Stand With Bernie: Get Oligarch Money OUT of Politics

By Homepage Slot 3, Take Action No Comments

A jaw-dropping new report reveals the truth: just 20 billionaire donors flooded our political system with nearly $5 BILLION between 2015 and 2024. These ultra-rich powerbrokers are quite literally buying our democracy – and we HAVE to do something to stop it.

TAKE ACTION: Call on Democratic Party leaders to ban Oligarch money from the 2026 primaries and beyond.

Bernie Sanders is sounding the alarm, saying we must overturn Citizens United and replace billionaire-funded elections with public financing. And while that’s the long-game, there’s also something we can do TODAY: get dark money OUT of Democratic primaries to stop billionaires from rigging our elections. 

We already won a DNC resolution to ban dark money from the 2028 presidential primary – but we’re not done yet.

Add your name now to demand Democratic Party leaders in every single state BAN Dark Money from Democratic primaries starting in 2026!

Across the country, billionaire PACs, anonymous Super PACs, and shadowy front groups are spending MILLIONS to defeat progressives in local primaries. We saw it with Mamdani and SO many other races.

But here’s the secret the media won’t tell you: the Democratic Party’s state and county officials hold the real power over primary rules. Across all 50 states, party officials act as the gatekeepers – choosing whether to open the door to billionaire money or to shut it tight.

That’s why we need Democratic officials in every state and county to say they won’t allow dark money spending in the 2026 primaries. So right now we’re mobilizing our Citizen Action Team state by state, city by city to make it happen. 

Our movement already won a huge step forward when, earlier this year, we pushed the Democratic National Committee to pass a resolution to get Dark Money out for the 2028 presidential primary. And now it’s our job to make every state and county do the same for 2026.

Our Revolution organizers are already on the ground – mobilizing volunteers, gathering signatures, and presenting petitions to party leaders. In several states, grassroots pressure is already starting to move the needle. Now, we’re ramping up nationwide.

Add your name now to demand a ban on Dark Money in ALL Democratic primaries in 2026. Let’s finish what we started and win a Democratic Party that belongs to US – not the billionaire class.

Every name counts. The more supporters we have in each state, the stronger our demands. When you sign, your name joins a growing list that we’ll put directly in front of local party officials – showing them this is a movement they cannot ignore.

When we organize, we win,

Our Revolution

BREAKING: Our Revolution Pushes DNC to End Dark Money in Primaries

By Homepage, Homepage Slot 3

VICTORY! We just won a major milestone in the fight to get Big Money out of politics. The DNC voted Wednesday to finally crack down on dark money in presidential primaries.

“Blocking corporate money in the nominating process and blocking dark money — those are two great steps,” Our Rev Chair Larry Cohen told Common Dreams.

“New progressive candidates have been blocked by the onslaught of money from crypto, fossil fuel and an endless parade of corporate spending, as well as AIPAC and other right-wing groups and Republican billionaires,” Our Revolution Chair Larry Cohen wrote in an op-ed in The Nation.

“This resolution is about putting power back where it belongs — in the hands of voters, not corporate elites,” said Our Revolution leader Joseph Geevarghese. “This victory belongs to the grassroots.”

This comes after 10 years organizing, electing progressives into the party structure, and keeping up grassroots pressure — we delivered 13,000+ petitions just this week to the DNC.

Now the hard work begins: making sure these reforms are enforced for 2028 and beyond. For too long, Super PACs and billionaires have drowned out grassroots voices.

Our Revolution will keep leading the charge to get AIPAC, crypto, and other dark money out of the party — and we won’t stop until primaries belong to the people. Donate $5, $10, or $27 to fuel the next phase of this fight.
