Rep. Delia Ramirez for Reelection in Illinois’ 3rd District

By Endorsement, IL

Our Revolution is proud to endorse Rep. Delia Ramirez for reelection to Congress in Illinois’ 3rd District. From her earliest days in office, Delia has embodied the bold, people-powered leadership our movement exists to elect — standing unapologetically with working people, challenging corporate power, and pushing for transformative change.

A Record of Progressive Wins

Since arriving in the U.S. House, Delia has been a force for progress on the issues that matter most to our communities. She has:

  • Championed Medicare for All by co-sponsoring legislation that would ensure affordable, quality healthcare for every person in this country.
  • Led the fight for environmental justice, advancing climate solutions that prioritize frontline communities and clean energy jobs.
  • Defended workers’ rights and economic dignity, advocating for paid leave, fair wages, and protections for working families.
  • Stood with immigrant communities as a vocal opponent of cruel deportation policies and a defender of humane immigration reform.
  • Fought for reproductive freedom, voting to safeguard and expand access to reproductive healthcare for all.

Delia’s leadership reflects the values of our movement: she doesn’t just talk about justice — she votes for it, organizes for it, and uses her platform to uplift the voices of people who have long been ignored by corporate-backed politicians.

Fighting Corporate Power and Oligarch Influence

Delia is a cosponsor of the Defund the Oligarchs and Fund the People resolution — introduced to Congress by Rep. Rashida Tlaib with our support. Together we’re confronting the dangerous fusion of billionaire money and political power. That resolution, grounded in research by Our Revolution, calls for ending corporate subsidies, tax giveaways, and political favoritism that funnel wealth upward while everyday people struggle to afford healthcare, housing, and education.

Our Revolution endorsed Delia in her first race for Congress, and since then we’ve worked alongside her on key issues like holding corporate polluters accountable, expanding democratic participation, and defending immigrant rights. She is a partner in the movement, not just a voice in Washington.

People-Powered Leadership in a Critical Time

In an era where billionaire interests and corporate PACs dominate political influence, Delia’s commitment to people-centered policy is exactly what Congress needs. She shows up for frontline communities, listens to working families, and consistently fights for an agenda that reflects the priorities of everyday people — not special interests.

As Republicans continue to push policies that enrich the wealthy and erode basic rights, we need leaders like Delia who will stand firm for democracy, economic justice, and human dignity.

Make a Plan to Vote

Election Day for the primary is March 17. We encourage all supporters of progressive leadership to turn out and help reelect Rep. Delia Ramirez — a leader who consistently delivers for working people.

When we organize, we win. ✊

Clayton Tucker for Texas Agriculture Commissioner

By Endorsement, TX

Our Revolution is proud to endorse Clayton Tucker for Texas Agriculture Commissioner — a rancher and longtime community organizer, he has dedicated his life to challenging corporate influence in agriculture and fighting for economic justice across the state.

He also serves as President of the Texas Progressive Caucus and has worked as a fair trade organizer, taking on powerful interests that ship jobs overseas and rig the rules against working families.

Clayton’s vision for the Agriculture Commissioner’s office is clear: make food and farming affordable, protect water and land resources, support sustainable and regenerative practices, and ensure that family farmers and ranchers — not big agribusiness monopolies — thrive in Texas.

His deep ties to grassroots movements — including his history of organizing with Our Revolution Texas — show that Clayton doesn’t just talk about people-powered change, he lives it.

A Vision for Texas Agriculture That Puts People First

As Texas Agriculture Commissioner, Clayton Tucker will bring a people-centered agenda to an office too often dominated by corporate agribusiness interests. His priorities include:

  • Supporting small and mid-sized farms over corporate monocultures
  • Expanding access to healthy, affordable food in rural and urban communities
  • Defending farmworkers’ rights and labor protections
  • Promoting regenerative, climate-smart farming practices
  • Challenging corporate influence and oligarchic control over Texas agriculture policy
  • Ensuring fair markets and competition for family farmers and ranchers

Clayton understands that agricultural policy isn’t just about crops and cattle — it’s about food security, environmental sustainability, rural economic development, and justice for the people who work the land.

Our Movement, Our Fight

In endorsing Clayton Tucker, Our Revolution is backing a candidate who represents the heart of people-powered politics: leaders who organize with communities, fight for structural change, and refuse corporate PAC money.

Texas deserves an Agriculture Commissioner who will stand up to agribusiness monopolies, defend the rights and livelihoods of small farmers and farmworkers, and work every day to ensure that our food and land policies serve the people — not just the powerful.

Clayton Tucker is that leader — and we are proud to stand with him. Election Day is March 3.

When we organize, we win. ✊

Tristan Rader for Ohio State Rep in HD-13

By Endorsement, OH

Our Revolution is proud to endorse Tristan Rader for the Ohio House — a proven progressive leader who has delivered real results for working people and communities across Northeast Ohio.

Tristan currently serves as State Representative for Ohio’s 13th District, representing Cleveland’s West Side and Lakewood. Prior to his election to the Statehouse, he served on the Lakewood City Council, where he built a strong record of people-centered leadership rooted in community needs.

Before holding office, Tristan worked as a community organizer and clean energy advocate, including with the Greater Cleveland Food Bank, helping connect neighbors to essential resources. That background continues to shape his work in office — focusing on economic justice, environmental sustainability, and community health.

In the Ohio Legislature, Tristan has been a consistent voice for clean energy, environmental justice, and policies that lower costs for working families. He has championed community energy projects, fought for cleanup of polluted sites, and pushed back against policies that put corporate interests ahead of public good.

Why We’re Endorsing Tristan

Tristan Rader represents the kind of leadership Our Revolution exists to elect: bold, principled, and grounded in organizing. He doesn’t just talk about progressive values — he works to turn them into concrete wins for the people he represents.

At a time when Ohio needs leaders willing to stand up to corporate power and fight for everyday people, Tristan has shown he’s ready — and already doing the work.

Make a Plan to Vote

Early in-person voting begins April 8, and Election Day is May 5. We encourage everyone in the district to vote early if possible and help re-elect a leader who puts people first.

Our Revolution is proud to stand with Tristan Rader.

Junaid Ahmed for Congress IL-08

By Endorsement, IL

Our Revolution is proud to endorse Junaid Ahmed for U.S. Congress in Illinois’ 8th District — a grassroots leader, small business owner, and relentless advocate for working families who will bring people-powered progressive leadership to Washington.

A Fighter for Working People and Community Power

Junaid’s life and work reflect the values our movement was built on. As the son of immigrant working-class parents, he grew up seeing firsthand how hard families work to make ends meet, and he’s dedicated his life to building pathways to opportunity and justice for others.

Throughout his career, Junaid has been a community organizer and small business owner — founding a tech company that employs local workers and co-founding Chi-Care, a nonprofit that has delivered over one million meals and supplies to unhoused neighbors across the Chicago area.

When the COVID-19 pandemic hit, Junaid didn’t step back — he stepped up, launching efforts to deliver hot meals and essential support to those most affected, demonstrating the kind of compassionate leadership our communities need.

A Bold Progressive Agenda

Junaid is running to fix a system that too often serves corporations and billionaires instead of working people. He has pledged to:

  • Fight for Medicare for All and affordable healthcare
  • Raise wages and protect workers’ rights
  • Champion quality public education and affordable college
  • Reduce the influence of corporate money in politics
  • Take on the climate crisis with bold, equitable action
  • Defend immigrant, civil, and LGBTQ+ rights
    These priorities align with the values driving our Defund the Oligarchs campaign and the broader progressive movement.

Standing With Movement Allies

Junaid has earned key progressive endorsements, including from the Congressional Progressive Caucus PAC, which recognizes his vision for people-centered leadership in Congress. He has also received backing from Justice Democrats, further highlighting his commitment to rejecting corporate PAC money and building a government that answers to people — not special interests.

People-Powered, Not Corporate-Funded

Junaid refuses corporate PAC money, believing ballots — not big checks — should determine our leadership. His campaign’s grassroots fundraising and broad community support reflect the power of working people organizing together for change.

A Progressive Voice for Illinois and the Nation

As Our Revolution continues the fight to Defund Oligarchy and Fund the People, Junaid Ahmed stands as a candidate who understands the stakes — from healthcare and housing to workers’ rights and democratic accountability. His life’s work is rooted in service, compassion, and community empowerment, and we’re proud to stand with him.

Join us in supporting Junaid Ahmed for Congress in Illinois’ 8th District.

When we organize, we win. ✊

Nida Allam for Congress in NC-04

By Endorsement

Our Revolution is proud to endorse Nida Allam for U.S. Congress in North Carolina’s 4th District — a fearless progressive leader, lifelong organizer, and proven champion for working people.

Nida’s roots in this movement run deep. She served as Political Director for Bernie Sanders’ 2016 presidential campaign, helping build the grassroots infrastructure that sparked a political revolution across the country. That’s why Bernie Sanders — Our Revolution’s founder — has also endorsed Nida, and why we’re excited to help elect her to Congress.

A Leader Forged Through Organizing and Courage

Nida’s decision to enter public life was deeply personal. In 2015, three of her closest friends were shot and killed in an Islamophobic hate crime — an act of violence that local authorities wrongly dismissed as a “parking dispute.” That moment changed her life and propelled her into organizing and politics, determined to fight hate, injustice, and systems that silence marginalized communities.

Her leadership broke barriers: Nida Allam became the first Muslim woman ever elected to public office in North Carolina.

Delivering Real Change in Office

Today, Nida serves on the Durham County Commission, where she’s delivered tangible wins for working families and immigrant communities. In office, she:

  • Voted to raise the minimum wage for county employees to $15 an hour
  • Led the charge for low-income tax grant assistance during the pandemic
  • Secured funding for a Refugee and Immigrant Services Coordinator to better serve families in her district

Her record proves what happens when organizers govern — people’s lives improve.

The Leadership Congress Needs Now

Nida is running for Congress to bring that same clarity and courage to Washington. She’s fighting for Medicare for All, climate justice, strong labor rights, reproductive freedom, immigrant justice, and getting big money out of politics— because democracy can’t work when billionaires and corporate lobbyists write the rules.

At a moment when oligarch power threatens our economy and our democracy, Nida understands what’s at stake — and she’s ready to confront it head-on.

Building People Power, Not Corporate Power

Nida’s campaign is powered by grassroots supporters, not corporate PACs. It reflects the values Our Revolution was founded to advance: bold leadership, deep organizing, and unwavering accountability to working people.

With Bernie Sanders’ endorsement and the support of Our Revolution members nationwide, Nida Allam is ready to bring movement leadership to Congress and help lead the fight to Defund Oligarchy and fund the people.

We’re proud to stand with her.

Join us in supporting Nida Allam for Congress in NC-04.

Defund ICE After Alex Pretti Shooting

By Homepage Slot 6 No Comments

Just weeks after Renee Nicole Good was killed, it happened again in Minnesota.

Alex Pretti has been shot and killed by ICE agents in Minneapolis — and the Trump administration immediately rushed to spread claims that contradict what people on the ground say they witnessed. This is what zero accountability looks like.

ICE is acting like Trump’s private police force — and unless Congress stops funding this violent machinery, the terror will only escalate.

Take action now:

The Senate is about to vote on $10 BILLION more for ICE

This week, the Senate is preparing to vote on a government funding package that includes $10 billion more for ICE and DHS.

After many Senate Democrats initially signaled they’d support the bill, the pressure is finally working — and now more are vowing to oppose it in the wake of Alex Pretti’s killing.

But we cannot let them cave.

Anyone who votes to rubber-stamp ICE’s budget will be complicit in this unchecked machinery of violence.

Congress keeps writing the checks — and our communities keep paying the price

Federal agents are brutalizing protesters. Families are living in fear. Communities are being treated like occupied territory.

And still, Congress keeps sending ICE more money — using our taxpayer dollars.

Just last week, even House Democrats broke ranks to vote for billions more in ICE funding. Now the Senate has a chance to stop this funding surge — but they’ll only hold the line if the public makes it impossible to ignore.

Demand your Senator reject ICE funding and stop the violence.

Alex Pretti should be alive today. Renee Nicole Good should be alive today. And no administration should be allowed to cover up deadly violence while demanding billions more to expand it.

Congress must act — now.

When we organize, we win.

Analilia Mejia Wins NJ-11 Primary

By Endorsement, NJ

A People-Powered Upset Victory, Now On to the General!

 

After a nail-biter vote count and being vastly outspent by big-money, establishment-backed opponents, Analilia Mejia has won the Democratic primary for Congress in New Jersey’s 11th District. She beat the machine. She beat the money. She won with people power.

From the beginning, Our Revolution proudly endorsed Analilia because she represents exactly the kind of bold, grassroots leadership our movement exists to elect. A former union organizer, she helped win a $15 minimum wage and paid sick days, and later as National Political Director for Bernie Sanders’ 2020 campaign, she helped build a nationwide movement to un-rig the economy and take on corporate power.

Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez endorsed Analilia in this race, and Bernie joined her for a rally on MLK Day as part of his Fight Oligarchy Tour. That movement energy carried her across the finish line against opponents backed by massive outside spending and political insiders.

Analilia didn’t run to play politics as usual — and voters responded. She ran on Medicare for All, climate action, labor rights, reproductive freedom, immigrant justice, and getting big money out of politics. She ran to take on the billionaire class and corporate lobbyists who have rigged the system — and to build a government that invests in We the People.

Now, Analilia advances to the April 16 special general election, and the stakes couldn’t be higher. NJ-11 has the opportunity to send a true progressive champion to Washington — someone rooted in organizing, accountable to working families, and unafraid to confront corporate power.

This victory proves what we already know:

When we organize, we win. ✊

Tell Congress: Defund ICE

By Homepage Slot 6 No Comments

Renee Nicole Good was killed by an ICE agent in Minneapolis.

Before her name was even released, the Trump administration rushed to control the story — claiming “self-defense” and flooding the airwaves with lies and disinformation. But video footage tells a very different story. 

Now, the FBI has reportedly locked Minnesota officials out of the investigation.

This is what zero accountability looks like — and we cannot sit by while Trump and his cronies try to cover it up.

It’s long past time Congress acts to stop ICE’s reign of terror — and right now is the moment to force their hand.

If enough of us speak out, we can make them act.


Tell Congress: DEFUND ICE NOW!

Progressives are drawing a line — and we need to back them up

Today, the Congressional Progressive Caucus announced they’re ready to use the next budget fight to stop funding ICE unless meaningful reforms are enacted.

As Rep. Ilhan Omar said:

“Our caucus members will oppose all funding for immigration enforcement in any appropriation bills until meaningful reforms are enacted to end militarized policing practices.”

That’s leadership — but it will only hold if Congress feels massive public pressure.

ICE violence is escalating — by design

The Trump administration has warned it is launching its “largest operation to date” in the Twin Cities, deploying thousands of federal agents and escalating raids and street detentions.

If Congress doesn’t rein in ICE now, these abuses will get worse. We cannot allow ICE to terrorize our communities and call it “normal.” We cannot allow Trump’s agents to become an unchecked force inside our cities.

Send a message directly to your representatives: DEFUND ICE NOW

Renee Nicole Good deserved her life, her dignity, and her rights — not government violence and a cover-up.

When we organize, we win.

Congress Must Impeach Kristi Noem

By Homepage, Homepage Slot 5 No Comments

🚨 Democrats just announced they’re moving forward to impeach Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem — and we need to OVERWHELM Congress with massive public pressure to make it happen.

Last week, Renee Nicole Good was shot and killed by an ICE agent in Minneapolis. Instead of offering transparency or accountability, Noem raced to the cameras within hours to justify the killing and smear Renee’s name — even as video evidence raised serious questions about the administration’s claims.

Add your name now: Demand Congress impeach Kristi Noem.

Noem lied — then doubled down

After Renee’s death, Noem went on live TV labeling her a “domestic terrorist” and claiming “self-defense.” But reporting and video accounts tell a very different story. And when the public demanded answers, Noem didn’t correct the record — she doubled down, insulting a grieving family and a devastated community.

Now she’s escalating further — ramping up federal immigration operations and flooding Minnesota with more agents, fueling fear and intimidation.

This isn’t just reckless. It’s dangerous.

It’s not just Minnesota. Last year, 32 people died in ICE custody — the deadliest year in more than 20 years. This system is out of control, and Noem is making it worse.

Congress has an opportunity to act now — but it will take massive public outrage to force them to move.

Add your name right now: Impeach Kristi Noem and end her reign of lies and violence.

Our Revolution and our allies recently pressured Avelo Airlines to stop operating deportation flights — proof that when we organize, we can win real change.

Now it’s time to bring that same people power to Congress — for Renee, for our communities, and for justice.

When we organize, we win.
