Our Revolution Endorses Drew Duncan for Kalamazoo City Commission

By nicolai Endorsement, MI

We’re excited to announce that Our Revolution is endorsing Drew Duncan for City Commission in Kalamazoo, Michigan!

Drew isn’t just talking about progressive change — he’s delivering it. As a community organizer and local leader, Drew has been at the forefront of efforts to make Kalamazoo a more just, sustainable, and equitable place for everyone.

Fighting for Affordable Housing

Drew has been a champion for housing justice, helping secure a new low-barrier shelter that’s now under construction. He continues to fight for zoning reform, tenant protections, and public investment to ensure every Kalamazoo resident has a safe place to call home.

Building Community-Centered Public Safety

Drew knows true safety goes beyond policing. His plan emphasizes mental health response teams, neighborhood infrastructure, and violence prevention programs that build trust and keep people safe.

Growing a Fairer Economy

Drew is committed to equitable economic development—attracting tax-generating businesses, removing barriers for local entrepreneurs, and ensuring investments reach historically underserved neighborhoods.

A Greener, Healthier Kalamazoo

A proven climate advocate, Drew is working to expand clean energy, green infrastructure, and protect natural spaces—always guided by science and community voices.

Kalamazoo deserves leaders ready to take on corporate greed, expand democracy, and deliver real results for working families. Drew Duncan has the vision, courage, and track record to do just that.

This is what Our Revolution was built for: electing bold progressives at every level of government who will challenge the status quo and put people over profit.

➡️ Together, let’s show what grassroots power can do in Kalamazoo.

When we organize, we win.

Victory: Aisha Braveboy

By nicolai Endorsement, MD

Prince George’s County made history — and Our Revolution members helped make it happen. Aisha Braveboy has been elected County Executive, and that’s a massive win for working people, not corporate power.

Aisha is the real deal. As State’s Attorney, she took on a broken criminal justice system, expanded diversion programs, and fought for fairness and transparency. She stood with our communities against corruption and refused to let the powerful play by their own rules.

Now, she’s bringing that same fearless leadership to the County Executive’s office — ready to:

Fight housing injustice and expand affordable homes.
Create union jobs and grow local businesses.
Fully fund public schools instead of padding developer profits.
Defend democracy and civil rights at every turn.

She didn’t get here by cozying up to oligarchs or taking billionaire checks. She got here because we had her back — knocking doors, making calls, and turning out the vote.

This is what people-powered politics looks like.
This is how we beat the establishment.

When we organize, we win!

DAVID SELIGMAN FOR ATTORNEY GENERAL

By nicolai CO, Endorsement

Our Revolution is proud to endorse David Seligman — a fearless progressive fighter for working people and justice for all.

As Executive Director of Towards Justice, David took on corporate giants and won: recovering stolen wages, breaking abusive non-compete agreements, protecting whistleblowers, and challenging workplace exploitation. He’s a proven champion for economic justice, civil rights, and democracy.

David will use the Attorney General’s office to:

Defend voting rights and reproductive freedom.
Hold big polluters accountable.
Investigate police misconduct.
Stop corporate profiteers like Palantir from violating our rights.

While Trump, Musk, and their billionaire allies try to weaponize government for the 1%, David will fight for the 99% — and win.

We’re all in for David Seligman. Let’s elect a people’s lawyer who will stand up to the powerful and deliver justice for all Coloradans.

When we organize, we win.

DONAVAN MCKINNEY FOR CONGRESS IN MI-13

By nicolai Endorsement, Homepage2, MI

Our Revolution is proud to endorse

Donavan McKinney

for Congress in Michigan’s 13th District!

Born and raised in Detroit, Donavan knows firsthand the challenges working-class families face. He’s lived them—and he’s spent his life fighting back. In the State House, he’s been a leading voice on the frontlines of environmental justice, voting rights, and economic equity. Now he’s ready to take that fight to Washington.

Donavan joined Our Revolution’s national organizing call and told us his story:

“I grew up poor, moving over 13 times in Detroit’s 13th district. I didn’t know where my next meal was coming from,” he said. “In 10th grade, my mom was crying because another young black kid was murdered in our neighborhood. She looked me in the eyes and said, ‘You have to survive.’ That moment made me realize we need to fight for a better community.”

As a state representative, Donovan has stood up to oligarchic influence:

“I’ve taken on the utilities companies and told them I won’t vote for something to give them more money while we sit in the dark. I’ve taken on contractors that were gouging our state… we passed one of the strongest ethics packages in the state’s history.”

This is what real progressive leadership looks like: someone who doesn’t just talk about justice, but delivers it. Someone rooted in the community, who will bring the voices of everyday people to the halls of Congress.

With your support, Donavan McKinney can help build the people-powered movement we need to take back our democracy and deliver for working families.

Let’s win MI-13—for the people.

ROBERT PETERS FOR CONGRESS IN IL-02

By nicolai Endorsement, Homepage2, IL

We’re excited to announce Our Revolution’s endorsement of

Robert Peters

for Congress in Illinois’ 2nd District!

Robert is a proven progressive fighter — a former grassroots organizer who’s spent his career standing up for working people, not corporate power.

In the Illinois State Senate, Robert helped lead the fight to end cash bail, expand voting rights, and invest in mental health care and youth jobs — policies rooted in justice, dignity, and equity.

Now he’s taking that fight to Washington.

Robert joined Our Revolution’s national organizing call and shared his story: “I was born hard of hearing and adopted by a civil rights lawyer and a social worker,” he shared. “When my family struggled, neighbors had their doors open. That’s what government should do—be there for people in times of need.”

Robert is a movement candidate through and through — organizing alongside working-class communities long before he ever held office. In the Illinois State Senate, he fought to end cash bail and redirect public resources from billionaire profiteers back to the people.

Robert has fought for economic and criminal justice reforms and won: “We moved from a system where people are jailed based on money to one based on safety.” He has passed laws to strengthen labor protections, including banning captive audience meetings and protecting temp workers from being used as strikebreakers.

His vision is clear: “Nobody should worry about healthcare, food, or housing. We need to restore dignity to working people and stand up to billionaires who put profits before people.”

We need more movement leaders in Congress — people who come from the struggle and are accountable to our communities, not billionaire donors.

Join Our Revolution and help elect Robert Peters — a working-class champion for IL-02 and for all of us.

ZOHRAN KWAME MAMDANI FOR NYC MAYOR

By nicolai Endorsement, NY

Our Revolution is proud to endorse Zohran Kwame Mamdani and Brad Lander in the race for New York City Mayor! Ranked choice voting means our movement is rallying behind BOTH of these champions who can defeat the Cuomo machine once and for all.

Zohran Kwame Mamdani served in the Assembly and has earned the backing of Senator Bernie Sanders and Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez for his bold vision to make NYC a city for the many, not the few. He’s fighting for free public transit, rent relief, universal childcare, and city-owned grocery stores — all paid for by making the ultra-rich pay their fair share. As Zohran put it:

“Cuomo’s campaign is a house of cards. The two strongest progressive campaigns can topple it together, and that’s exactly what we’re going to do.”

By Our Revolution AZ, Endorsement, Uncategorized

Congratulations to Adelita Grijalva on her big Democratic primary victory in Arizona’s 7th Congressional District!

We are proud to stand with a champion who’s rooted in community, committed to justice, and ready to take on corporate power in Washington — onward to November!

This is an exciting victory for Tucson City Councilmember Adelita Grijalva in Arizona’s 7th—a seat long held by her father, Rep. Raúl Grijalva, a founding co-chair of the Congressional Progressive Caucus and a proudly endorsed Our Revolution candidate.

“Adelita Grijalva has spent her life fighting for public education, healthcare for all, and immigrant justice—and tonight, voters affirmed her deep connection to this district and her proven commitment to the issues that matter to working people,” said Joseph Geevarghese, Executive Director of Our Revolution.“It’s clear voters want someone who understands the needs of this community and will carry forward a legacy of bold, values-driven leadership in Congress.”

This primary made clear what grassroots voters have been calling for: a leader willing to fight unapologetically for healthcare, climate justice, reproductive freedom, and an economy that works for everyday people. Adelita met the moment with clarity, consistency, and a commitment to bold ideas rooted in the realities of working-class Arizonans.

When we organize, we win!
