Progressive Justice Wins in Virginia: Our Revolution Celebrates Joshua Cole

By ALL, 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.

With this win, Josh will continue fighting to defend democracy, protect workers, and advance racial and economic justice from the ground up. His leadership represents what Our Revolution was built for: bold, principled candidates who put people first and hold power accountable.

💪 When We Organize, We Win

Congratulations, Delegate Joshua Cole! This victory proves once again that grassroots organizing beats big money every time.

Our Revolution is proud to stand with Josh and all the movement leaders turning people power into policy. Now, we’re organizing to make sure these victories translate into real, lasting change for the people of Virginia and beyond.

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

By ALL, Endorsement, Homepage Slot 1, NY 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 ALL, 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 ALL, Endorsement, NJ

Congrats to the new Mayor of Jersey City — James Solomon — on his victory in tonight’s runoff election!

The people of Jersey City made their voices heard, choosing bold, progressive leadership for their city’s future. Our Revolution is proud to celebrate this grassroots-powered win.

Principled, independent, and unafraid to challenge entrenched interests, James Solomon has built a reputation as a champion for working families. As Ward E Councilperson, he consistently stood on the side of the people.

During his time on the council, James led the fight for:

  • Affordable housing and strong renter protections
  • Expanded public transit and a more sustainable, walkable city
  • Transparency and ethics reform in local government
  • Policies that prioritize residents over wealthy developers

Tonight’s victory is a testament not only to James’s tireless work, but to the power of grassroots organizing. This is a win for the people — and a win for a more just, more accountable Jersey City.

We look forward to working alongside Mayor-elect Solomon to advance bold solutions for housing justice, workers’ rights, climate resilience, and true democratic reform.

When we organize, we win!

Dayton Deserves Bold Progressive Leadership

By ALL, 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.

Historic Win in Arizona: Our Revolution Celebrates Adelita Grijalva

By ALL, AZ, Endorsement

We’re thrilled to congratulate Adelita Grijalva on her decisive win in Arizona’s 7th Congressional District.

Why This Victory Matters

A Legacy Rooted in Service
Adelita is not new to public service — she’s a lifelong Tucson community leader. From two decades serving on the Tucson Unified School District Board to her term on the Pima County Board of Supervisors — including a term as the first Latina Board Chair — Adelita has consistently delivered on affordable housing, climate resilience, relentless education investment, and public safety.

Upholding a Family’s Progressive Legacy
She is succeeding her father, Rep. Raúl Grijalva, a legendary progressive force in Southern Arizona. Adelita’s win ensures the continuation of a values-driven, people-centered approach to representation. As she celebrated in her victory speech, “This is a victory not for me, but for our community and the progressive movement my dad started in Southern Arizona more than 50 years ago.”

A Movement Unites Behind Her
Adelita’s campaign drew broad support across the progressive spectrum — including endorsements from Senator Bernie Sanders, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Emily’s List, and the Working Families Party. Through grassroots grassroots efforts — 39,000 door knocks, 1,400 volunteers, and a vibrant “movimiento” — Adelita’s campaign embodied people-powered politics.

A Strong Road Ahead
Adelita is the first Latina from Arizona to serve in Congress, This victory is a powerful reminder of what community-organized, progressive leadership can achieve. Congratulations, Adelita Grijalva — and onward to Congress!

When we organize, we win.

Progressive Justice Wins in Virginia: Our Revolution Celebrates Joshua Cole

By ALL, Endorsement, VA

Our Revolution is thrilled to congratulate Delegate Joshua Cole on his re-election to Virginia’s House of Delegates, representing District 65! Cole’s victory marks another triumph for grassroots-led progressives in the Commonwealth.

Why This Win Matters

Josh Cole is not just a name on the ballot — he’s a proven progressive champion. Raised in Fredericksburg and serving as a pastor, he’s deeply rooted in the communities he represents and has delivered real results on the issues that matter most.

  • Defending Reproductive Rights: Cole chaired the subcommittee on constitutional amendments, passing H.J. 1, which enshrines the right to personal reproductive decisions — including abortion, contraception, and prenatal care — as a constitutional amendment. This victory lays the groundwork for a critical ballot initiative next year.
  • Tackling Money in Politics: His HB 2165, which bans the use of campaign funds for personal expenses, passed both chambers—an important step toward reducing corruption in Virginia politics.
  • First-Gen, Grassroots Power: In 2023, Josh became one of the youngest and first Black delegates elected from the Fredericksburg region — and he earned that seat back in 2025 with a renewed mandate

A Larger Fight, A Deeper Movement

Cole’s win is part of a broader wave of progressive representation emerging across Virginia. His victory adds momentum to the expanding majority Democrats now hold in the House of Delegates — a critical base for advancing equity, justice, and democracy.

Josh’s leadership exemplifies what Our Revolution was built for: bold, people-centered candidates who lift up working families and hold power to account.

Congratulations, Delegate Joshua Cole! When we organize, we win. Stay tuned — we’re organizing to ensure Josh’s re-election victory translates into deep, lasting policies for the people of District 65.

Victory: Aisha Braveboy

By ALL, 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 ALL, 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.

TROY JACKSON FOR GOVERNOR MAINE

By ALL, Endorsement, ME, Uncategorized

We’re proud to announce that Our Revolution is endorsing Troy Jackson for Governor of Maine.

Troy isn’t your typical politician—he’s a logger, union leader, and lifelong fighter for working people. Raised in the North Woods of Maine, Troy knows firsthand the struggles rural Mainers face because he’s lived them. He’s stood shoulder to shoulder with workers on the picket line and never backed down from the corporate elites and political insiders who try to block progress.

As President of the Maine Senate, Troy has delivered real results: expanding access to health care, lowering prescription drug prices, fighting for paid family leave, and protecting collective bargaining rights. He’s helped make Maine a leader on climate jobs and renewable energy, while always putting working families—not wealthy donors—first.

That’s why Senator Bernie Sanders is endorsing Troy, too.

“Troy knows what’s going on with the working class of Maine because he’s part of that working class,” Bernie said. “We need candidates who, unequivocally, will stand with working-class families against the enormous power of the monied interests.”

With Trump and the billionaire class trying to tighten their grip on power, we need governors like Troy Jackson—leaders who aren’t bought, who won’t sell out, and who are ready to fight for the rest of us.

Together, we can elect a governor who works for the people—not the powerful.
