State Sen. Sarah Eckhardt for Texas Comptroller

By Endorsement, TX

Our Revolution is proud to endorse State Sen. Sarah Eckhardt for Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts — a proven public servant committed to lowering costs for working families, fighting corruption, and restoring trust in government.

At a time when Texans are facing rising housing costs, higher utility bills, and growing economic uncertainty, the office of Comptroller matters more than ever. The Comptroller is the state’s chief financial officer — responsible for managing Texas’ revenue, overseeing billions in public funds, and ensuring taxpayer dollars are spent responsibly. Texans deserve a watchdog, not a rubber stamp for corporate giveaways.

A Record of Accountability and Reform

Sarah Eckhardt has built her career on transparency and public accountability. Before serving in the Texas Senate, she was the first female Travis County Judge, where she led efforts to improve fiscal oversight, invest in infrastructure, and strengthen public services. In the Senate, she has been a consistent voice for ethical government, responsible budgeting, and policies that serve everyday Texans — not special interests.

Sarah understands that budgets are moral documents. They reflect who government chooses to prioritize. And for too long, backroom deals and blank checks to corporate insiders have eroded public trust.

As Comptroller, Sarah has pledged to:

  • End corporate handouts that don’t deliver for Texans
  • Increase transparency in how public funds are allocated
  • Ensure taxpayer dollars are invested in schools, healthcare, infrastructure, and community resilience
  • Provide honest, independent economic analysis — free from political manipulation

Putting Texans First

The Comptroller’s office should be a firewall against corruption — not a facilitator of it. Sarah Eckhardt is running to bring integrity back to state finances and make sure public resources are used to lower costs and strengthen communities.

In an era of rising oligarch influence and political profiteering, Texas needs leaders willing to stand up to special interests and put working families first. Sarah has the experience, independence, and backbone to do just that.

Our Revolution is proud to stand with Sarah Eckhardt in this critical race.

Rev. Freddie Haynes for Congress in Texas’ 30th District

By Endorsement, TX

Our Revolution is proud to endorse Rev. Freddie Haynes for U.S. Congress in Texas’ 30th District — a lifelong movement leader whose decades of pastoral leadership and community organizing in Dallas have been rooted in the fight for justice, dignity, and opportunity for all.

Rev. Haynes is not new to this struggle. As Senior Pastor of Friendship-West Baptist Church in Dallas, he has built one of the most influential faith-based institutions in Texas — using the pulpit not just for preaching, but for organizing around voting rights, economic empowerment, healthcare access, criminal justice reform, and civil rights.

A Legacy of Organizing and Advocacy

For decades, Rev. Haynes has been on the frontlines of the fight for voting rights in Texas — a state where voter suppression and attacks on democracy are ongoing. He has mobilized thousands of Texans to participate in elections, advocated for expanded ballot access, and worked to ensure communities of color are heard and represented.

His leadership extends beyond the ballot box. Rev. Haynes has consistently spoken out for:

  • Economic justice and living wages
  • Expanded access to affordable healthcare
  • Criminal justice reform
  • Civil rights protections
  • Investment in underserved communities

Through faith-based organizing and coalition-building, he has demonstrated that moral clarity and political courage can move people into action.

A Voice for Working Families in Washington

Rev. Haynes is running for Congress because he believes working families in TX-30 deserve bold, accountable leadership that will fight for healthcare, good-paying jobs, and equal justice under the law — not corporate PAC money and political insiders.

At a time when billionaire influence threatens our democracy and too many politicians hesitate to challenge entrenched power, Rev. Haynes brings a lifetime of fearless advocacy. His campaign is grounded in community, faith, and a deep commitment to justice.

Our Revolution exists to elect leaders who will stand with the people and confront systems that prioritize profit over human dignity. Rev. Freddie Haynes embodies that mission.

We are proud to stand with him in this race.

Patty Garcia for U.S. Congress in Illinois’ 4th District

By Endorsement, IL

Our Revolution is proud to endorse Patty Garcia for U.S. Congress in Illinois’ 4th Congressional District — a proven community leader, public servant, and progressive advocate who has spent her career fighting for working families, immigrant rights, and economic justice.

Eric grew up in a military family that sometimes relied on food stamps, Medicaid, and disability support — experiences that shaped his commitment to expanding opportunity for all, not just the wealthy few. He went on to become a first-generation college graduate and built a career creating jobs and expanding access to affordable healthcare, including supporting services that lower costs and improve mental health care.

Eric’s campaign is powered by people. He’s pledged never to take corporate PAC or lobbyist money and is fighting to end corruption and make government accountable to everyday people. His platform tackles the biggest challenges facing families in California — from skyrocketing housing costs and high utility bills to the need for universal childcare, affordable healthcare, and strong protections for workers and veterans.

As someone who built nonprofits and companies that solve real problems, Eric brings a problem-solving, community-first approach to politics — not the old Washington playbook. He’s running to restore the American Dream by focusing on affordability, accountability, and aspiration for every family in the North Bay and beyond.

Our Revolution believes in leaders who fight for working people with integrity and courage. Eric Jones is one of those leaders — and we’re proud to stand with him as he brings a people-powered movement to Congress in 2026.

Jane Kim for California Insurance Commissioner

By CA, Endorsement

Our Revolution is proud to endorse Jane Kim for California Insurance Commissioner — a proven progressive leader who has spent her career fighting for working families and taking on corporate power.

Jane first made her mark as a San Francisco Supervisor, where she championed tenants’ rights, expanded affordable housing, and pushed for policies that protected low-income communities from displacement. She built a strong record advancing consumer protections, environmental justice, healthcare access, and economic fairness — consistently standing with grassroots movements over corporate lobbyists.

Throughout her time in public office, Jane has shown she understands how policy decisions affect everyday people. She has fought to make government more responsive, more accountable, and more focused on lifting up working families rather than enriching powerful interests.

The role of Insurance Commissioner is one of the most important consumer protection offices in California. As climate-driven disasters intensify and insurance companies seek to raise rates or withdraw coverage, families are being squeezed from all sides. We need a watchdog who will hold insurance corporations accountable, crack down on price gouging, and ensure that communities — not corporate profits — come first.

Jane Kim has the experience, the courage, and the progressive values to do exactly that.

California deserves an Insurance Commissioner who answers to the people. That’s why Our Revolution is proud to stand with Jane Kim.

Randy Villegas for U.S. Congress in California

By CA, Endorsement

Our Revolution is proud to endorse Randy Villegas for U.S. Congress in California — a working-class organizer and first-generation son of immigrants running a truly people-powered campaign.

Randy’s leadership was built in the community, not in corporate boardrooms. As a grassroots organizer, he has worked alongside working families to fight for housing justice, immigrant rights, and economic opportunity. His campaign reflects the lived experiences of everyday people who are tired of an economy rigged for billionaires and political insiders.

He’s running on a bold progressive platform: Medicare for All, housing as a human right, strong labor protections, climate action, and getting corporate money out of politics. Randy has committed to rejecting corporate PAC money because he believes elected officials should answer to voters — not wealthy donors.

At a time when corporate interests dominate Washington, Randy is part of a new generation of leaders ready to challenge oligarch power and fight for an economy that works for the many, not the wealthy few.

Our Revolution was founded to elect candidates exactly like Randy Villegas — leaders rooted in community, guided by justice, and committed to building real people power.

Vikki Goodwin for Texas Lt. Governor

By Endorsement, TX

Our Revolution is proud to endorse Rep. Vikki Goodwin for Lieutenant Governor of Texas — a four-term progressive leader with deep roots in public service and a powerful record of fighting for working families.

Vikki currently represents House District 47, covering Austin’s communities and the Lake Travis area. As Whip of the TX Legislative Progressive Caucus, she has shown a deep understanding of how budgets impact everyday Texans’ lives.

As Lt. Governor, we know she will continue to be a champion for strong public education, expanded healthcare, housing affordability, and our environmental infrastructure like water and energy systems. These are the leaders we need at every level of government.

A lifelong Texan and small business owner, Vikki brings real-world experience to her policy priorities. She’s also a proud community advocate and coalition builder, and her vision puts people first and stands in stark contrast to decades of leadership that has failed to invest in Texans’ futures.

The office of Lieutenant Governor in Texas holds great power over the state Senate and the legislative agenda — meaning this race matters. With lives and livelihoods on the line, especially in education, housing, and healthcare, we need leaders like Vikki who will fight for working people and democratic accountability.

Early voting for the Democratic primary is underway through Election Day March 3.

When we organize, we win — and with champions like Vikki Goodwin, Texas can move toward a future that works for all of us.

No Kings Day Returns March 28 — Let’s Make History

By Homepage Slot 2, Take Action No Comments

It’s official: the next No Kings Day is happening on March 28 — and Our Revolution is all in.

At a time when Trump and his allies are testing the limits of authoritarian power, one thing is clear: the American people are not backing down. They want us to stay home, stay quiet, and stay afraid. But across the country, people are doing the opposite — organizing, mobilizing, and showing up for one another.

Sign up to join a No Kings Day protest on March 28 

This is our chance to show Trump and the world the power of our opposition. Last June, 5 million people joined more than 2,100 No Kings Day actions nationwide. In October, we raised the bar even higher — 7 million people took to the streets in 2,700 cities. The world took notice, and so did Trump.

Because No Kings Day isn’t just a protest, it’s a declaration. It’s a reminder that democracy belongs to the people — not to billionaires, not to corporate lobbyists, and not to kings.

On March 28, we’re organizing to make this the biggest No Kings Day yet. That means recruiting new event hosts, reaching first-time participants, and equipping organizers with the tools they need — from flyers and digital toolkits to livestream support and legal resources.

This movement is powered by everyday people standing shoulder to shoulder in defense of democracy.

Trump and his cronies understand the threat that mass, peaceful mobilization poses to their grip on power. They know we’re growing in strength and energy as we head into the midterms. That’s why they try to smear, intimidate, and divide us.

But every time we show up in larger numbers, we prove something fundamental: authoritarianism cannot survive when millions of people refuse to comply.

On March 28, we rise together again. Plug in to take party by clicking here!

Democracy belongs to the people.
Not to the oligarchs.
Not to the powerful.
Not to kings.

When we organize, we win.

Tax the Billionaires. Fund the People.

By Homepage Slot 5, Take Action No Comments

Our Revolution proudly supports the California Billionaires Tax Act — a bold, people-powered measure to make the ultra-wealthy finally pay their fair share and invest in the future of our communities.

Roughly 200 California billionaires hold nearly $2 trillion in wealth — much of it shielded from taxation through loopholes and accounting tricks. Meanwhile, working families are squeezed by rising costs, underfunded schools, and threats to healthcare and essential services. It’s not an accident.

The California Billionaires Tax Act would raise $100 billion with a one-time 5% wealth tax and would help replace lost federal funding and protect critical programs — with 90% directed to healthcare and 10% to public K–14 education and state food assistance programs. All without a dime of extra taxes on the middle class or small businesses.

This is exactly the kind of structural reform our movement is fighting for nationwide. Defunding oligarchy isn’t just a slogan — it means cutting off the pipelines that allow billionaires to hoard wealth while public services are slashed. It means using public dollars for the public good.

California voters will have the chance to vote YES this November. If this passes, it can be a model for states around the country to do what’s right.

When we organize, we win — and when billionaires finally pay their fair share, our communities thrive.
