Nithya Raman for Mayor of Los Angeles

By ALL, CA, Endorsement

Nithya Raman for Mayor of Los Angeles

 

Nithya Raman has shown what progressive leadership looks like, and Our Revolution is proud to endorse her for Mayor of Los Angeles.

As a City Councilmember, Nithya has served as Chair of the Housing and Homelessness Committee — focused on tackling the crisis in LA while working to make city government more responsive to the people it serves.

Before running for office, Nithya spent years working alongside communities across Los Angeles to address homelessness and expand access to affordable housing. An urban planner with degrees from Harvard and MIT, she co-founded the SELAH Neighborhood Homeless Coalition, bringing together volunteers to connect unhoused neighbors with housing, services, and support. 

Nithya’s campaign is rooted in the belief that solving our biggest challenges requires both compassion and effective government. And she is clear that Angelenos deserve a city that delivers for them.

Her campaign is focused on addressing the housing affordability crisis by building more homes, making it easier to produce affordable housing, and ensuring that working families aren’t priced out of the communities they call home.

Los Angeles voters have repeatedly approved funding to address the crisis, and Nithya believes City Hall has a responsibility to ensure those investments produce measurable results—moving more people into permanent housing while making government more transparent and effective.

Throughout her time in office, Nithya has championed a vision of local government that listens to residents, invests in neighborhoods, and makes it easier—not harder—for people to access city services.

Those priorities reflect the values that have always driven Our Revolution: building power from the grassroots, making government accountable to ordinary people, and ensuring public institutions serve the public—not special interests.

At a time when too many politicians accept the status quo, Nithya continues to demonstrate that bold, people-powered leadership can deliver real change.

Our Revolution is proud to endorse Nithya Raman for Mayor of Los Angeles.

Together, we can continue building a government that works for working people, not the powerful—and prove once again that when grassroots movements organize, we win.

Connie Chan for Congress in CA-11

Connie Chan for Congress in CA-11

 

For too long, Washington has put the interests of wealthy corporations and well-connected insiders ahead of working people.

That’s why Our Revolution is proud to endorse Connie Chan for Congress in California’s 11th District.

Connie has built her career fighting for working families, affordable housing, strong public schools, neighborhood businesses, and immigrants. Throughout her time in public service, she has remained focused on making government work for everyday people—not the wealthy and well-connected.

As a San Francisco Supervisor, Connie has been a consistent advocate for working people, fighting to keep families in their neighborhoods, protect public services, and invest in affordable housing. Her campaign for Congress is built on the belief that every family deserves economic security, safe communities, and a government willing to take on the affordability crisis.

Connie knows firsthand the opportunities America can provide and has spent her life giving back to the community that welcomed her, her mother, and brother when they immigrated from Hong Kong in 1989.

Her campaign is rooted in ensuring that every child, worker, senior, and immigrant has the opportunity to succeed. She believes Congress must lower costs for families, expand affordable housing, protect Social Security and Medicare, strengthen public education, and defend immigrant communities.

Connie is also committed to making housing more affordable by securing federal investment to build more housing. She argues that relying solely on the private market has failed to address the housing crisis and believes government must play a stronger role in ensuring everyone has access to an affordable place to live.

Connie has made clear that democracy works best when elected leaders remain accountable to the people they serve. Her campaign is powered by neighbors, volunteers, labor allies, and community members who believe Congress should answer to working families—not corporate interests.

Connie represents the next generation of progressive leadership—grounded in community, committed to public service, and ready to fight for the people of California’s 11th District every single day.

We’re proud to endorse Connie Chan for Congress.

Together, we can continue building a Congress that puts people before profits, expands opportunity for working families, and delivers the bold progressive leadership this moment demands.

When we organize, we win.

Ed Markey for Re-Election to the US Senate

By ALL, Endorsement, MA

Ed Markey for Re-Election to the US Senate

 

Ed Markey is a national leader on energy, environmental protection and telecommunications policy, demonstrating his deep commitment to improving the lives of the people of Massachusetts and our country.

That’s why Our Revolution wants to send Ed back to the US Senate to continue serving alongside Bernie Sanders to defend our democracy and fight for working families.

Whether the issue is climate change, clean energy, safeguarding privacy, nuclear non-proliferation, investor protection, or preserving an open Internet that spurs competition and consumer choice, Ed defends our progressive values and holds the powerful elites accountable.

Experience Matters

Elected to the Senate after a lengthy and distinguished career in the US House, Ed brings his energy and experience to fight for the people of Massachusetts.

In the House and Senate, Ed has: 

  • Co-sponsored the Medicare for All Act in the Senate
  • Co-authored the landmark Waxman-Markey bill
  • Lead the call to investigate the disastrous BP oil spill
  • Been instrumental in breaking up telecommunications monopolies
  • Introduced the Internet Freedom Preservation Act
  • Authored of some of the most important Wall Street reform laws since the Great Depression

At a time when many corporate Democrats are openly declaring war on progressives, Ed is committed to a Democratic Party that addresses climate change and preserves our environment, defends the rights of consumers while expanding opportunity, and advocating for a national single-payer healthcare system that guarantees comprehensive, affordable care to every American.

The Stakes in This Race

Massachusetts is facing critical challenges that demand bold and trusted leadership.

Throughout his tenure in Congress, Ed has focused on confronting the climate crisis, lowering the cost of housing and utilities, expanding access to healthcare, and protecting our communities. 

Ed has secured hundreds of millions in direct federal investments to protect and support communities across Massachusetts— from Boston to Worcester to Springfield to the Cape and Islands. Through congressionally directed spending and key infrastructure legislation, he delivers vital resources directly to the Commonwealth’s municipalities.

Ed has delivered for his community, but this race is about so much more than that.

It’s about whether the Democratic Party will continue moving toward a bold, unapologetically progressive vision that takes on concentrated wealth and corporate power — or will the elites and corporate apologists drag our party back toward the policies that have failed working people for decades.

Ed Markey has taken a stand.

And Our Revolution is proud to stand with him.

When we organize, we win.

Ro Khanna for Re-Election to Congress

Ro Khanna for Re-Election to Congress

 

For nearly a decade in Congress, Rep. Ro Khanna has proven that bold progressive leadership can deliver real results. That’s why Our Revolution is proud to endorse Ro Khanna for re-election to represent California’s 17th Congressional District.

Ro has never been afraid to challenge powerful interests—whether they’re billionaires, Big Pharma, the military-industrial complex, or political insiders. He has consistently used his platform to fight for working people, defend democracy, and build a government that puts people before corporate power.

Ro’s commitment to our movement runs deep. As a National Co-Chair of Bernie Sanders’ 2020 presidential campaign, he helped advance a vision of Medicare for All, economic justice, climate action, and a government accountable to ordinary Americans—not wealthy donors. That same vision continues to guide his work in Congress.

Throughout his time in office, Ro has been one of Congress’s strongest champions for universal healthcare, repeatedly backing legislation to guarantee healthcare as a human right, lower prescription drug prices, expand Medicare, and tackle medical debt. He argues that no American should go bankrupt because they get sick and remains committed to making universal healthcare a reality.

Ro has also emerged as one of the leading voices in Congress against endless war.

He has led bipartisan efforts to reclaim Congress’s constitutional authority over decisions of war and peace, introducing War Powers legislation to prevent unauthorized U.S. military action against Iran and arguing that America should invest in jobs and healthcare—not more endless wars.

Ro has consistently called for an end to the devastating loss of civilian life in Gaza and for U.S. policy to prioritize diplomacy, human rights, and lasting peace. He has been among the most outspoken members of Congress demanding that the United States use its leverage to stop the killing and pursue a just resolution to the conflict.

Ro is also demonstrating that no one is above the law.

He helped lead the successful push for greater transparency surrounding the Jeffrey Epstein case through the bipartisan Epstein Files Transparency Act, arguing that the American people deserve the truth and that powerful individuals must be held accountable. His work forced the release of thousands of previously sealed records and challenged the culture of secrecy that has protected elites for too long.

Whether he’s fighting corporate monopolies, standing up for workers, expanding healthcare, or defending our democracy, Ro Khanna has consistently shown what principled progressive leadership looks like.

At a time when too many politicians are willing to compromise with corporate interests or remain silent in the face of injustice, Ro continues to lead with courage, integrity, and a commitment to the people-powered movement that elected him.

Our Revolution is proud to endorse Ro Khanna for re-election to Congress.

Together, we can continue building a Congress that fights for working people, challenges corporate power, protects our democracy, and delivers the bold progressive change this moment demands.

When we organize, we win.

Fighting Big Tech’s Destructive Data Centers

Fighting Big Tech’s Destructive Data Centers

 

Across the country, communities are standing up to powerful corporations against the unchecked expansion of AI data centers.

From small towns to major cities, residents are organizing to protect their water, energy resources, public health, and local democracy from massive facilities being pushed by some of the world’s richest corporations.

Now, these local fights are coming together into a national movement.

That’s why Our Revolution is proud be part of the National Coalition to Stop Data Centers, a growing alliance of grassroots, environmental, and advocacy organizations working to challenge the rapid expansion of AI infrastructure and demand policies that put people before corporate profits.

At the same time, Bernie Sanders is bringing this fight directly to Washington.

Bernie is calling for a federal moratorium on new data center construction until Congress establishes clear protections for communities, workers, consumers, and the environment. It’s a simple idea: before Big Tech is allowed to build thousands of new facilities across the country, we need safeguards to protect our water, our power grids, and the communities forced to live with the consequences.

That’s why we’re you to stand with Bernie and our movement and add your name to call on Congress enact a federal moratorium on new data centers.

The urgency couldn’t be clearer.

Massive data centers are being proposed at breakneck speed across the country. These facilities consume enormous amounts of land, electricity, and water while generating extraordinary profits for technology corporations and investors.

Communities are increasingly asking a basic question: who benefits?

Too often, local residents are left with higher utility costs, strained infrastructure, constant industrial noise, and growing concerns about water availability, while corporations collect subsidies, tax breaks, and public resources.

The threat is especially severe in regions already struggling with drought.

A recent investigation found that of the 809 new data centers currently planned across the United States, 517 are slated for communities that have experienced drought conditions within the last year.

As public awareness grows, resistance is growing too.

In Monterey Park, California, voters approved the nation’s first ban on data centers by an overwhelming 86 percent. In Ohio, state leaders have begun pulling back tax incentives for data center projects amid growing concerns about their impacts on communities and energy systems.

The message is becoming impossible to ignore:

Communities want a say in decisions that affect their future.

That’s exactly what the National Coalition to Stop Data Centers is fighting for.

The coalition brings together organizations from across the country—including Our Revolution, Third Act, GreenLatinos, MediaJustice, Food & Water Watch, North Carolina Environmental Justice Network, Citizens Action Coalition, Pennsylvania Physicians for Social Responsibility, and many others—to support local organizing efforts and build national pressure for stronger protections.

We’re already seeing state and local leaders step up. In Pennsylvania, State Senator Katie Muth is leading efforts to establish a statewide moratorium on new data centers while communities assess their environmental and economic impacts.

At Our Revolution, we’re mobilizing our grassroots network to support these fights on the ground while building support for Bernie’s federal moratorium.

Because this fight isn’t just about technology.

It’s about whether billion-dollar corporations get to reshape our communities without accountability.

It’s about whether public resources like water and energy are managed for the public good or sacrificed for private profit.

And it’s about whether ordinary people have a voice in decisions that will shape their communities for decades to come.

The AI boom is accelerating.

Our movement must too.

Stand with Bernie Sanders and the National Coalition to Stop Data Centers. Sign the petition demanding a federal moratorium on new AI data centers until strong protections are in place for communities across America.

When we organize, we win.

Evan Menist for New York Senate District 39

By ALL, Endorsement, NY

Evan Menist for New York State Senate

Our Revolution is proud to endorse Evan Menist for New York State Senate in District 39.

Evan is running because he believes our political and economic systems are too often shaped by billionaires and corporate special interests instead of working people and families. His campaign is focused on putting power back in the hands of everyday people and building a Hudson Valley where everyone has a fair chance to thrive.

What stands out about Evan is that he brings together experience in local government, public policy, and community leadership with a clear commitment to economic justice.

A longtime resident of Poughkeepsie, Evan worked his way through school while holding multiple jobs, including as an IT technician, bartender, barback, and security staff member. He later earned a Master of Public Administration while continuing to work full-time.

Evan currently serves on the Poughkeepsie Common Council, where he has fought for tenant protections, housing affordability, tax relief for seniors, government accountability, and sustainable development. He has also worked as a policy researcher and urban planner, helping communities across the Hudson Valley address housing, infrastructure, and economic development challenges.

Today, Evan serves as Co-Executive Director of the Poughkeepsie Farm Project, a nonprofit dedicated to feeding families, educating youth, and building a more resilient regional food system.

His campaign is centered on a bold vision for the Mid-Hudson Valley.

Evan supports universal healthcare through the New York Health Act, universal childcare, and community housing. He argues that these policies can reduce structural inequities, strengthen working families, and ensure that everyone—regardless of background—has the opportunity to succeed.

He is also a strong advocate for worker and union power. Coming from a union family and relying on union healthcare through his wife, Evan has pledged to use the visibility of elected office to support union organizing drives, contract campaigns, and strikes.

At a moment when too many New Yorkers are struggling with housing costs, healthcare expenses, and economic insecurity, Evan is focused on building a government that works for regular people—not wealthy interests.

That’s why Our Revolution is proud to support Evan Menist for State Senate.

When we organize, we win.
