There’s a Clear Solution to the Health Care Crisis: Medicare for All

By Homepage Slot 1, Homepage2, Uncategorized No Comments

Across America, health care costs are skyrocketing — and working families are paying the price.

First, Donald Trump forced through the biggest cuts to Medicaid in history. Then Republicans in Congress ripped away critical subsidies that helped 20 million people afford coverage through the Affordable Care Act. Now, millions are set to lose their coverage altogether, while countless others are staring down impossible medical bills they simply can’t afford.

This isn’t an accident. It’s a political choice — and it’s devastating communities nationwide.

The Answer Is Clear: Medicare for All

There is a solution to this manufactured crisis: Medicare for All.

This holiday season, supporters across the country showed their commitment to universal health care by demanding a Medicare for All system that guarantees care as a human right — not a privilege tied to your job, income, or zip code.

Due to overwhelming demand, our Medicare for All stickers are officially sold out for the season. While we wish everyone could receive one, this surge in support sends a powerful message: people are ready for real change. And sold-out stickers won’t stop the movement — they fuel it.

Families Are Bracing for What Comes Next

Families everywhere are preparing for another blow as ACA premiums are projected to double in the new year.

Just this week, Congress had the chance to stop the damage by extending ACA subsidies. Instead, Republicans refused to act. Once again, health care was treated like a political football — with everyday Americans paying the cost.

This endless cycle of sabotage and inaction is exactly why patchwork fixes aren’t enough anymore.

Medicare for All Is Popular — and Growing

Despite the obstruction in Washington, the movement for Medicare for All has never been stronger.

Recent polls show 63% of Americans support Medicare for All, and Senator Bernie Sanders isn’t backing down. Neither are we.

At Our Revolution, we are standing shoulder to shoulder with millions across the country — organizing, demanding action, and refusing to accept a system that prioritizes profits over people.

The stickers may be sold out for now, but the fight is far from over. We will keep pushing, organizing, and building power until every person in America has guaranteed health care.

Health care is a human right.
And together, we’re going to win.

STOP ICE: Fighting Trump’s Deportation Machine

By Homepage Slot 6, Take Action No Comments

👉 Add your name and demand Congress stop funding ICE’s campaign of fear and violence.

A college freshman was just trying to surprise her family for Thanksgiving. Instead, she was surrounded by federal immigration agents at the Boston airport and deported to Honduras within 48 hours — even after a judge ordered a stay.

A mother working her factory shift was separated from her children when ICE stormed her workplace. She was detained, misprocessed, and wrongfully deported to Guatemala before her 2-year-old could even say goodbye.

These are not isolated incidents. They are the reality of Trump’s ICE: masked agents storming workplaces, classrooms, and entire neighborhoods with intimidation and brute force.

And it’s happening everywhere — from Boston to Charlotte to Los Angeles and beyond.

Families are being ripped apart. Children are being left behind. Entire communities are being terrorized. We cannot afford to stay silent.

A New National Deportation Push: “Swamp Sweep”

Now, ICE just launched a major new operation called “Swamp Sweep,” a months-long push to arrest thousands of people. Hundreds of agents have deployed — not just in Louisiana, but in cities across the country.

Communities report the same pattern:

  • masked ICE agents staking out homes
  • raids at worksites and schools
  • people detained without explanation
  • families separated with no notice

All of it is being carried out with our tax dollars, approved by Congress. The cruelty is not a mistake — it is the point.

Our Coalition to FIGHT BACK

Our Revolution’s Citizen Action Team is organizing rapid-response protests in multiple states and exposing corporations — including AT&T and Avelo Airlines — for aiding ICE’s operations.

We are building networks of resistance to protect our communities.
But Congress must also be forced to act.

Congress Has the Power — But Only If We Demand It

Trump and his allies want unchecked funding for ICE’s militarized raids. But Congress has the power to say NO:

  • NO more blank checks for ICE
  • NO more tax dollars to terrorize our neighbors
  • NO more separating children from their families

Every message to Congress is counted. Every voice adds pressure. When communities rise together, we change what’s politically possible.

Add Your Name: Demand Congress Defund ICE’s Cruelty

ICE’s nationwide surge is terrorizing immigrant families — but we have the power to stop it.

👉 Add your name and demand Congress stop funding ICE’s campaign of fear and violence.

Because our neighbors deserve safety, dignity, and justice — not raids, repression, and heartbreak.

This is what our movement is for. We fight back. We speak out.
And we protect our communities — together.In solidarity,
Our Revolution

Bernie Sanders just issued a bold challenge to Congressional Democrats: go big, or go home on health care.

By Homepage Slot 2, Take Action No Comments

Next month, Congress will vote on a health care bill as part of Democrats’ “deal” to end the government shutdown. As negotiations kick into high gear, Bernie is laying out a clear path forward: reject half-measures that leave millions behind and EXPAND health care to help the millions of working families struggling to afford coverage. 

Right now, the party has a choice: retreat, or fight – and if all of us stand with Bernie, we can force their hand. We will descend on Congress with all of our voices to deliver a message they cannot ignore.

Add your name now and tell Democratic leaders to meet this moment and pass real, transformative health care reforms. Will you add your name and stand with Bernie now?   

Here’s what’s at stake: if Congress fails to renew the expanded ACA marketplace subsidies by the end of the year, premiums for millions of families will **more than double**.

But Bernie isn’t pulling punches. In a letter to colleagues, he pushed Democrats to go further than extending ACA tax credits – calling on them to repeal over $1 TRILLION in GOP health care cuts, expand Medicare, and lower prescription drug prices. We’re talking about real victories for working people – not crumbs, not watered-down deals, but the fundamental change Americans deserve.

Democrats have a choice: Stand tall for working people or buckle to Republican pressure and corporate greed. NOW is the time for Democrats to push the big demands we need – but they need to hear from all of us.

Our power is in our numbers. If thousands of us stand behind Bernie’s call, the Democratic establishment will take notice. And that’s the grassroots power Bernie needs right now.

Add your name to tell Democrats: No more small asks – stand with Bernie and deliver big, bold health care wins for all. 

We hear it every day: Family members cutting pills to make prescriptions last, friends skipping checkups because insurance is too expensive, or parents who lost coverage after a layoff. That’s the reality for millions – and it’s preventable, but only if Democrats unite and fight.

No one should have to choose between bankruptcy and survival. Let’s seize this moment and fight for real change now.

When we organize, we win,

Stand With Bernie: Get Oligarch Money OUT of Politics

By Homepage Slot 3, Take Action No Comments

A jaw-dropping new report reveals the truth: just 20 billionaire donors flooded our political system with nearly $5 BILLION between 2015 and 2024. These ultra-rich powerbrokers are quite literally buying our democracy – and we HAVE to do something to stop it.

TAKE ACTION: Call on Democratic Party leaders to ban Oligarch money from the 2026 primaries and beyond.

Bernie Sanders is sounding the alarm, saying we must overturn Citizens United and replace billionaire-funded elections with public financing. And while that’s the long-game, there’s also something we can do TODAY: get dark money OUT of Democratic primaries to stop billionaires from rigging our elections. 

We already won a DNC resolution to ban dark money from the 2028 presidential primary – but we’re not done yet.

Add your name now to demand Democratic Party leaders in every single state BAN Dark Money from Democratic primaries starting in 2026!

Across the country, billionaire PACs, anonymous Super PACs, and shadowy front groups are spending MILLIONS to defeat progressives in local primaries. We saw it with Mamdani and SO many other races.

But here’s the secret the media won’t tell you: the Democratic Party’s state and county officials hold the real power over primary rules. Across all 50 states, party officials act as the gatekeepers – choosing whether to open the door to billionaire money or to shut it tight.

That’s why we need Democratic officials in every state and county to say they won’t allow dark money spending in the 2026 primaries. So right now we’re mobilizing our Citizen Action Team state by state, city by city to make it happen. 

Our movement already won a huge step forward when, earlier this year, we pushed the Democratic National Committee to pass a resolution to get Dark Money out for the 2028 presidential primary. And now it’s our job to make every state and county do the same for 2026.

Our Revolution organizers are already on the ground – mobilizing volunteers, gathering signatures, and presenting petitions to party leaders. In several states, grassroots pressure is already starting to move the needle. Now, we’re ramping up nationwide.

Add your name now to demand a ban on Dark Money in ALL Democratic primaries in 2026. Let’s finish what we started and win a Democratic Party that belongs to US – not the billionaire class.

Every name counts. The more supporters we have in each state, the stronger our demands. When you sign, your name joins a growing list that we’ll put directly in front of local party officials – showing them this is a movement they cannot ignore.

When we organize, we win,

Democracy Wins in California: Victory for Prop 50

By Homepage Slot 2, Uncategorized No Comments

In a night that marked a major turning point for democracy and working people across America, voters in California have passed Proposition 50, the Election Rigging Response Act — a historic win against Donald Trump’s nationwide gerrymandering campaign and a powerful rebuke of authoritarian politics.

This victory, coming alongside progressive wins across the country — including Zohran Mamdani’s stunning mayoral victory in New York City — signals a renewed surge of energy behind leaders and movements willing to fight back and use every tool available to defend democracy and economic justice.

✊ People Power Beats Billionaire Money

“Tonight, Californians and voters across the country sent an unmistakable message: we are done playing defense,” said Joseph Geevarghese, Executive Director of Our Revolution.

“From Mamdani’s victory in New York to the passage of Proposition 50 in California, the tide is turning because people are demanding that Democrats fight back — not fold — in the face of Trump’s authoritarian machine.

Prop 50 proves that when we organize, we can outmatch billionaire money with people power. This is how we win: by mobilizing, building coalitions, and refusing to cede ground to corruption and oligarchy. The Trump movement thrives on fear and apathy, but we’re showing what happens when working people rise up together — we win, and we change what’s politically possible.”

Our Revolution’s Role in the Fight for Democracy

Our Revolution mobilized more than 1.2 million voters across California through texting, phone banking, and door-to-door canvassing — part of its nationwide campaign to defend democracy, challenge authoritarianism, and empower working people to take back political power.

Prop 50’s passage reflects years of organizing to make elections fair, stop partisan gerrymandering, and protect the right of every voter to have their voice heard — no matter their zip code or political background.

💪 A Movement Moment for Working People

“This is a movement moment,” Geevarghese continued. “The victories tonight are proof that we can take back the House, defeat Trumpism, and build a government that finally works for working people. The message from voters is clear: it’s time for Democrats to fight by centering the demands of the grassroots.”

Across the country, Our Revolution members, volunteers, and allies are proving that when we organize — we win. From statehouses to city halls to national elections, this movement is building a new political reality rooted in justice, equity, and people power.

The passage of Proposition 50 isn’t just a win for California — it’s a victory for democracy itself. And it’s only the beginning.

Join Our Revolution’s grassroots movement to defend democracy, elect progressive champions, and build a government that works for the many — not the money.

Lessons from Mamdani’s Big Win in the Big Apple

By Homepage, Homepage Slot 5

Grassroots Send a Clear Message: It’s Time for Change

A new post-election survey of more than 3,500 progressive voters — the nation’s largest progressive political organizing group with over 8 million members — reveals a growing demand for bold leadership, economic populism, and a break from the Democratic Party’s status quo.

The survey, conducted by Our Revolution, shows deep frustration with current party leaders and overwhelming support for replacing them with candidates who represent the working class, not corporate interests.

“Mamdani’s victory was not an outlier — it was a signal,” said Joseph Geevarghese, Executive Director of Our Revolution. “The grassroots are demanding change. They want a Democratic Party that fights for working families, taxes the rich, and takes on Trump and the oligarchs driving this affordability crisis. The old guard must step aside or risk losing the movement that delivered these wins.”

What the Grassroots Are Saying

The message from the Democratic base is unmistakable: voters are ready to rebuild the party from the ground up.

  • 90% say Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer should step aside; 92% would support a primary challenger.
  • 70% say House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries should step aside; 77% would back a primary challenger.
  • Nearly all respondents believe Democrats must campaign on an affordability agenda focused on lowering costs and holding corporations accountable.
  • 67% say current Democratic leaders are out of touch with the struggles of working people.
  • 87% say Democratic candidates should reject corporate PAC and billionaire money — with almost half warning they won’t support any candidate who doesn’t.

The findings paint a clear picture: grassroots Democrats are demanding a populist realignment that centers the needs of working people over the influence of big donors.

Lessons from Mamdani’s Win: Populism Works

In the wake of Zohran Mamdani’s historic victory for New York City Mayor, respondents overwhelmingly agreed on one point — bold, populist economics win elections.

  • 89% said affordability-focused campaigns are the key to victory.
  • 92% said taxing the rich and breaking up monopolies are both popular and practical solutions.
  • 90% said standing up to Trump and the oligarchs drives voter enthusiasm.
  • 86% said the Trump era demands a new generation of leadership.

“What happened in New York is a blueprint for how Democrats can win everywhere,” Geevarghese added. “Take on Trump and the billionaire class, lead with moral clarity, and put working people first with bold economic policies. The base is demanding that national leaders step aside if they can’t meet this moment.”

A Warning to the Party Establishment

While enthusiasm among grassroots Democrats is growing, many fear that party elites will once again ignore the lessons of history.

  • 69% worry leaders will dismiss Mamdani’s win as an outlier.
  • 65% fear leadership will continue catering to big donors instead of the base.
  • 53% believe Democrats may retreat from moral fights over identity, climate justice, and trans rights instead of confronting right-wing extremism head-on.

These concerns show a widening gap between a Democratic establishment stuck in the past and a grassroots movement ready to fight for the future.

The Path Forward: A Party for the People

Our Revolution’s survey makes one thing crystal clear — the energy, enthusiasm, and future of the Democratic Party lie with its progressive base.

Voters want leaders who will take on oligarchic power, reject corporate influence, and fight for an economy that works for everyone. The grassroots are not waiting for permission — they’re organizing for transformation.

Because as our movement keeps proving:

💪 When we organize, we win.
