By Endorsement, MI

Victory in Kalamazoo! We are proud to celebrate the election of Our Revolution member Drew Duncan to the Kalamazoo City Commission — a major win for grassroots progressives and working families across Michigan.

✊ A Champion for People and Justice

Drew isn’t just talking about progressive change — he’s delivering it. As a longtime 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. His victory proves that when we organize around bold ideas, people power wins.

Fighting for Affordable Housing: Drew has led the charge for housing justice — helping secure a new low-barrier shelter now under construction, fighting for zoning reform, and advancing tenant protections so 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, violence prevention, and neighborhood investment that strengthen trust and keep communities safe.

Growing a Fairer Economy: Drew is committed to building a fair economy that serves everyone — supporting small businesses, creating good jobs, and ensuring investments reach historically underserved neighborhoods.

A Greener, Healthier Kalamazoo: A proven climate advocate, Drew is expanding clean energy, green infrastructure, and protecting natural spaces — guided by science and community voices every step of the way.

🌹 A Movement for the Many

Drew’s victory is a win for working people and a clear rejection of corporate greed and status-quo politics. Our Revolution members made calls and organized across Kalamazoo to help power this grassroots victory — showing once again that democracy works best when everyday people lead.

This is what Our Revolution was built for: electing bold progressives at every level of government who will challenge entrenched power and fight for the people.

💪 When We Organize, We Win

Congratulations, Commissioner Drew Duncan! Kalamazoo has a leader who will keep fighting for affordable housing, environmental justice, and a fair economy for all.

Together, let’s keep building momentum — because when we organize, we win.

Progressive Justice Wins in Virginia: Our Revolution Celebrates Joshua Cole

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.

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 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

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 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.

Victory for Justice: Our Revolution Celebrates Larry Krasner’s Win

By Endorsement, PA

We’re proud to celebrate the re-election of Larry Krasner as Philadelphia’s District Attorney. The progressive hero secured his third Democratic primary win, winning over 60% of the vote and all but ensuring another four years of reform-focused leadership.

Why This Win Matters

Since taking office in 2018, Krasner has consistently used his position to pursue justice—not prosecution:

  • Fewer incarcerations, safer communities: Under his leadership, Philadelphia’s jail population has been slashed nearly in half, while crime rates continue to fall.
  • Prosecutorial reform in action: Krasner’s office has eliminated cash bail for many nonviolent offenses, dropped minor felony charges like marijuana possession, and aggressively prosecuted police misconduct.
  • Accountability through innovation: His DA’s office created a Conviction Integrity Unit that has exonerated dozens of innocent people. It also launched a unit to tackle quality-of-life issues—including prosecuting dumping of household waste and tires.

Standing Strong Against the Right-Wing Backlash

Krasner’s victory came despite targeted attacks from Republicans and former President Trump—and after surviving a failed impeachment attempt by state lawmakers.

His campaign drew strength from small-dollar donations and grassroots organizing. In his victory speech, Krasner proclaimed:

“They can come for Philly, but I’m not backing down.”

This Victory is a Win for Progressive Prosecution

While reform prosecutors in other cities have lost ground under conservative pressure, Krasner’s win—driven by strong support among Black voters and progressives—shows that people power still works. It’s a reminder that local organizing and community engagement can beat back authoritarian and punitive agendas.

What Comes Next?

Krasner will enter the general election unopposed—giving him the green light to keep building a more equitable, accountable justice system in Philadelphia.

This victory is a testament to all of us: when we organize, we win.

Congratulations, Larry Krasner. Keep leading the fight for real justice.

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.

A Movement Unites Behind Her

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!

Progressive Justice Wins in Virginia: Our Revolution Celebrates Joshua Cole

By 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.
