Progressives for New York State Assembly PART 2

 

The fight for progressive power in New York is heading into the General Election.

Our Revolution is proud to endorse five candidates for New York State Assembly who are ready to fight for working people in Albany: Eli Northrup, Maurice Brown, Kurtis VanWuyckhuyse, Patrick Burke, and Adam Bojak.

From Manhattan and Syracuse to Rochester and Buffalo, these candidates are taking on rising costs, fighting for affordable housing and healthcare, standing with workers, and working to build a government that delivers for everyday New Yorkers.

Eli Northrup — Assembly District 69

Eli Northrup is a public defender, policy advocate, and community leader who has spent his career fighting for justice and standing up for people. As Policy Director for the Criminal Defense Practice at The Bronx Defenders, Eli has helped lead efforts in Albany to protect due process, expand opportunities for people with criminal records, and reform New York’s criminal justice system.

Now the Democratic and Working Families Party nominee for AD-69, Eli is running on a bold affordability agenda that includes universal childcare, universal healthcare, more affordable housing, stronger tenant protections, and making corporations and the wealthiest New Yorkers pay their fair share.

Maurice Brown — Assembly District 129

Maurice “Mo” Brown is a veteran, homeowner, and Onondaga County Legislator running to deliver stronger results for working families in Central New York.

His campaign is focused on lowering costs, expanding affordable housing, reducing utility bills, improving public transportation, investing in prevention-focused public safety, and making corporations and the ultra-wealthy pay their fair share. After a people-powered primary campaign fueled by volunteers, small-dollar donors, and grassroots organizing, Mo is taking that fight to the General Election.

Kurtis VanWuyckhuyse — Assembly District 134

Kurtis VanWuyckhuyse grew up in Hamlin, attended Hilton schools, and now works as General Manager of a family-owned auto business. As a longtime renter in Greece, Kurt says the pressures of rising costs and housing insecurity aren’t abstract political issues — they’re part of his own experience.

Running on a “People Over Profit” platform and rejecting corporate PAC and special-interest money, Kurt supports living wages, stronger unions, housing stability, the New York Health Act, and greater investment in mental health and addiction treatment.

Patrick Burke — Assembly District 142

Patrick Burke is a South Buffalo native running for reelection to represent New York’s 142nd Assembly District.

After serving as an Erie County legislator, Pat was elected to the State Assembly to continue advocating for his constituents and his community in Albany. Pat’s campaign is rooted in his commitment to Western New York, its people, and the environment, and his goal of making the region a better place for his family and everyone who calls it home.

Adam Bojak — Assembly District 149

Adam Bojak is a Family Court and housing-rights attorney who has spent nearly a decade representing everyday Western New Yorkers. Now, he’s running to bring a working-class, democratic socialist vision to Albany.

Adam is running for a “healthy, housed and affordable Western New York” with a platform that includes stronger tenant protections and social housing, the New York Health Act, universal childcare, stronger labor rights, public ownership of utilities, and a moratorium on data center construction. His campaign rejects developer and corporate money and is powered by working people.

Building Progressive Power Across New York

These candidates represent the kind of leadership Our Revolution is working to elect across the country: leaders rooted in their communities who are ready to take on powerful interests and fight for working people.

This November, we have an opportunity to build progressive power in Albany and elect champions who will fight for affordable housing and healthcare, workers and unions, strong public services, and communities where working families can thrive.

Our Revolution is proud to stand with Eli Northrup, Maurice Brown, Kurtis VanWuyckhuyse, Patrick Burke, and Adam Bojak for New York State Assembly.

Let’s finish the job in November.

Progressive Slate for New York State Assembly PART 1

 

New York progressives are heading into November ready to build power in Albany.

Our Revolution is proud to endorse a slate of candidates for New York State Assembly who are taking on the status quo and fighting for working people — from Queens and Brooklyn to Manhattan and Western New York.

These candidates are organizers, advocates, working parents, attorneys, and community leaders running on the issues New Yorkers feel every day: housing, affordability, healthcare, childcare, workers’ rights, immigrant protections, and making government work for ordinary people.

Meet Our Revolution’s New York Assembly slate:

Samantha Kattan — Assembly District 37

Samantha Kattan is a working parent, longtime tenant organizer, daughter of Mexican and Syrian immigrants, and democratic socialist running to represent Long Island City, Maspeth, Ridgewood, Sunnyside, and Woodside.

Through her work organizing tenants, Samantha says she has seen both the housing conditions New Yorkers are forced to endure and the power people have when they organize together. She is running on social housing, stronger tenant protections, universal healthcare, free childcare, immigrant rights, and greener, healthier neighborhoods.

David Orkin — Assembly District 38

David Orkin is an immigrant workers’ rights attorney, union organizer, and democratic socialist running in Queens.

David has dedicated his career to defending workers and immigrants, and he’s running to take that fight to Albany. His campaign is focused on taxing the rich to fund childcare, housing, transit, and healthcare; protecting immigrant communities from ICE; and strengthening labor protections so workers can organize, earn fair wages, and hold employers accountable. His campaign also rejects corporate lobby, fossil fuel, and real estate money.

Christian Celeste Tate — Assembly District 54

Christian Celeste Tate is a community organizer and democratic socialist running to represent Bushwick and parts of East New York, including Cypress Hills and City Line.

Christian is running to build what her campaign calls a city where everyone has access to housing, healthcare, safety, and dignity. Her platform puts fighting displacement and keeping people in their homes at the center of the campaign, and she rejects corporate, fossil-fuel, and real-estate money.

Eon Huntley — Assembly District 56

Eon Huntley is an organizer running to represent Brooklyn’s 56th Assembly District on a campaign built around putting people over profit.

His campaign emphasizes organizing, coalition-building, direct action, and housing justice. Eon also pledges to reject corporate donations, including money from real estate interests, as he works to build a grassroots movement for working people in Brooklyn.

Illapa Sairitupac — Assembly District 65

Illapa Sairitupac is a tenant organizer and anti-ICE activist running to represent Lower Manhattan.

Illapa says New York is becoming unaffordable for everyone but the wealthy, and he’s running to make New York more affordable for working people, defend renters, and stand up to ICE. His campaign is rooted in the working-class and immigrant communities of Chinatown and the Lower East Side and the belief that the people who built these neighborhoods should be able to afford to remain in them.

David Siffert — Assembly District 66

David Siffert is an NYU School of Law professor seeking to represent lower Manhattan and become the first non-binary member of the NY state legislature.

After several years in private practice, David returned to NYU Law to serve as the director of research and projects at the school’s Center on Civil Justice – an initiative that advocates for more efficient procedures in local and federal courts and broader access to legal services for all Americans. Their campaign is rooted in issues like affordable housing, immigrants’ rights, and artificial intelligence regulation. 

Building Progressive Power in Albany

These races represent what Our Revolution has always been about: building progressive power from the ground up.

From tenant organizers and union organizers to public defenders and community advocates, these candidates are taking the fights happening in their neighborhoods directly to Albany.

This November, we have an opportunity to elect a new generation of progressive leaders who will fight for working people and help build a stronger progressive bloc in the New York State Assembly.

Our Revolution is proud to stand with Samantha Kattan, David Orkin, Christian Celeste Tate, Eon Huntley, Illapa Sairitupac, and David Siffert. 

When we organize, we win.

Progressives for Illinois State Senate

By ALL, Endorsement, IL

Progressives for Illinois State Senate

 

Our Revolution is proud to endorse Marsie Geldert-Murphey in Illinois Senate District 56 and Ben McAdams in Senate District 24 — two candidates ready to bring new leadership to Springfield and fight for an Illinois where working families can afford to live, thrive, and build a future.

Marsie Geldert-Murphey — Senate District 56

Marsie Geldert-Murphey is a builder — literally.

A civil engineer with more than 30 years of experience, Marsie has spent her career building the roads, bridges, and infrastructure communities depend on. Now, this political newcomer wants to put that experience to work building a stronger future for downstate Illinois.

Marsie understands that investing in infrastructure means creating good jobs and expanding economic opportunity. She wants smart, inclusive growth that allows young people to stay and succeed in their communities — while strengthening public schools, early childhood education, and school nutrition programs.

She’s also committed to protecting access to healthcare, including fighting for robust Medicaid funding and strengthening the healthcare workforce so families, seniors, children, and people with disabilities can get the care they need.

Marsie believes real change starts in our communities — by listening, bringing people together, and putting people and progress at the center of public policy.

Our Revolution is proud to endorse Marsie Geldert-Murphey for Illinois Senate District 56.

Ben McAdams — Senate District 24

Ben McAdams is running with a bold progressive vision: healthcare and housing should be rights, working families deserve an economy that works for them, and corporations and the ultra-wealthy should pay their fair share.

A lifelong Illinois resident, Ben got his start in local activism and community organizing before studying public interest law and working with legal nonprofits to help people who couldn’t afford representation.

Ben believes healthcare is a human right and wants Illinois to invest in public healthcare, protect reproductive and mental healthcare, and defend communities from Medicaid cuts.

He also wants to shift the tax burden off working and middle-class families by making corporations and the ultra-wealthy pay more — including through a billionaire wealth tax, closing corporate tax loopholes, and taxing digital advertising by Big Tech.

On climate, Ben supports public investment toward a 100% green energy economy, regulating AI and data centers, and making polluters pay. He’s also committed to protecting immigrants from ICE overreach, defending LGBTQ+ rights and voting rights, and ensuring due process for everyone.

From affordable healthcare and good-paying jobs to climate action and economic justice, Ben is running to build an Illinois that works for everyday people — not just those with the most wealth and power.

Marsie and Ben bring different experiences to this fight, but they share a commitment to building an Illinois where government delivers for working people.

Aber Kawas for NY State Senate SD-12

By ALL, Endorsement, NY

Aber Kawas for NY State Senate (SD-12)

 

Our Revolution is proud to endorse Aber Kawas for New York State Senate District 12 — a community organizer and democratic socialist who has spent more than 15 years fighting alongside working-class New Yorkers.

The daughter of Palestinian refugees and raised in a working-class New York City family, Aber’s politics are deeply rooted in her own experience.

When she was young, her father was detained by ICE and deported. Her family struggled to make ends meet while he was detained — an experience Aber says shaped her commitment to building power for poor and working people.

And she has spent years putting that commitment into action.

Aber has organized in the Fight for $15, fought police surveillance and harassment, worked for immigration reform, and helped develop and launch the Not On Our Dime campaign. Now, she’s running to bring that organizing experience to Albany.

Fighting for Working Families in Queens

Aber is running on a bold platform centered on making New York affordable and ensuring working people can live with dignity.

She supports passing the New York Health Act to provide comprehensive healthcare to every New Yorker, creating tens of thousands of permanently affordable, union-built social housing units, strengthening tenant protections, and making MTA buses fast and free.

She also wants to tax the rich to fund public services, expand public renewable energy, create union jobs, protect immigrant communities from ICE, and invest in the infrastructure working families depend on.

And Aber is running the same way she has organized throughout her career: from the grassroots up. Her campaign says it is powered by working people, not corporations or billionaires.

Building Progressive Power in Albany

Aber is running to represent communities across Queens, including parts of Astoria, Sunnyside, Woodside, Ridgewood, Maspeth, Long Island City, Elmhurst, Glendale, and Jackson Heights.

Her campaign represents exactly the kind of progressive pipeline Our Revolution is working to build across the country: grassroots organizers taking the fights happening in their communities directly into the halls of power.

This November, Queens has an opportunity to send a working-class organizer to Albany who will fight for affordable housing, healthcare for all, workers, immigrants, climate action, and a government that puts people before corporations and billionaires.

Our Revolution is proud to endorse Aber Kawas for New York State Senate District 12.

When we organize, we win.

Progressives Building Local Power Across California

 

Our Revolution is proud to endorse a new slate of candidates fighting to build people-powered government from the ground up across California.

From county government and city councils to school boards and the local agencies that manage essential public resources, these races are where decisions that directly shape people’s lives get made. And they’re exactly where our movement needs strong, accountable leaders ready to put working people and their communities first.

Flo Cofer — Sacramento County Supervisor, District 1

Our Revolution is excited to endorse Dr. Flojaune “Flo” Cofer for Sacramento County Supervisor, District 1.

Flo is an epidemiologist, policy leader, and longtime community advocate running to bring bold, people-centered leadership to county government. Her campaign is 100% corporate-free, rejecting contributions from corporate PACs, law-enforcement unions, real-estate interests, and the fossil-fuel industry.

Her platform brings together economic, housing, health, labor, and climate justice under three powerful priorities: Protect Our People. Keep People Housed. Green Jobs, Good Pay.

Flo is fighting to prevent evictions and displacement, expand affordable and supportive housing, strengthen behavioral health care, protect immigrant communities, defend workers’ right to organize, and create union jobs through a just transition to clean energy. She supports CalCare single-payer healthcare, a local public banking strategy, stronger protections against privatization, and participatory budgeting that gives residents a greater voice in how public dollars are spent.

She’s also calling for a halt to the unchecked expansion of AI data centers unless strong protections are in place for workers, water, energy, the environment, and surrounding communities.

Flo understands that county government shouldn’t simply manage crises — it should solve problems, protect people, and create the conditions for everyone to thrive.

Marisol Rubio — San Ramon City Council, District 4

Our Revolution is proud to endorse Marisol Rubio for San Ramon City Council, District 4.

Local government has enormous power over the affordability, sustainability, and quality of life of our communities. Marisol represents the kind of people-powered leadership our movement is working to strengthen in cities across California.

We’re proud to stand with her as she fights to keep District 4 moving forward and ensure working people have a strong voice in San Ramon City Hall.

Conan Moats — Diablo Water District, Ward 2

Our Revolution is proud to endorse Conan Moats for Diablo Water District, Ward 2.

Water is a public resource — and the people making decisions about its future matter.

As corporations and major new developments place growing demands on California’s water and infrastructure, communities deserve leaders who will put residents and responsible stewardship at the center of those decisions.

That’s why we’re proud to support Conan and the fight for accountable, community-centered leadership at the Diablo Water District.

Brandon Dawkins — Antioch Unified School District Board, Trustee Area 5

Our Revolution is proud to endorse Brandon Dawkins for Antioch Unified School District Board, Trustee Area 5.

Strong public schools are the foundation of strong communities, and school-board elections are a critical part of building progressive power from the bottom up.

Brandon is running under a simple but important vision: “Whole Student, Whole Community.”

We’re proud to stand with Brandon and his campaign to bring a community-centered voice to the Antioch school board.

Building Progressive Power From the Ground Up

These may be local races, but their impact is anything but small.

For ten years, Our Revolution has worked to build a progressive pipeline from the grassroots up — supporting movement leaders who are ready to serve their communities, challenge entrenched power, and make government work for working people.

That’s how lasting political change happens: school board by school board, city council by city council, county by county.

This November, let’s keep building that power across California.

When we organize, we win.

Estuardo Mazariegos for LA City Council D-9

By ALL, CA, Endorsement

Estuardo Mazariegos for LA City Council D-9

 

Our Revolution is proud to endorse Estuardo Mazariegos for Los Angeles City Council District 9.

Estuardo has spent nearly two decades organizing alongside working families in South Los Angeles. Now, he’s running to take that fight to City Hall.

A father, immigrant and longtime community organizer, Mazariegos came to Los Angeles as a child after his family fled political violence in Guatemala. Today, he serves as Co-Director of the Alliance of Californians for Community Empowerment (ACCE), where he has helped turn neighborhood organizing into citywide victories for tenants and working families.

His campaign points to a record that includes helping lead the fights for Los Angeles’ Tenant Anti-Harassment Ordinance and Resident Protection Ordinance and helping pass Measure ULA, which raises revenue for affordable housing and homelessness programs.

That organizing background is at the heart of his campaign for City Council.

Mazariegos is running on a platform to lower rents, strengthen tenant protections, expand social housing, raise wages and improve basic city services. He also supports making buses free, expanding protected bike and bus lanes, investing in community-based violence prevention and mental-health care, and strengthening police accountability.

His campaign puts immigrant rights front and center, calling for legal representation and due process regardless of immigration status, stronger access to city services and greater economic protections for immigrant families. And he has laid out proposals addressing environmental justice and protections for LGBTQ+ Angelenos.

Mazariegos refuses money from corporate PACs, real estate developers and police associations, instead running a grassroots campaign accountable to District 9 residents rather than wealthy or well-connected interests.

For Mazariegos, the through-line is the same one that has defined his years as an organizer: building power for the people who make Los Angeles run — workers, tenants, immigrants and families — and demanding that city government deliver for them.

Let’s send Estuardo to LA City Hall!

Torres-Walker and Wilson for Antioch City Council

By ALL, CA, Endorsement

Torres-Walker and Wilson for Antioch City Council

 

Two longtime community advocates are seeking another term on the Antioch City Council this November: Tamisha Torres-Walker in District 1 and Monica Wilson in District 4.

Both have powerful progressive records on the issues — affordable housing, tenant protections, police accountability, community-based public safety, mental-health services and support for working families.

Tamisha Torres-Walker — District 1

Tamisha Torres-Walker is a mother, grandmother, community organizer and advocate who has represented District 1 since 2020.

She helped secure $3.9 million for community-based gun-violence prevention and intervention, supporting a mobile mental-health crisis response team and Antioch’s first civilian police oversight body.

On housing, she has fought for rent stabilization and stronger tenant protections. She has also backed efforts to stop oil and gas drilling and shut down a gas pipeline running through the community.

In another term, Tamisha would continue expanding youth and violence-prevention programs, protecting renters, creating pathways to affordable homeownership, addressing homelessness, strengthening police accountability and bringing good jobs to Antioch.

Monica Wilson — District 4

Monica Wilson made history as the first African American woman elected to the Antioch City Council. Now in her fourth term, she brings more than two decades of experience as a community organizer, nonprofit leader and public servant.

Monica has worked on police reform and accountability, expanding mental-health crisis response, homelessness and neighborhood safety. She has been a longtime advocate against human trafficking, working with Love Never Fails on services for survivors and alongside the Contra Costa County District Attorney’s Office on efforts to establish the county’s Human Trafficking Task Force.

Her campaign is focused on strengthening neighborhoods, supporting families and building a more resilient local economy — with an emphasis on transparent, accountable local government that delivers for Antioch residents.

Let’s re-elect these two amazing progressives to the Antioch City Council. Vote on November 3!

Jocelyn “Joz” Sida for Mayor of Fontana

By ALL, CA, Endorsement

Jocelyn “Joz” Sida for Mayor of Fontana

 

Our Revolution is proud to endorse Jocelyn “Joz” Sida for Mayor of Fontana — a longtime grassroots organizer and environmental justice leader running to put working families ahead of corporate interests at City Hall.

Joz has called Fontana home since she was 14. A proud daughter of immigrants, she has spent more than 15 years organizing for equity, justice, and opportunity — from neighborhoods in the Inland Empire to campaigns across the country.

Her organizing résumé runs deep. Joz has served as the first-ever Chapter Director of the Sierra Club San Gorgonio Chapter, National Field Director for Progressive Turnout Project and Corazón Latino, State Director for Mi Familia Vota in Nevada, and a National Campaigner with MoveOn.

Now, she’s bringing that experience home — with a campaign focused on shifting power back to the people of Fontana.

Clean Air Over Corporate Profits

At the center of Joz’s campaign is a fight that Fontana families know firsthand: the explosive growth of warehouses and truck traffic.

Joz is calling for a halt to warehouse expansion and pledging to push back against increased truck traffic and the air pollution that comes with it.

Her message is simple: clean air is a right, not a luxury.

Instead of building an economy around warehouses and corporations extracting wealth from the community, Joz wants Fontana to invest in small businesses, street vendors, local entrepreneurs, good jobs, and fair wages — keeping more prosperity in the community.

A Fontana Working Families Can Afford

Joz is also taking on the housing crisis.

She supports rent protections, genuinely affordable housing, and development that strengthens neighborhoods without displacing the people who already live there.

For Joz, these fights are connected. A thriving Fontana means families can afford to stay in their communities, breathe clean air, find good jobs, and count on the basic public services they deserve.

That includes clean parks and safe streets, stronger support for seniors, and more opportunities for young people. Joz wants to expand youth programs, after-school support, and leadership development so Fontana’s next generation has real pathways to thrive.

Taking On the Insider Game

Joz is also running on changing how City Hall itself works.

Her platform calls for transparent leadership, honest communication, and greater respect for public input, with residents having a meaningful voice in the decisions shaping their neighborhoods.

She is also pledging to stand up for Fontana’s immigrant families, so residents can take their children to school, access city services, and participate in their communities without fear, regardless of immigration status.

From environmental justice and affordable housing to immigrant rights and government accountability, Joz Sida is offering a people-centered vision for Fontana’s future.

She has spent her career organizing communities and building coalitions to challenge entrenched power. Now, she’s bringing that fight home.

Our Revolution is proud to endorse Jocelyn “Joz” Sida for Mayor of Fontana.

It’s time to put clean air over warehouse profits, affordable housing over developer handouts, and the people of Fontana at the center of City Hall.

When we organize, we win.

Demi Palecek for Illinois State House District 13

By ALL, Endorsement, IL

Demi Palecek for Illinois State House District 13

 

Our Revolution is proud to endorse Demi Palecek for Illinois State House District 13 — a working-class organizer, veteran, and community advocate running to take on entrenched power and make Springfield work for everyday people.

For Demi, the struggles facing working families aren’t abstract.

She started working as a teenager, washing dishes to help her family make ends meet, and later joined the military as a pathway out of poverty. Those experiences shaped a politics rooted in worker power, economic justice, and the belief that everyone deserves the security to build a good life.

And Demi has been organizing in her community long before running for office. She has organized mutual aid, stood with workers and tenants, fought for immigrant and LGBTQ+ communities, and defended transgender soldiers’ rights while serving in the Army National Guard.

Now, she’s ready to bring that fighting spirit to Springfield.

Taking on the Affordability Crisis

Demi believes housing is a human right — and she’s prepared to take on the corporate landlords and policies driving working people out of their neighborhoods.

She supports lifting Illinois’ statewide ban on rent control so communities can enact strong rent stabilization, establishing just-cause eviction protections, expanding public and permanently affordable housing, and strengthening protections for tenants.

She also understands that you can’t solve the affordability crisis without confronting economic inequality. Demi supports a living wage tied to inflation, stronger collective bargaining rights, easier pathways for workers to organize, and Project Labor Agreements that guarantee union jobs, prevailing wages, benefits, and strong safety standards on state-funded projects.

And she wants Illinois to move away from a tax system where working families shoulder too much of the burden. Demi supports progressive taxation that asks wealthy people to pay more so Illinois can invest in the public services everyone depends on.

Healthcare Is a Right

Demi is equally clear when it comes to healthcare: it should be a right, not a privilege.

She supports Medicare for All at the federal level while fighting to expand coverage in Illinois, lower prescription drug costs, strengthen community health centers, and rebuild healthcare infrastructure in working-class communities.

She’s also an unapologetic defender of reproductive freedom, supporting expanded access to abortion, contraception, fertility treatments, maternal healthcare, and other reproductive services — while protecting patients and providers from attacks coming from outside Illinois.

Building Working-Class Power

Demi’s vision for Illinois connects economic justice with climate justice.

She supports major public investment in renewable energy, green infrastructure, weatherization, and expanded public transit — investments that can tackle the climate crisis while creating good-paying union jobs. She wants polluters held accountable and clean air and water protected as basic rights.

She’s also committed to strong public schools, including universal pre-K, equitable funding, and keeping public dollars in public education rather than privatization.

Across these fights, Demi’s message is consistent: government should use its power to improve the lives of working people — not protect the profits and privilege of those already at the top.

That’s the kind of grassroots leadership Our Revolution is working to elect at every level of government.

Our Revolution is proud to endorse Demi Palecek for Illinois State House District 13.

Let’s send a working-class organizer to Springfield who knows what it means to struggle, knows how to organize, and is ready to fight for affordable housing, universal healthcare, strong unions, reproductive freedom, and an economy that puts working people first.

When we organize, we win.

Vermont Prop 3: Put Workers’ Rights in the Constitution

By ALL, Endorsement, VT

Vermont Prop 3: Put Workers’ Rights in the Constitution

 

The right to organize shouldn’t depend on who is in power. It should be a fundamental right.

That’s why Our Revolution is proud to support Vermont Proposal 3, the Workers’ Rights Amendment that would enshrine the right to organize and collectively bargain in the Vermont Constitution.

On November 3, Vermonters have the opportunity to put worker power directly into their state’s Declaration of Rights.

Proposal 3 would establish that employees have the right to organize or join a labor organization and bargain collectively over wages, hours, working conditions, and workplace safety. It would also prohibit future state laws from interfering with or diminishing those collective bargaining rights.

That matters.

For generations, unions have given working people a way to stand together and demand a voice on the job. When workers can organize collectively, they have power to negotiate with employers instead of facing them alone.

And Proposal 3 is about protecting that power for the long haul.

The amendment would prevent Vermont from adopting a so-called “right-to-work” law that undermines union agreements. Instead of leaving fundamental organizing rights vulnerable to changing political winds, Vermont voters can give those rights constitutional protection.

This is a chance to send a powerful message: working people have a fundamental right to organize for better wages, safer workplaces, and better lives.

Proposal 3 has already cleared a significant hurdle. It passed the Vermont Senate unanimously, 29–0, and won the Vermont House 125–15, sending the question directly to voters.

Now, the final decision belongs to the people of Vermont.

At Our Revolution, we believe rebuilding worker power is essential to taking on concentrated corporate wealth and creating an economy that works for everyone. Workers should have the freedom to come together, organize a union, and negotiate collectively without worrying that those rights could disappear with the next election.

Worker power is people power.

This November, Vermont can put that principle into its Constitution — and protect it for generations to come.

Let’s make the right to organize and collectively bargain a fundamental right in Vermont.

🗳️ Vote YES on Proposal 3 on November 3.

When workers organize, workers win. And when workers win, we all win.
