After years of relentless grassroots pressure from Our Revolution members, the Democratic National Committee has just announced a vote on a landmark resolution that could finally stop secret, billionaire-funded dark money from buying influence in the Democratic presidential nominating process.
For too long, super PACs and corporate front groups have poured undisclosed cash into our elections — drowning out the voices of working people and forcing progressive, working-class candidates out of the race before voters even get a say.
Now, we have the chance to change that — once and for all.
On August 27th, the DNC will vote on a resolution to block dark money interference in Democratic primaries. Whether we win depends on what we do right now. Click here to add your voice to this critical push.
Our Revolution’s Fight for a People-Powered Party
Our Revolution has been leading this fight for years. Chair Larry Cohen and founding board member Jane Kleeb have been championing one simple, radical idea:
“Voters should determine who the candidates are. Not big money. Not billionaires. Voters.”
We’ve pushed the DNC to take a stand against billionaire super PACs — and now, because of that work, we have the opportunity to win two major reforms this month:
1. End Dark Money in Primaries
The resolution would stop billionaire-backed super PACs from flooding Democratic primaries with attack ads, endorsements, and cash to push out grassroots candidates.
2. Lock in the End of Superdelegates
A proposed charter change from DNC Vice Chair Ken Martin would enshrine the “no superdelegates” rule we’ve been fighting for since Bernie’s 2016 campaign — ensuring voters, not insiders, choose our nominee.
The Establishment Won’t Give In Easily
Make no mistake: corporate lobbyists and establishment operatives are already working the phones to quietly kill these reforms before the vote. They know what’s at stake — and they’ll do whatever it takes to keep the system rigged in their favor.
That’s why we need to flood DNC members with calls and messages demanding they stand with the grassroots, not dark money donors.
This is our moment to make the Democratic Party live up to its values and lead the way in ending Citizens United’s stranglehold on our democracy.
We’ve Proven We Can Win
Earlier this year, thanks to pressure from thousands of Our Revolution members, the new DNC leadership committed to banning billionaire money as a core principle. That was a huge step forward.
Now, we need to get these two reforms over the finish line — together.
Add your name now and tell your local and state party leaders:
Stand with the Grassroots. Get corporate and dark money OUT of primaries.
When we organize, we win. Let’s win this.
