Trump
did not have the authority to drag
us into another horrific
war — yet here we are with
the GOP-led House and Senate blocking
War Powers efforts to restrict his
unilateral military actions in
Iran.
This is exactly why
we need to TAKE BACK
CONGRESS and elect
representatives who will stand up for
peace — and invest in our communities,
not carnage and conflict abroad.
The primaries are happening now, and our
movement is coming for the midterms.
Read on to learn how We the
People are taking a stand —
in the streets, in the halls of
power, and at the ballot
box.

No Kings, No Oligarchs, No
War.
About 100,000
tuned in to Our Revolution’s LIVE
National Town Hall on Monday to
meet some of our endorsed candidates and
organize for the next No Kings nationwide
day of protests.
Christine
Wood of the No Kings
coalition reported that 1,500
events have been scheduled so far! And,
we’re already training and recruiting folks
to break the 7 million turnout record set by
the last No Kings in October.
“When
our families are under attack and rising
costs are pushing people to the brink,
silence is not an option,”
Christine said. “That’s why millions have
rallied under the banner of No Kings to
stand up to Trump’s growing
authoritarianism.”
GET INVOLVED -
HELP MAKE NO KINGS THE BIGGEST DAY
OF PROTEST IN AMERICAN
HISTORY
|
Millions in the streets for No Kings will be
a chance to make connections and
harness all this energy and
righteous anger directly into the
midterms.
Jasmine
Crockett didn’t win her race,
but she joined our live call Monday to rally
our movement to keep up the fight. Both
Jasmine and Our Revolution are backing her
former opponent James
Talarico to flip that Senate
seat blue in Texas.
We have a real
shot to take back the House AND the Senate
in November and block the worst of Trump
during his final years in office — but we
have to dig into the groundwork
NOW.
DONATE TO HELP US
ELECT TALARICO TO THE SENATE AND
TAKE BACK CONGRESS IN THE
MIDTERMS!
|
One of our great candidates for Congress in
Illinois, Patty Garcia,
told us on the live call Monday that she’s
running to carry on the progressive legacy
of leaders like Bernie
Sanders and Chuy
García.
A proud member
of a union family and immigrant advocate,
Garcia grew up on the Southwest Side of
Chicago and says her working-class roots
drive her fight to put people over
profit.
“Our democracy should belong
to working people, not billionaires and
special interests,” she said.
|
Our Revolution-endorsed Karina
Villa joined the call to lay
out how she could hold corporations
accountable if elected to be the next
Illinois
Comptroller.
Karina
pledged to crack down on state contracts
with companies tied to immigration
enforcement abuses. “If you profit from ICE
terror, you are out — you cannot continue to
receive money from this state,” she
said.
Villa has already flipped a
Republican district from red to blue — as
the progressive in the race — and we have
her back in this statewide run.
|
Our Revolution-endorsed Jane
Kim joined our call to lay out
the importance of having a progressive
California Insurance
Commissioner, an office
overseeing a $3.3 trillion
industry.
Jane
emphasized that insurance must be affordable
for everyone because it’s essential to
participating in the economy — whether
driving to work, opening a business, or
buying a home.
She’s proposing bold
reforms, including a public
single-payer disaster insurance
program that would pool
premiums publicly and invest in community
resilience instead of corporate
profits.
These are the kind of
innovative leaders that can make a real
difference in our lives and fight for our
people. Chip in a
donation to make sure we get out
every single vote!
|
Our Revolution proudly endorses
Summer Lee for reelection
in PA’s 12th District — one of the boldest
progressive voices in
Congress!
Summer has signed on
to our Defund the Oligarchs, Fund
the People resolution with Rep.
Rashida Tlaib, and she’s all-in to take on
billionaire handouts and invest in
healthcare, housing, and education
instead.
Our Revolution and
Bernie have backed Summer from the start.
People power beat the corporate super PACs
before and we can do it again.
|
We
proudly endorse Eric
Jones for Congress in
CA-04!
Eric grew up in a
military family that relied on Medicaid
and food assistance — and he’s never
forgotten what working families
face.
Now he’s running a
people-powered campaign focused on
affordability, universal childcare,
lower healthcare costs, workers’ rights,
and getting corporate money out of
politics.
|
Our Revolution is proud to endorse
Anthony Driver for Congress in
IL-07, a South Side Chicago
leader, labor champion, and progressive
organizer who has spent his career fighting
for working people.
As Executive
Director of the SEIU Illinois State Council,
Driver has led policy and organizing for
160,000+ union members,
fighting for better wages and stronger labor
protections.
A Howard
University graduate and lifelong South
Side resident, Driver is a
proven movement leader who will stand with
working people in Congress — not corporate
interests.
|
And, we’re endorsing Jared
Ploger for Illinois State House
HD-84, a public school teacher, union
leader, and community advocate fighting for
strong public schools and working
families.
As president of Valley
View AFT Council, Ploger has advocated for
the resources teachers and students deserve.
He also served a decade on the Oswego School
Board.
A three-time Coach of
the Year and longtime mentor to
young people, Ploger is the kind of leader
we need in Springfield to stand with
teachers, students, and working
families.
|
The 2026 midterms are
pivotal to take power back from
Trump and the oligarchs who have rigged our
economy and captured our
democracy.
All of our
candidates reject dark and corporate PAC
money — and they’ve all taken the
pledge to Fight Oligarchy
in office. These are the kinds of fighters
we need to win.

It was a nail-biter, but Analilia
Mejia - former political
director for Bernie 2020 - won the primary
for the congressional seat in New Jersey’s
11th District!
This victory sent
shockwaves through the establishment as
Analilia ran a people-powered campaign to
defeat Big Money funded
opponents.
After November,
we’ll hopefully see her take the fight to
Washington DC!
|
TEXAS CHAMPIONS
Congratulations to our Texas champions who
won their primaries on Tuesday and now head
to the general!
|
Congrats to Rev. Freddie Haynes
III on his victory in TX-30! As
Jasmine Crockett’s pastor, he now heads to
the general election to carry the torch in
her now-former seat in
Congress.
Rooted in decades of
pastoral leadership and community organizing
in Dallas, Rev. Haynes has long fought for
voting rights, economic justice, healthcare,
and civil rights.
Now he’s ready to
bring that fighting spirit to Congress.
|
Sarah Eckhardt is running
for TX Comptroller to lower costs, fight
corruption, and restore trust in government
— by ending backroom deals and stopping
blank checks for special
interests.
Dolores
Lozano is running for Harris
Co. Justice of the Peace (Pct. 2/Pl. 2) to
protect tenants’ rights and ensure fairness
for working families navigating housing and
small claims cases.
Clayton
Tucker is running for TX Ag
Commissioner as a rancher and grassroots
organizer who will protect land and water,
support regenerative agriculture, and ensure
family farmers can thrive.
|
Two of our Texas progressives came very
close to victory — and now head to a runoff
election to clinch the deal!
|
U.S. Reps. Ilhan Omar and
Jan Schakowsky just became
the newest cosponsor of our Defund
the Oligarchs, Fund the People
resolution in Congress!
She joins Reps. Rashida Tlaib,
Pramila Jayapal, Delia Ramirez, Summer
Lee, and others in this
legislative push to draw a line in the
sand.
Our Revolution Executive
Director Joseph Geevarghese
sat down with Cenk Uyger on
TYT
to break down this exciting campaign — and
the governing strategy to achieve
it.
We also just released new
hard-hitting videos to expose the oligarchs
from Big
Tech, Crypto,
the Epstein
Class, and more!
|
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.
Chip in any
amount to help fund the activists
and organizers doing this essential
work.
|
KEEP ICE OUT
Even
as Trump is causing carnage abroad, his ICE
troops are still waging terror here at home
— and ICE contractors are still making
billions off the
cruelty.
Relentless grassroots
resistance forced Trump to scale back ICE in
Minneapolis, but raids are still happening
and leaving chaos in their wake.
|
“The occupation decimated families
and people’s ability to work and to
live," Our Revolution Minnesota
Organizer Dieu Do told local
news in Ohio “The need
for mutual aid has skyrocketed — from rent
and mortgage support, to groceries and legal
fees.”
“What we experienced in
Minnesota was so traumatic and violent, it
will impact us for generations,” said Do.
“The lesson we want to give folks in other
states is never forget who the real enemy
is."
|
ICE is coming to city after city, and our
coalition of activists and organizers are
fighting back — even notching some important
victories, like blocking Trump’s proposed
ICE warehouses in Maryland, Virginia, and
other key states.
And in
Pennsylvania, after four weeks of protesting
outside city meetings in Harrisburg, our
coalition got a resolution to bar local
collaboration with ICE, as PennLive reported.
|
Bernie Sanders rallied for
the California Billionaire
Tax with a massive rally in Los
Angeles — and now he’s partnering with Rep.
Ro Khanna to push for a
Wealth Tax at the federal level.
Both
would levy a one-time 5% tax on
billionaires. Both would help
protect healthcare, education, and essential
services that people need.
|
In California, the tax would raise $100
billion. Bernie’s nationwide Wealth Tax
would raise $4.4 TRILLION!
Our
Revolution is all-in to pass the ballot
measure in California this November — and we
all need to have Bernie’s back as he wages
the fight in the Senate for tax
fairness.

We had a blast at the California
Democratic Convention — and
we're fired up for 2026.
Our
Executive Director Joseph
Geevarghese took the stage to
lay out what it will take to defeat Trumpism
and dismantle oligarch power — not just with
slogans, but with a governing
strategy.
We connected with
champions like Rep. Ro
Khanna, Rep. Lateefah
Simon, and progressive leaders
from across the Golden State — and we're
organizing with allies and candidates to
build out the infrastructure of our movement
and build up momentum for the midterms.
|
In
Maine, our endorsed candidate for
governor, Troy Jackson,
is drawing a clear line.
Troy —
a fifth-generation logger and lifelong
fighter for working people — is
challenging his opponents to reject dark
and corporate money in the Democratic
primary, Our Revolution's Larry
Cohen writes in Barnraiser.
“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 in government
that billionaires have.”
That’s
how the Democratic Party can win back
trust — and how we can win power for
working people.
