WE ARE NOT BACKING DOWN

is focused on building grassroots power to
Fight Trump & the Oligarchs
with our
3 Point Strategy:

- from Capitol Hill to City Halls

Elect Anti-Oligarch Champions
up and down the ballot
-
Get Oligarch Money out of Politics
and uplift the grassroots

Our Revolution is teaming-up with US Reps.
Rashida Tlaib
,
Pramila Jayapal
and others on a
new Congressional resolution
to
Defund the Oligarchs and Fund the People
.
|
Trump returned to power promising to “drain the swamp” and fight for working people — instead he’s turning our government into a
personal ATM to enrich his oligarch donors and his own family
.
New research from
Our Revolution
, first reported by
The Guardian
, shows that Trump’s mega-donors from the
crypto, oil and gas, and private detention industries
poured nearly
$700 million
into electing him and MAGA.
Since then, they’ve raked in
more than $170 billion
in tax breaks, government contracts, and policy favors. That’s an
18,000% return on investment
— or $18 billion back for every $1 million spent in the 2024 election.
|
Our campaign isn’t just about exposing corruption — it’s about
ending corporate control of our government
and cutting off the pipelines that turn political power into private profit.
This is a massive effort to fundamentally restructure our political economy. With our allies in Congress and our grassroots movement working together, we can make real change.
Chip in any amount to help fund the activists and organizers doing this essential work.

Take
GEO Group and CoreCivic
, the two largest private prison contractors. Our research shows they poured nearly
$5 million
into Trump and GOP campaigns — and have since seen an obscene
11,050% return
as detention and deportation expand.

Our Revolution organizer Dieu Do
also joined our live call to give a report from the frontlines in Minneapolis, where she has been helping lead the grassroots resistance to ICE.
|
“I’ve watched protesters be brutalized with tear gas, pepper spray, and flashbangs simply for exercising their constitutional rights,”
she said
. “We’ve seen children detained and used as bait to lure family members out of their homes.”
“What stands out just as much as the cruelty is the solidarity — communities organizing patrols, mutual aid, and legal observers to keep neighbors safe,” Dieu continued. “This is a watershed moment — more people than ever are asking why their tax dollars are funding terror instead of healthcare, housing, and education.”
Add your name to pressure Congress to Defund ICE.

And pick up one of our new Break ICE stickers to help us fund our frontline work on the ground in Minneapolis and across the country. It’s up to us to stand up for our communities and our neighbors.

TAKING ON CORPORATIONS COMPLICIT WITH ICE
|
Across the nation, Our Revolution activists and our allies are
ramping up grassroots pressure
to stop corporations from collaborating with the Trump regime to terrorize our communities and target our neighbors.
|
In St. Louis, we
protested outside the headquarters of Entreprise Rent-a-Car
, a privately held company that does over $80 million a year in business with federal agencies, including Homeland Security.
No corporation should be helping masked ICE agents hunt down our neighbors and brutalize our people. We will keep up the backlash and public pressure for Enterprise and other complicit companies to do the right thing.
This work takes resources, but we’re not backing down. Our communities are relying on us, and we’re relying on grassroots donations to make it happen.
Donate $10 or any amount to make a difference!

In the Bay Area, Our Revolution
protested outside Palantir’s Palo Alto office
Thursday to expose how the company is cashing in on ICE surveillance and repression.
As Palantir’s stock soars on lucrative government contracts, our activists are calling out a system that uses
public dollars to fund mass surveillance, target immigrants, and endanger communities
.
“The
Defund the Oligarchs, Fund the People
resolution is about taking our tax dollars back from billionaires like Peter Thiel and corporations like Palantir — and stopping companies that are profiting off harm to our communities,” Our Revolution East Bay co-chair
Susana Williams
told
American Community Media
.

VICTORY! Avelo Airlines cuts ties with ICE.
Our movement showed up at airports from California to Maryland, and as a result Avelo Airlines is grounding ALL of
its deportation flights.
Our activists also joined allies to
protest outside AT&T stores in Chicago
— demanding they drop their multimillion-dollar ICE contracts, profiting from using its tech to help terrorize our communities.
When corporations align with authoritarian policies, people suffer. But when we unite as neighbors and movement builders, we make clear that our collective power is stronger than corporate greed.
We take ZERO money from billionaires and big donors. We rely on the grassroots to keep up this great work. Chip in a donation today!

This race is a nail-biter!
Analilia Mejia
- former political director for Bernie 2020 - is leading by a few hundred votes with 90% counted in Thursday’s primary election for the Congress seat in New Jersey’s 11th District.
A win in this race will send shockwaves through the establishment as she ran a people-powered campaign against big-money funded opponents.

Congrats to
Christian Menefee
on his victory in the special election for a Congressional seat representing Texas’ 18th District!
Christian has been a fearless advocate for voting rights, environmental justice, and holding powerful interests accountable — now he’s bringing that energy to Capitol Hill!
|
Our Revolution is proud to endorse
Nida Allam for Congress in North Carolina’s 4th District
. A longtime movement leader and former political director for Bernie Sanders’ 2016 campaign, Nida also has Bernie’s backing in this key 2026 race.
Nida also had our support in her successful run for Durham County Commission, where she helped raise the minimum wage and expand funding for immigrant services. As she said on our live organizing call Monday:
“Ending the oligarchy’s power over our country is not a partisan issue — it’s about how we fight for working people.”
|
Our Revolution proudly endorses
Rep. Delia Ramirez
for reelection to Congress
.
Since taking office, Delia has been a bold leader for Medicare for All, environmental justice, workers’ rights, and immigrant dignity.
Delia is also a key partner in our fight to
Defund the Oligarchs and Fund the People
, signing on to the resolution and working with us to confront corporate power.
|
We’re excited to support another great progressive candidate running for U.S. Congress in Illinois:
Junaid Ahmed
in District 8.
A grassroots organizer, small business owner, and son of immigrant working-class parents, Junaid has spent his life building community power — even co-founding
Chi-Care
, which has delivered over one million meals to unhoused neighbors.
On our live call, he shared why he took our
Defund the Oligarchs pledge
, calling it central to his campaign.
“Until we end this oligarchical system, we’re not going to have positive change — this is the fight.”
|
And, we’re backing
Karina Villa for Illinois Comptroller
! A State Senator and former school social worker, Karina brings deep experience fighting for working families, strong public schools, affordable healthcare, and budgets that put people first.
She understands that budgets are moral documents. As Comptroller, she will push for transparency and accountability, ensure schools and service providers are paid on time, and fight to
close corporate tax loopholes
so powerful interests finally pay their fair share.
|
Nick Uniejewski
has our support in the race for
Illinois State Senate (District 6),
where he’s running to deliver bold, practical change:
housing, public transit, and getting corporate money out of politics
so working people — not special interests — shape policy.
Nick is a longtime community organizer and policy analyst who’s built real people power — founding the
Chicago Salon Club
, bringing neighbors together around housing and transit solutions.
|
Troy Jackson
, Our Revolution’s endorsed candidate for governor of Maine, is taking a public stand against “dark money” in Democratic primaries and calling for real campaign finance reform.
Jackson
explained on our live call
why he took the
People’s Pledge
to reject any independent expenditures made by corporate or dark money groups on behalf of his campaign—on one important condition: that all of his primary opponents agree to do the same.
“For me, this is about fairness,” Jackson said. “Governments shouldn’t be bought and paid for by the people who have the most money. Everyday people should have the same say and the same voice in government that millionaires and billionaires have.”
