People Power Surges in Texas: Christian Menefee Advances to Runoff

By Endorsement, TX

Momentum is building in Texas! Our Revolution is proud to celebrate Christian Menefee’s powerful showing in the race for U.S. House, where he has advanced to the runoff election for Texas’s 18th Congressional District — a key step toward sending another bold progressive voice to Washington.

✊ A Champion for Justice and Accountability

As Harris County Attorney, Christian Menefee has taken on some of the most powerful interests in Texas — from defending voting rights to challenging corporate polluters and standing up to far-right attacks on local democracy. His record proves what’s possible when leaders fight unapologetically for working people, civil rights, and the rule of law.

Now, Menefee is taking that same courage and conviction to the national stage — running to represent Texas families who are ready for leaders who will take on corporate greed, defend democracy, and build an economy that works for everyone, not just the wealthy few.

🌹 Our Revolution’s Movement in Action

Our Revolution members across Texas have been phone banking, canvassing, and mobilizing voters to power this grassroots campaign — proving once again that organizing, not big money, moves elections. With millions in corporate PAC dollars flooding Texas politics, Christian’s success shows that people power is still the strongest force in democracy.

But this fight isn’t over. The runoff ahead will be a showdown between corporate influence and community power, and Our Revolution is ready to stand shoulder to shoulder with Christian Menefee to make sure the people’s voice prevails.

💪 When We Organize, We Win

Christian’s path to the runoff is a victory for working people across Texas — and a signal that the progressive movement is growing stronger every day.

Our Revolution is committed to mobilizing volunteers, voters, and allies to help Christian Menefee win this runoff and bring true progressive leadership to Congress.

✊ A Progressive Fighter for Jersey City

As a City Councilmember, James Solomon has built a reputation as a bold, principled progressive who stands up for working people and puts the public good before corporate developers. He has fought to strengthen tenant protections, end sweetheart deals for big developers, and bring greater transparency and accountability to city government.

James has also been recognized as a national leader on climate action — earning the endorsement of Climate Cabinet Action for his work to advance climate resilience, green infrastructure, and environmental justice across Jersey City. His vision for the city is clear: clean air, affordable housing, and a government that works for everyone — not the wealthy few.

This campaign has mobilized residents from every neighborhood — renters, workers, students, and small business owners — all united by a vision of a city where everyone can thrive.

As the campaign heads into the runoff, Our Revolution is ready to keep organizing — calling voters and meeting voters wherever they’re at to spread the message that real change comes from the bottom up, not the top down.

💪 When We Organize, We Win

James Solomon’s advancement to the runoff is a powerful testament to what happens when ordinary people stand up to entrenched power and demand a government that truly serves them.

Our Revolution is proud to stand with James and the movement for a more just, sustainable, and transparent Jersey City. Together, we’re building the kind of politics that puts people and planet before profit.

Victory for the people in Virginia! Our Revolution congratulates Delegate Joshua Cole on his re-election — a major win for grassroots progressives and working families across the Commonwealth.

✊ Why This Win Matters

Joshua Cole isn’t just a public servant — he’s a movement leader. Raised in Fredericksburg and serving as a pastor, Josh has always been rooted in his community, standing up for justice, equity, and opportunity for all.

As chair of the subcommittee on constitutional amendments, Josh championed a measure to enshrine reproductive freedom — including abortion, contraception, and prenatal care — in Virginia’s Constitution. This victory lays the foundation for a future ballot initiative to protect these rights statewide.

Josh has led the fight against corruption, authoring a bill banning the use of campaign funds for personal expenses — a key step in reducing corruption and restoring public trust in government.

People Power Wins! Zohran Mamdani Elected Mayor of New York City

By Endorsement, Homepage Slot 1, NJ No Comments

Last night, the people of New York City made history.

In a stunning upset, Zohran Mamdani—a proud democratic socialist and champion for working people—won the race for Mayor of New York City, defeating Donald Trump’s chosen candidate, the Democratic establishment machine, and the billionaire donor class that tried to buy this election.

This victory is a testament to our grassroots power and a resounding rejection of corruption, oligarchy, and corporate power—and a clear mandate for a New York that works for the many, not the money. 

✊ A Movement Victory

“Our message to the establishment is clear,” said Joseph Geevarghese, Executive Director of Our Revolution—the nation’s largest grassroots independent political organizing group founded by Sen. Bernie Sanders.

“Mamdani and his message about the crisis of affordability defeated Donald Trump, the Democratic establishment, and the donor classes of both parties.

They’ll leave out the hard truths: Chuck Schumer and the Democratic establishment are losing relevance, AIPAC and the pro-Israel lobby have become toxic forces in Democratic politics, voters are fed up with the gerontocracy and political corruption, and a united grassroots movement built on a working-class agenda can—and will—beat the billionaire-backed status quo.”

Geevarghese added,

“Mamdani’s victory is a bellwether. Progressives are poised to defeat the establishment of both parties in 2026 and beyond with a populist message that raises the standard of living for working-class people and takes on the corporate class.”

🌹 Organizing Power on Display

In the lead-up to Election Day, Our Revolution carried out one of the largest independent progressive organizing efforts in New York City’s history—reaching more than half a million voters through door knocking, subway canvassing, community events, phone calls, texts, and emails.

From the Bronx to Queens, Brooklyn to Staten Island, Our Revolution members stood shoulder to shoulder with local activists, tenants, and union organizers to make sure working-class voices were heard—and votes were counted.

This grassroots mobilization proved once again that when we organize, we win.

🗽 A New Day for New York

Mamdani’s victory isn’t just a win for one campaign—it’s a triumph for our growing movement to confront corporate greed, take on oligarchy, push back against the far right, and win policy change for affordable housing, healthcare, childcare, and more!

The fight for economic justice and true democracy is far from over—but in this moment we celebrate a powerful step forward.

Our Revolution congratulates Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani, his campaign team, and the thousands of volunteers who made this victory possible. Together, we’re showing the nation what people power looks like.

Join Our Revolution to build on this momentum and organize the next wave of victories for working people across the country.

🌹 No Kings Day: The People Rise Up

By Homepage, Homepage Slot 6

This weekend, history was made.

More than 7 million people rose up in over 2,700 locations for No Kings Day — the largest single day of protest in American history. From the coasts to the heartland, Americans came together to send one unmistakable message: We reject kings. We reject Trump’s corruption, cruelty, and authoritarianism.

✊ A Nation United in Defiance

From Boise to Denver, Nashville to Portland, Seattle to LA, and every town and city in between, the revolutionary spirit filled every corner of this country. Our Revolution helped organize turnout in over 60 locations, mobilizing grassroots leaders and local activists to take a stand for democracy, justice, and freedom.

In Hagerstown, Maryland, Our Revolution Chair Larry Cohen rallied a crowd of thousands, declaring:

“We are not for sale! We are here to fight oligarchy!”

The crowd roared in response — a reminder that this movement cannot be bought, silenced, or broken. This is what democracy looks like.

🌎 The People Rise, Trump Falls

Across the country, Americans stood up to reject Trump’s cruelty and corruption — from sending armed forces into our cities to threatening those who dare to stand up to his authoritarianism. But the more he tries to scare us, the more the people rise up.

Millions marched, chanted, and organized to show the world that in this country, there are no kings — only people united in the struggle for justice.

🌹 Our Revolution’s Role

Our Revolution powered this nationwide mobilization — providing organizers with legal support, rapid-response tools, materials, and training to ensure every protest was strong, safe, and impactful. From small-town volunteers to major city coalitions, our members helped turn an idea into the largest nonviolent protest America has ever seen.

Shoutout to Seattle, LA, Portland, Denver, and all the cities and towns in between that showed the heart and strength of our movement. Together, we proved that people-power is stronger than fear.

🚨 Turning Energy into Action

No Kings Day was a defining moment — but it’s only the beginning. Now it’s time to turn this energy into action.

Join Our Revolution’s Citizen Action Team to help us organize targeted pressure in the halls of power and mobilize voter turnout in key elections. Together, we’ll transform protest into policy and keep building the movement to reclaim our democracy.

Fire Carr

By Homepage Slot 5, Homepage2, Take Action

On Tuesday, Our Revolution activists confronted Trump’s censorship czar at the FCC’s first open meeting since he pressured ABC affiliates to pull Jimmy Kimmel Live! off the air.

“This was us using our free speech rights to tell Brendan Carr that he can’t use threats as FCC chair to impinge those rights,” Our Revolution deputy director Paco Fabián told The Hollywood Reporter.

Carr sat stone-faced while we chanted “Fire Carr, the censorship czar!” — before Homeland Security officers escorted us out.

“Carr has sided with corporate power brokers like the Ellisons and Murdochs, working to create media monopolies that silence independent voices and undermine free speech,” Paco told news outlets. “Activists directly confronted Carr during the meeting and call out his role in eroding democracy.”

Trump and his cronies won’t silence our dissent. Free speech means the right to call out corruption, oligarchy, and authoritarianism.

Our Revolution Endorses Cori Bush to Reclaim MO-1

By Endorsement, MO

Our Revolution Endorses Cori Bush to Reclaim MO-1:

Our Revolution proudly endorses Cori Bush in her courageous campaign to reclaim Missouri’s 1st Congressional District. Cori has always stood with the people—unapologetically, fearlessly — and now she’s answering the call again in a race that matters for the future of progressive politics.

Why We Support Cori Bush

  • Rooted in activism, not special interests. Cori’s journey is built on community struggle. She’s a nurse, pastor, and longtime organizer who was on the frontlines of Ferguson, standing with Black Lives Matter and demanding justice for her community.
  • Bold progressive vision. In Congress, Cori championed Medicare for All, cancellation of student debt, expanding reproductive rights, and reallocating resources from policing to people. Her agenda is not incremental—it’s transformative.
  • A consistent fighter against corporate influence. Her re-election bid is a stand against the billionaire-backed machine that ousted her from MO-1. In her 2024 primary loss, pro-Israel super PACs poured $8.5+ million into the race to unseat her precisely because she refused to be silenced.
  • A mandate to push forward—not retreat. Cori doesn’t move backward. She moves forward. We need leaders who don’t compromise when conditions get tough—and that’s exactly what she’s running to do.

The Stakes Are High

Missouri’s 1st has too often been treated as safe ground for establishment politics. But that’s not good enough when people are crushed by healthcare costs, racial injustice, climate collapse, and widening inequality. The district deserves a representative who will fight for working people—not corporate donors, not talk-show headlines, and not political insiders.

The powerful forces that tried to silence Cori last cycle are mobilizing again. This time, we’re not only going to resist their influence—we’re going to outwork it. We will make this race about people, not PACs or dark money.

What We’ll Do Together

  • Mobilize the grassroots. Volunteers across Missouri and the country will knock doors, phonebank, and build relationships with voters who rarely get heard.
  • Amplify her message. We’ll spread Cori’s vision through social media, texts, and community forums to counter the billionaire-funded narrative.
  • Build a durable movement. This campaign isn’t just about one race—it’s about strengthening the progressive infrastructure in MO-1, inspiring local power, and shifting the balance of power nationally.

Cori’s running again because she knows what we already do: When we organize, we win.

This time, we reclaim MO-1—not for elites, but for working people.
— The Our Revolution Team

Help us ramp up our grassroots GOTV machine to elect progressives up and down the ballot this November and hit the ground running for 2026 — every dollar helps!
