Ayanna Pressley for Congress in Massachusetts’ 7th District
Our Revolution is proud to endorse Ayanna Pressley for re-election to Congress in Massachusetts’ 7th District.
Ayanna has never been interested in politics as usual. She believes the people closest to the pain should be closest to the power — and she has built her career around bringing the voices, experiences, and demands of people too often ignored in Washington directly into the halls of power.
That’s the kind of bold, movement-driven leadership we need more of in Congress.
Ayanna is an advocate, policymaker, activist, and survivor who has spent her career breaking barriers. In 2009, she became the first woman of color elected to the Boston City Council in its 100-year history. In 2018, voters sent her to Washington, making her the first woman of color elected to Congress from Massachusetts.
But Ayanna has always understood that making history matters most when you use that power to make change.
And she has.
Ayanna has fought for Medicare for All and against the deep disparities embedded in our healthcare system. She has championed housing as a human right, fought for greater federal investment in affordable housing, and helped successfully extend the federal eviction moratorium three times during the pandemic.
She spent years pushing for student debt cancellation, working alongside borrowers, advocates, Senator Elizabeth Warren, and congressional allies to press for action that ultimately delivered billions of dollars in debt relief.
Ayanna is fighting for reproductive freedom and abortion access, a Green New Deal, strong public schools and better pay for teachers, a humane immigration system, and safe, reliable public transportation.
And she has brought a transformative vision of justice to Congress.
Ayanna introduced the People’s Justice Guarantee, a framework for fundamentally reimagining a criminal legal system that has disproportionately harmed Black and brown communities. As a survivor of sexual violence herself, she has also made addressing violence and trauma a central part of her work, fighting for policies that create pathways to justice and healing.
Her progressive values are delivering tangible results back home, too. Ayanna’s campaign says she has helped deliver more than $35 million in funding to Massachusetts’ 7th District for community health centers, transit projects, workforce training, climate justice, and other community priorities.
That combination matters: bold progressive vision paired with the ability to deliver for the people you represent.
At a moment when powerful forces are trying to roll back reproductive freedom, divide our communities, undermine our democracy, and make working people pay the price, we need leaders who aren’t afraid to fight for transformational change.
Ayanna Pressley is one of those leaders.
She understands that our movements are strongest when the people most impacted aren’t simply invited into the conversation — they have real power to shape the outcome.
And she understands something fundamental to Our Revolution: lasting change doesn’t come from waiting for those in power to give it to us. It comes when people organize, mobilize their collective power, and demand something better.
Our Revolution is proud to endorse Ayanna Pressley for Congress in Massachusetts’ 7th District.
Let’s keep a bold progressive champion fighting for justice, dignity, and working people in Congress.
When we organize, we win.
