People Power Surges in Texas: Christian Menefee Advances to Runoff

By Endorsement, TX

Momentum is building in Texas! Our Revolution is proud to celebrate Christian Menefee’s powerful showing in the race for U.S. House, where he has advanced to the runoff election for Texas’s 18th Congressional District — a key step toward sending another bold progressive voice to Washington.

✊ A Champion for Justice and Accountability

As Harris County Attorney, Christian Menefee has taken on some of the most powerful interests in Texas — from defending voting rights to challenging corporate polluters and standing up to far-right attacks on local democracy. His record proves what’s possible when leaders fight unapologetically for working people, civil rights, and the rule of law.

Now, Menefee is taking that same courage and conviction to the national stage — running to represent Texas families who are ready for leaders who will take on corporate greed, defend democracy, and build an economy that works for everyone, not just the wealthy few.

🌹 Our Revolution’s Movement in Action

Our Revolution members across Texas have been phone banking, canvassing, and mobilizing voters to power this grassroots campaign — proving once again that organizing, not big money, moves elections. With millions in corporate PAC dollars flooding Texas politics, Christian’s success shows that people power is still the strongest force in democracy.

But this fight isn’t over. The runoff ahead will be a showdown between corporate influence and community power, and Our Revolution is ready to stand shoulder to shoulder with Christian Menefee to make sure the people’s voice prevails.

💪 When We Organize, We Win

Christian’s path to the runoff is a victory for working people across Texas — and a signal that the progressive movement is growing stronger every day.

Our Revolution is committed to mobilizing volunteers, voters, and allies to help Christian Menefee win this runoff and bring true progressive leadership to Congress.

💪 When We Organize, We Win

Building Community-Centered Public Safety: Drew knows true safety goes beyond policing. His plan emphasizes mental health response teams, violence prevention, and neighborhood investment that strengthen trust and keep communities safe.

By Endorsement, Uncategorized, VA No Comments

Victory for the people in Virginia! Our Revolution congratulates Delegate Joshua Cole on his re-election — a major win for grassroots progressives and working families across the Commonwealth.

✊ Why This Win Matters

Joshua Cole isn’t just a public servant — he’s a movement leader. Raised in Fredericksburg and serving as a pastor, Josh has always been rooted in his community, standing up for justice, equity, and opportunity for all.

As chair of the subcommittee on constitutional amendments, Josh championed a measure to enshrine reproductive freedom — including abortion, contraception, and prenatal care — in Virginia’s Constitution. This victory lays the foundation for a future ballot initiative to protect these rights statewide.

Josh has led the fight against corruption, authoring a bill banning the use of campaign funds for personal expenses — a key step in reducing corruption and restoring public trust in government.

First-Gen, Grassroots Power: From becoming one of the first Black delegates elected from the Fredericksburg region to winning re-election with a powerful grassroots mandate, Josh Cole embodies the people-powered leadership our movement fights for every day.

🌹 A Larger Fight, A Deeper Movement

Cole’s victory is more than one campaign — it’s part of a broader wave of progressive wins across Virginia, where organizers, voters, and everyday people are rising up to demand a government that works for the many, not the money.

People Power Wins! Zohran Mamdani Elected Mayor of New York City

By Endorsement, Homepage Slot 1, NJ No Comments

Last night, the people of New York City made history.

In a stunning upset, Zohran Mamdani—a proud democratic socialist and champion for working people—won the race for Mayor of New York City, defeating Donald Trump’s chosen candidate, the Democratic establishment machine, and the billionaire donor class that tried to buy this election.

This victory is a testament to our grassroots power and a resounding rejection of corruption, oligarchy, and corporate power—and a clear mandate for a New York that works for the many, not the money. 

✊ A Movement Victory

“Our message to the establishment is clear,” said Joseph Geevarghese, Executive Director of Our Revolution—the nation’s largest grassroots independent political organizing group founded by Sen. Bernie Sanders.

“Mamdani and his message about the crisis of affordability defeated Donald Trump, the Democratic establishment, and the donor classes of both parties.

They’ll leave out the hard truths: Chuck Schumer and the Democratic establishment are losing relevance, AIPAC and the pro-Israel lobby have become toxic forces in Democratic politics, voters are fed up with the gerontocracy and political corruption, and a united grassroots movement built on a working-class agenda can—and will—beat the billionaire-backed status quo.”

Geevarghese added,

“Mamdani’s victory is a bellwether. Progressives are poised to defeat the establishment of both parties in 2026 and beyond with a populist message that raises the standard of living for working-class people and takes on the corporate class.”

🌹 Organizing Power on Display

In the lead-up to Election Day, Our Revolution carried out one of the largest independent progressive organizing efforts in New York City’s history—reaching more than half a million voters through door knocking, subway canvassing, community events, phone calls, texts, and emails.

From the Bronx to Queens, Brooklyn to Staten Island, Our Revolution members stood shoulder to shoulder with local activists, tenants, and union organizers to make sure working-class voices were heard—and votes were counted.

This grassroots mobilization proved once again that when we organize, we win.

🗽 A New Day for New York

Mamdani’s victory isn’t just a win for one campaign—it’s a triumph for our growing movement to confront corporate greed, take on oligarchy, push back against the far right, and win policy change for affordable housing, healthcare, childcare, and more!

The fight for economic justice and true democracy is far from over—but in this moment we celebrate a powerful step forward.

Our Revolution congratulates Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani, his campaign team, and the thousands of volunteers who made this victory possible. Together, we’re showing the nation what people power looks like.

Join Our Revolution to build on this momentum and organize the next wave of victories for working people across the country.

Our Revolution Endorses Cori Bush to Reclaim MO-1

By Endorsement, MO

Our Revolution Endorses Cori Bush to Reclaim MO-1:

Our Revolution proudly endorses Cori Bush in her courageous campaign to reclaim Missouri’s 1st Congressional District. Cori has always stood with the people—unapologetically, fearlessly — and now she’s answering the call again in a race that matters for the future of progressive politics.

Why We Support Cori Bush

  • Rooted in activism, not special interests. Cori’s journey is built on community struggle. She’s a nurse, pastor, and longtime organizer who was on the frontlines of Ferguson, standing with Black Lives Matter and demanding justice for her community.
  • Bold progressive vision. In Congress, Cori championed Medicare for All, cancellation of student debt, expanding reproductive rights, and reallocating resources from policing to people. Her agenda is not incremental—it’s transformative.
  • A consistent fighter against corporate influence. Her re-election bid is a stand against the billionaire-backed machine that ousted her from MO-1. In her 2024 primary loss, pro-Israel super PACs poured $8.5+ million into the race to unseat her precisely because she refused to be silenced.
  • A mandate to push forward—not retreat. Cori doesn’t move backward. She moves forward. We need leaders who don’t compromise when conditions get tough—and that’s exactly what she’s running to do.

The Stakes Are High

Missouri’s 1st has too often been treated as safe ground for establishment politics. But that’s not good enough when people are crushed by healthcare costs, racial injustice, climate collapse, and widening inequality. The district deserves a representative who will fight for working people—not corporate donors, not talk-show headlines, and not political insiders.

The powerful forces that tried to silence Cori last cycle are mobilizing again. This time, we’re not only going to resist their influence—we’re going to outwork it. We will make this race about people, not PACs or dark money.

What We’ll Do Together

  • Mobilize the grassroots. Volunteers across Missouri and the country will knock doors, phonebank, and build relationships with voters who rarely get heard.
  • Amplify her message. We’ll spread Cori’s vision through social media, texts, and community forums to counter the billionaire-funded narrative.
  • Build a durable movement. This campaign isn’t just about one race—it’s about strengthening the progressive infrastructure in MO-1, inspiring local power, and shifting the balance of power nationally.

Cori’s running again because she knows what we already do: When we organize, we win.

This time, we reclaim MO-1—not for elites, but for working people.

Turn Jersey City Blue — Our Progressive Slate

By Endorsement, NJ

Turn Jersey City Blue — Our Progressive Slate

The stakes in Jersey City have never been higher — and Our Revolution is stepping up. We’re proud to back a bold, people-powered slate for the November 2025 municipal elections that can shift power away from entrenched interests and back to working people.

Meet Our Jersey City Slate

  • James Solomon – Mayoral Candidate
    Councilmember Solomon is running as a progressive, climate-centered champion who refuses to be “bought or bossed.” He’s already earned the endorsement of Climate Cabinet Action for his leadership on climate resilience and city-wide environmental policies. He has pushed for stronger tenant protections, halted sweetheart developer deals, and advocated for more transparency in local government.
  • At-Large Candidates: Mamta Singh, Michael Griffin, Roland Lavarro
    (We’ll insert their bios and backgrounds as soon as possible—if you can send me them, I’ll weave them in.)
  • Ward Council Candidates:
    • Denise Ridley (Ward A): A lifelong Jersey City resident and public servant, Ridley has represented Ward A since 2018 and is now running for reelection on Solomon’s slate. She’s earned the trust of transportation workers union ATU Local 823 and District 1199J healthcare workers for her record supporting labor, transit, and sustainable development.
    • Lorena Loayza (Ward B)
    • Dawn Giabalvo (Ward C)
    • Veronica Akaezuwa (Ward D)
    • Eleana Little (Ward E)

These candidates are united by a bold progressive vision: housing justice, community control, transparency, and a refusal to let corporate money drown out the needs of everyday people.

Why This Slate Matters

Jersey City is a microcosm of the broader struggle for democracy. The same forces that try to shape state and national politics—developers, corporate interests, opaque deals—are at work at the municipal level. That’s why winning local elections matters more than ever.

By backing Solomon and his entire progressive slate, we’re not just choosing better policies. We’re building power from the ground up. This is exactly what Our Revolution is all about.

When our neighbors win, we all win. Let’s show what grassroots progressive power can do in Jersey City.

  • A commitment to working-class interests over corporate money
  • A belief that democracy should be locally rooted
  • The courage to push policies like healthcare access, clean energy, and educational equity

When our neighbors win, we all win. Let’s show what grassroots progressive power can do in Pennsylvania!

Dayton Deserves Bold Progressive Leadership

By Endorsement, OH

Dayton Deserves Bold Progressive Leadership

This year in Dayton, progressives have a real shot at building power from the bottom up — and Our Revolution is proud to back three courageous candidates who are running to put people first: Shenise Turner-Sloss for Mayor, Darryl Fairchild for re-election (City Commissioner), and Jacob Davis for City Commissioner.

Why These Candidates Matter

  • Shenise Turner-Sloss (Mayor)
    As a Dayton City Commissioner, Shenise has already shown she’s a fighter for affordable housing, neighborhood investment, and transparency in government. She co-founded Neighborhoods Over Politics, leading efforts to direct over $7.6 million into community uplift and housing improvements. Her platform calls for reimagining public safety, boosting resident engagement, and putting local values ahead of corporate development.
  • Darryl Fairchild (City Commissioner, running for re-election)
    Fairchild has a track record of putting neighborhoods first. He’s championed water infrastructure protections, secured $5.2 million for housing, and pushed for policies that bring equity and transparency to city planning. In interviews, he cites revitalizing neglected areas, promoting inclusive development, and strengthening trust between government and residents as core priorities.
  • Jacob Davis (City Commissioner candidate)
    Jacob brings fresh energy and a community advocacy background to this race. A lawyer by training, Davis emphasizes economic justice, support for small businesses, and revitalizing struggling neighborhoods. He is campaigning under the slogan “Neighborhoods First. Progress for All.”

What This Slate Represents

Electing bold progressives in Dayton isn’t just about new names on ballots — it’s about reshaping power at the local level. These candidates reject corporate money, favor community-led development, and believe in cities that serve working people, not private interests.

By backing Turner-Sloss, Fairchild, and Davis, Our Revolution is investing in a future where Dayton’s policies reflect the needs and dreams of its residents — not the richest investors or developers.

Dayton is ready for a change. Let’s show what grassroots power can do when we support leaders who believe in justice, equity, and people over profit.
