is working with the AFL-CIO to elect delegates committed to a working-class agenda and win much-needed party reforms.

Every major analysis of the November 2024 election agrees that the defection of working-class voters from the Democratic Party explains the disappointing results. This was true in Massachusetts as well.

The Mass AFL-CIO recently asked union members to attend their local Democratic caucus meetings and run for delegates to the Mass Dems convention in September.

Mass AFL-CIO hopes a strong turnout of union members and supporters at the convention will win support for its 2025 Legislative Priorities and a new RaiseUp initiative to combat offshore tax dodging and make billionaire global corporations pay their fair share!

Let us know if you plan to attend your Democratic caucus and if you are interested in running for delegate.

GRASSROOTS DEFEAT MUSK IN WISCONSIN

By Homepage2

GRASSROOTS DEFEAT MUSK IN WISCONSIN!

Elon Musk just got handed a major defeat in Wisconsin — and we showed the country he’s not invincible, and that when we mobilize together, we can stand up to even the wealthiest billionaire bullies.

But let’s be clear: Musk is far from defeated. 

Right now, Musk and Trump’s plans to gut the Social Security administration are starting to take effect, their attacks on NPR & PBS are at a fever pitch, and their legislation to gut Medicaid is coming to fruition.

Here’s the good news: Musk’s humiliation in Wisconsin has Republicans panicking and looking to distance themselves from his destructive DOGE agenda. 

We have a narrow, critical window to exploit this growing division to protect programs that millions of Americans count on every single day. The Our Revolution team has just decided to double down on targeting vulnerable Republicans to stop Musk & DOGE in its tracks.

Let’s not forget the havoc Musk’s DOGE agenda has already unleashed: Thousands of critical public jobs gutted from USAID and DHHS. Entire departments slashed, undermining health, education, and humanitarian efforts globally.

Musk’s defeat in Wisconsin was a resounding condemnation of his agenda. He put himself on the ballot with his vote-buying antics and million dollar check event last weekend. 

Our Mobilization Team called and texted over 60,000 supporters in Wisconsin – and we proved that when we organize we do win! And as Bernie put it, Musk’s Wisconsin setback proves something powerful: when we unite, our grassroots movement of everyday people can defeat the wealthiest person on earth.

KIRSTEN GILLIBRAND, AS HEAD OF 90% DSCC, SHOULD RECRUIT BETTER CANDIDATES TO STAND UP TO TRUMP

 

Senate Democrats could have blocked the GOP spending bill. 

Instead, Chuck Schumer and 9 other Democratic Senators CAVED.

We asked more than 9,000 progressives what they thought:

  • 89% think Schumer should step aside as Senate Minority Leader
  • 86% think if Schumer refuses to step aside that efforts should be made to oust him from his leadership role.
  • 86% would support a primary challenger against Schumer for his Senate seat.
  • 83% would support primary challengers against all 10 senators who voted for the funding bill.
  • 96% think Kirsten Gillibrand, as head of the Democratic Senate Campaign Committee, should recruit better candidates willing to stand up to Trump and the Oligarchs.
  • 99% want to see Democrats fight Trump and Musk more.

From the text box (5,000+ comments):

“Schumer has been an embarrassment for years. We need an opposition party, the Democrats are anything but!”

“I’m a lifelong Democrat, but I’m so frustrated and discouraged that I’m thinking of becoming an Independent.”

“If you don’t get your shit together real fast, it’s gonna be too late.”

“I changed my voter registration to ‘None. No Party.’ The Dems need to fight harder/more viciously.”

“Wearing pink and holding a *** sign is doing nothing. FIGHT BACK. This is the battle for democracy and you think that wearing a pink sweater is going to do a damn thing?! F*** the high road. Fight dirty.”

“This is why democrats lost and will continue to lose. Listen to Bernie!”

“Betrayal.”

“Don’t let them mess with my social security.”

“Weak, unorganized, lost.”

“I am frustrated. The direction of the democratic party has been a disaster.”

“Wildly frustrated and defeated. The GOP has been playing dirty for over 10 years. Why do the Dems keep rolling over and letting them win every time? Now it’s reached a point where we may not come back from this. You’re failing all of us.”

“I’m angry and embarrassed.”

“The whole party has lost its way. If the Party doesn’t change it’s way it will cease to have any influence.”

“Bernie for speaker!”

“So many of them talk about how dangerous Trump and the Republicans are but are essentially complicit through their inaction or in this case action.”

“They have voted to help Trump kill us. Sickening and deeply disappointing.”

“What a bunch of weak and disgraceful representatives.”

“There’s no way to reform the party. I’ve given up.”

“Cowardice.”

“We need a viable third party. Bernie, I don’t trust you anymore. I can’t make another donation because I’m worried you’ll sell out to the Democrats again.”“I quit. Changing to Independent after being a lifelong Dem. No spine.”

“I’m in shock. Why do they do this to us?”

“Democrats are too wimpy / not listening to ordinary people.”

“I’m feeling very alienated.”

“Disgusted at the capitulation.”

“We need new leadership!!”

“My party has no backbone!”

“Appalled.”

“FIGHT BACK. THE FUTURE OF OUR COUNTRY IS AT STAKE!”

“Finished. Done. They are Republican lite. There is no party for us.”

As Eric Lutz wrote this week in Vanity Fair: “Trump won over many 'forgotten' Americans merely by acknowledging their malaise, even as he and his plutocratic allies loot the nation’s institutions and aggravate the problems already facing its citizens.”

After speaking with Our Revolution leader Joseph Geevarghese, Lutz said that “winning back poor and working class voters in the long term—and combating the ascendent MAGA movement more immediately—may require Democratic leadership capable of actually confronting that disillusionment.”

“To fight a false populist like Trump,” as Geevarghese put it, “you need a real populist.”

TAKING ON TRUMP’S WAR ON TRUTH

On National Protect Public Media Day, Our Revolution joined with the Free Press, ACLU, and NPR workers who are union members (NABET-CWA) to rally at NPR HQ.

The Trump Regime and its allies are escalating their attacks on the media, pushing dangerous policies that threaten NPR, PBS, and independent journalism.

Elon Musk and Project 2025 are advocating for defunding the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. Trump’s new FCC chief, Brendan Carr, swiftly launched an investigation into NPR and PBS.

Meanwhile, Sen. Mike Lee and Rep. Claudia Tenney introduced the Defund NPR Act. These efforts are not about fiscal responsibility—they are about silencing dissent, controlling information, and suppressing the truth.

Trump has long demonized the press, branding journalists as “the enemy of the people,” suing major media outlets, and restricting access to independent reporters.

His administration is undermining fact-based news in favor of billionaire-owned platforms and right-wing propaganda machines like Fox News and Sinclair Broadcasting.

Our Revolution and our allies are going to keep mobilizing to pressure every elected official to defend public media and the free press. We refuse to allow the silencing of independent voices and the dismantling of journalistic integrity.

Speaking of free speech, Progressives are condemning the detention of Palestinian activist and U.S. green card-holder Mahmoud Khalil, who led campus protests at Columbia University last year to demand the U.S. end its support for the Israeli war machine.

As the Trump Regime weaponizes the government against its enemies, Our Revolution is calling on Democrats to unite in denouncing this chilling crack-down on free speech.

“This is about the right to protest and to dissent,” Our Revolution leader Joseph Geevarghese told The Hill. “Trump is testing the limits of the law, but also of the opposition.”

Glenda in Phoenix said she will be impacted by "Medicaid cuts and fears the freezing of income driven payment plans for student loans."

"I’m a veteran who utilizes the VA for my healthcare. I'm scared," said Rebecca in Mesa, AZ.

SAVE THE EPA!

On Friday, Our Revolution activists rallied with allies outside the Environmental Protection Agency to protest Trump’s war on our climate.

Trump's new EPA head Lee Zeldin just issued 31 "reconsiderations" of EPA rules that protect our air, water, and climate, calling it “the greatest day of deregulation our nation has seen,” and adding, "We are driving a dagger straight into the heart of the climate change religion.”

We know that this is a top priority for our members, and we are taking action with a powerful coalition of groups to protect people and the planet under this regime.

Our Revolution hosted our LIVE Climate Town Hall with Sunrise Movement, Public Citizen, Friends of the Earth and others to hone in on opportunities we can leverage to block the worst of Trump and the Oil Oligarchs’ agenda.

We also Rallied on Capitol Hill with Bernie Sanders, Ilhan Omar and our Coalition to End Polluter Handouts to launch a fight to stop our tax dollars from funding climate destruction. This is where Elon Musk should make cuts!

STOPPING TRUMP’S WAR ON WORKERS

Our Revolution Organizing Call Recap: The Fight for Workers’ Rights Intensifies

On our latest organizing call, we heard from powerful voices on the frontlines of the fight against corporate greed and attacks on labor rights.

Former NLRB General Counsel Jennifer Abruzzo - who Trump fired - laid out how we’re battling on all fronts, including against Elon Musk’s claims that the NLRB is unconstitutional.

As Our Revolution Board Chair and former CWA President Larry Cohen put it, “We’ll be fighting in the courts, in the streets, and in Congress.”

Mark Dimondstein, President of the American Postal Workers Union, warned about the growing threat of privatization, pointing out that Musk recently told investors that “everything should be privatized,” including the U.S. Postal Service.

“Privatization is a mathematical equation—shifting public money to Wall Street investors for maximum profit, not service,” Dimondstein said. The administration’s corporate coup is hollowing out essential services, paving the way for billionaires to cash in while degrading workers' rights.

Former Secretary of the Department of Labor Julie Su underscored that this isn’t just about budget cuts — it’s an all-out war on working people. “If they want to wage a war on workers, we’re built for that fight,” she declared.

U.S. Rep. Rosa DeLauro (CT-3) reminded us of the stakes, warning that Trump and Musk aim to roll back key labor protections, from wage theft enforcement to OSHA oversight, while dismantling the Department of Labor entirely. “We have to keep raising the temperature,” she urged. “Congress reacts to external pressure — your advocacy is critical.”

With the administration pushing executive orders to seize institutions and slash protections, the fight has never been more urgent. But we have power, and will not sit this out.

WISCONSIN SUPREME COURT RACE

All eyes are on the Wisconsin Supreme Court race, where Elon Musk is spending millions thinking he can just buy this crucial seat.

We’re going all out to elect Susan Crawford as the court majority hangs in the balance — which will decide cases on free and fair elections, voting rights, abortion rights, corporate power, and more.

It’s all hands on deck — Bernie rallied our movement in Wisconsin last weekend and Our Revolution is ramping up our Get Out the Vote by April 1st. Pitch in a donation to help fund our voter turnout operation!

If we don’t stop Musk in Wisconsin, he’ll think he’s free to steamroll our elections. Musk has already announced that he’ll give Trump’s political operation ANOTHER $100 million.

Musk may have money, but this race can be won on people power. Our Revolution has 60,000 voter contacts in Wisconsin, and our teams are calling, texting, and emailing each of them to get to the polls.

Early voting starts on Tuesday, so it's time to get to work! Sign up to make some calls with our phonebank force, and help defeat Musk and prevent a far-right majority on the WI Supreme Court.

ST. LOUIS ELECTION

Now’s our chance to build on the progressive governing majority our movement has helped elect in St. Louis in recent cycles! Early voting starts March 25 and runs through Election Day April 8th.

We’re endorsing Anne Schweitzer for Board of Alders Ward 1. Since her election in 2021, Anne has been a champion for raising wages, clean water, better housing, safety and more.

With her background in environmental studies and non-profit work, we know she will work hard to deliver for people and the planet — and the City of St. Louis!

As Anne said: “St. Louis is a great city, not ‘was’ but ‘is,’ and it’s our job to make it even better.”

We’re also excited to support Rebecca McCloud for St. Louis Board (Ward 11). Rebecca beat out the competition in the primary last month as a fighter for poor and working people.

With her focus on economic development, mental health, and better food systems, Rebecca will be a great partner in the effort to deliver for the people of St. Louis.

And, Our Revolution is endorsing Alisha Sonnier for St. Louis Board (Ward 7). Alisha has been a true fighter for working people in the city, championing youth and family empowerment, equitable development, and housing as a human right.

We surveyed more than 3,000 Our Revolution members, and 28% say they’re already being impacted by Trump’s actions. Another 60% expect to be affected as Trump targets Medicaid, SNAP, and other programs.

90% said the response of Democratic leadership has been weak, disappointing, or unacceptable. Just 3% are very confident Dem leaders will do what’s necessary to fight back against Trump's dangerous policies effectively.

So many are being hurt in real time — we can’t afford for Democrats to “play dead” and wait for Trump to fail — as consultants like James Carville suggest.

That’s why Our Revolution’s Citizen Action Team of 57,000+ activists nationwide is pushing back. We’re delivering your responses directly to the members of Congress who need to hear what folks in their districts are experiencing.

With our impact on the direction of new DNC leadership, we now have a foothold to push for real change in the party.

So far, more than 10,000 grassroots volunteers, donors and local leaders have signed on demanding these necessary reforms. It’s time for the Democratic Party to reject corporate money, increase transparency and rebuild a multiracial, working-class base.

Our Revolution’s Citizen Action Team is 57,000 activists strong and growing, and they’re taking action in the streets and in the halls of power to fight the worst of the Trump regime.

Our grassroots army is mobilizing and mounting pressure campaigns to protect Medicaid, public media, the right to dissent, the EPA, worker rights, and much more.

We need every person of conscience to get involved. There's something everyone can do to help, big or small. Sign up to be part of the Citizen Action Team, and we’ll loop you in on our next meeting!

On Thursday, March 20th, we’ll be taking action with the American Postal Workers Union to defend the US Postal Service, which is under attack.

The Trump Admin wants to privatize this critical public service and handover the reins to for-profit corporations like FedEx or UPS. We’ll be joining members of the American Postal Workers Union for a nationwide Day of Action to Tell Trump: The US Mail is NOT for Sale!

If you’re in the Washington, D.C. area, RSVP here to join us on March 20th to Protect the Post Office!

And, here’s the national map for folks to join the actions happening around the country: apwu.org/day-of-action
