This is it — the make-or-break week for Trump’s latest assault on the public good.

By Friday, the Senate must vote on Trump’s so-called rescissions package — a dangerous maneuver to claw back billions in funding already approved by Congress. At the top of the target list? Public media and global health programs that millions rely on for accurate information, education, and life-saving services.

Trump’s aim is clear: defund PBS, NPR, and other public media, while gutting critical international health efforts — all to appease the far-right and dismantle programs that provide truth, science, and global stability.

But there’s good news: this anti-democratic stunt only succeeds if Republicans can hold the line. They can’t afford to lose more than four votes — and some key GOP Senators are already wavering thanks to public pressure.

That’s where we come in.

A Full-Scale Grassroots Push

Our Revolution is in a full sprint this week — mobilizing members across the country to flood Senate offices with calls, letters, and messages from constituents who care deeply about saving public media and defending global health investments.

We’re organizing in key states, setting up virtual lobby visits with critical swing-vote Senators, and delivering the voices of over 70,000 grassroots supporters demanding that Congress say NO to Trump’s reckless rescissions package.

These programs are not partisan luxuries — they are pillars of a functioning society. Whether it’s PBS in a rural classroom or disease prevention efforts across borders, the funding Trump wants to wipe out serves the public interest, not corporate profit.

Time Is Running Out

If the Senate doesn’t act by July 18, this rescissions package will die — but until then, the threat is real, and the clock is ticking.

📣 Join our effort to stop Trump’s rescissions and protect what matters:

We’re delivering 70,000 grassroots signatures to members of Congress on Tuesday, July 15 — and your voice should be part of it.

Together, we can stop this cynical attack on public media, defend global health, and remind Congress that the people — not Trump’s billionaire donors — are watching.

From Maine to Mississippi, Alaska to Florida, Our Revolution is mobilizing across the country to stop Trump’s “Big Ugly Bill” — a devastating attack on working families that would gut Medicaid, slash SNAP, and pour billions into deportation and corporate handouts.

We’re putting targeted pressure on key Senate Republicans like Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski, Thom Tillis, and others — making sure they hear directly from their constituents through our virtual lobby visits. In state after state, real people are joining our DC team on Zoom to speak face-to-face with top Senate staff and demand:

No cuts to Medicaid. No cuts to SNAP. No cuts to rural hospitals.

“My husband has diabetes. If they close our clinic, we’d have to drive two hours to see a doctor. We’re growing a bigger garden this year—just in case they cut more.”
— Randy, Alaska

“I deliver mail to a 99-year-old vet who depends on me for his meds. I’m fighting so Social Security is still there when I need it, too.”
— Patricia, Mississippi

This is people-powered resistance — and it’s working. With pressure mounting in the Senate, we’re now just three GOP votes away from stopping this cruel legislation dead in its tracks.

In just the past few weeks alone, we’ve brought grassroots voices into meetings with Senate offices in Oklahoma, North Carolina, Nebraska, Missouri, Iowa, and more. These stories are impossible to ignore — and they’re shaking loose cracks in Republican support for Trump’s toxic budget.

Now is the time to turn up the heat.

This is what people-powered resistance looks like — and we can only do it because of our movement and our activists taking a stand.

We’re thrilled to celebrate a major people-powered victory: Zohran Kwame Mamdani has won the first round of New York City’s Democratic mayoral primary, defeating disgraced former Governor Andrew Cuomo and taking the lead in the race to become the city’s next mayor.

With nearly 44% of first-choice votes, Zohran’s commanding lead is a direct result of tireless grassroots organizing, a bold progressive vision, and deep support from working-class communities across all five boroughs. Backed by Our Revolution, Senator Bernie Sanders, and Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Zohran ran on a transformative agenda: free public transit, universal childcare, rent relief, city-owned grocery stores, and taxing the ultra-wealthy to pay for it.

This is more than a political victory — it’s a clear rejection of oligarch politics and a powerful step toward a New York City that puts people before profit.

“This campaign is proving that a united grassroots can take on billionaires and win,” said Our Revolution Executive Director Joseph Geevarghese. “We’re proud to have stood with Zohran from the beginning — and we’re ready to finish this fight.”

Stay tuned as ranked-choice tabulations continue — but for now, we celebrate a major milestone for the progressive movement in the heart of America’s largest city.

Let’s keep organizing. Let’s keep winning.
