Izola Shaw for Montgomery County Council District 3

At a time when working families are being squeezed by rising costs and corporate influence, Our Revolution is proud to endorse Izola Shaw for Montgomery County Council District 3.

Zola is a proven progressive leader, organizer, and public servant who has spent her career fighting for working people — not the powerful.

As a Rockville City Councilmember, Izola has delivered real results: advancing affordable housing investments, championing rent stabilization, and increasing public engagement in local government.

Zola’s entry in politics began by organizing workers to win a higher minimum wage for workers in Montgomery County. Like many other federal workers, she was fired by the Trump administration last May, along with 150 of her coworkers. 

Her experience in public service goes beyond government agencies, serving on numerous county boards and task forces focused on women’s rights, social justice, voting rights and food security. 

As a commissioner on the county’s Housing Opportunities Commission, Zola helps oversee a $400 million budget to build, preserve, and provide affordable housing for tens of thousands of residents.

She has also been a leader on racial and economic justice — helping lead the passage of Montgomery County’s Racial Equity and Social Justice Act and building the infrastructure to ensure government policies serve the most vulnerable.

Izola’s campaign is grounded in the belief that government must work for everyday people — fighting for affordable housing, strong public schools, good jobs, and equitable communities.

And she’s not new to our movement.

Izola has been part of the broader progressive organizing ecosystem aligned with Our Revolution — working alongside grassroots groups, advancing racial equity, and building people-powered change in Montgomery County.

This is exactly the kind of leadership we need right now.

Izola Shaw understands that progress isn’t given — it’s won. And she has spent her career organizing, delivering, and standing up to power to make it happen.

At Our Revolution, we’re proud to stand with candidates who are rooted in the grassroots and committed to bold, people-first change.

Izola Shaw is that leader — and we’re proud to endorse her.

Wala Blegay for Congress in MD-05

By ALL, Endorsement, MD

Our Revolution is proud to endorse Wala Blegay for Congress in Maryland’s 5th District, where she is running to bring bold progressive leadership to the seat long held by establishment figure Steny Hoyer.

Wala is no stranger to the struggle, and she has spent her career fighting for working families and healthcare justice. As a labor rights attorney, public servant, and Prince George’s At Large County Council Member, she has fought to expand economic opportunity, protect workers, and strengthen public services.

And, she served as a Maryland state delegate for Bernie Sanders at the 2016 Democratic National Convention, helping advance the political revolution that energized millions of Americans demanding a government that works for the many, not the few.

Blegay has built her career standing up for communities too often ignored by the political establishment.

Her leadership reflects the values that Our Revolution supporters organize around every day: economic justice, healthcare for all, strong public education, and real accountability for corporations and political elites.

Now she’s running for Congress to give Maryland’s 5th District the representation it deserves, offering voters a clear choice: more status quo politics that prioritize corporate power, or a bold progressive vision centered on working people.

Blegay’s campaign is rooted in the belief that our democracy works best when everyday people — not corporate lobbyists and big donors — have a seat at the table. She understands that families are facing rising costs and barriers to opportunity, and she’s committed to fighting for policies that deliver real relief and long-term change.

At a time when our democracy is under threat and working families are struggling to make ends meet, we need leaders who will challenge entrenched power and stand unapologetically with the people.

Wala Blegay is that leader.

Our Revolution is proud to support her campaign and the grassroots movement behind it.

Together, we can elect a new generation of progressive leadership and continue building the political revolution that Bernie Sanders inspired — one that puts people over profit and delivers for the many, not the few. ✊

When we organize, we win,

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!
