NEWS FROM THE POLITICAL REVOLUTION
|
|
|
More than 7 million of us turned out for
No Kings Day
— the largest protest in American history!
The world was watching and we sent a message loud and clear:
the American people reject Trump, his corrupt regime, and his cruel agenda.
Trump’s authoritarianism is reaching a fever pitch as he deploys troops into city after city, terrorizes communities with ICE, and targets political opponents with lawfare.
Now is the time to turn this energy into action — which is why
Our Revolution is scaling up our Citizen Action Team
to organize more pressure campaigns and mobilize voter turnout for key races like
Zohran Mamdani
for NYC mayor.

“Trump isn’t just trying to rule like a king — he’s fusing corporate power with state power to entrench an oligarchy,” Our Revolution leader
Joseph Geevarghese
said in
Amsterdam News
. “From the shop floor to city hall, working people are organizing to reclaim our democracy.”
As Trump takes healthcare and food assistance from working-class families, he’s brazenly enriching himself with crypto schemes and handing out billions to his cronies.
“We know what democracy looks like and we know what it means to fight oligarchs,” Our Revolution Chair
Larry Cohen
spoke to thousands at No Kings in Maryland. “The
oligarchs
think
they
can just buy everything in our country, but we’re not for sale!”
|
Our activists are on the streets every week — showing up on
billionaires' doorsteps in the
Hamptons
, confronting oligarchs like
Peter Thiel in San Francisco
, bird-dogging politicians on
Capitol Hill
, and rallying against deportation contractors like
Avelo Airlines
.
We have to fight on every front. That’s why
Our Revolution
is focused on building grassroots power to
Fight Trump & the Oligarchs
with our targeted
3 Point Strategy:
-
Fight Trump’s Oligarch Agenda
- from Capitol Hill to City Halls
-
Elect Anti-Oligarch Champions
up and down the ballot
-
Get Oligarch Money out of Politics
and uplift the grassroots

Last night, Our Revolution Executive Director
Joseph Geevarghese
delivered closing remarks at the
CSU Law Review’s 2025 Symposium: “Stress Fractures in Democracy and The People’s Response.”
He spoke powerfully about how grassroots movements are the key to defending democracy, confronting oligarchic power, and empowering ordinary people to reclaim our government.
“We’re in a struggle between citizens and oligarchs — between those who would preserve our democracy and those who would plunder it,”
he said. “The verdict in
Citizens v. Oligarchs
will be written by what
We the People
choose to do next.”

Today, Our Revolution and our allies are rallying at the State House in Annapolis to demand that
Governor Wes Moore stop ICE flights out of Maryland
.
Avelo Airlines
, which quietly signed a contract with ICE to run deportation flights, is now operating out of
Maryland’s BWI Airport
— turning a public facility into a launchpad for tearing families apart.
Because the airport is state-owned, Gov. Moore has the power to end this partnership, and
Our Revolution is helping lead a statewide coalition
to make it clear: Maryland must not be complicit in Trump’s deportation machine.
Our Revolution Executive Director
Joseph Geevarghese
will speak at the statewide rally — alongside partner groups with Indivisible.
Sign the petition and join us in the fight

After Our Revolution organized
nationwide protests
against Palantir, we showed up every Monday for four weeks to protest outside Peter Thiel’s bizarre ‘Antichrist’ book readings in San Francisco.
Peter Thiel
, the Big Tech Oligarch behind Palantir, keeps cashing taxpayer checks to build tools of surveillance and war.
It’s time to shine a light on
Palantir’s shadowy operations:
aiding ICE’s real-time immigrant tracking, enabling deadly targeting in Gaza, and using its tech to spy on us all.
|
From Wall Street to the Hamptons, we’re making it clear:
Oligarchs can't hide
.
Our Revolution activists marched down Billionaires Lane — right past the mansions of Trump and Cuomo’s oligarch donors to send a message: the people are fighting back.
“The ultra rich should not be able to run away from the people they are impacting with their political decisions,” Our Revolution organizer
Vincent Vertuccio
told
Newsday
.
This is people power vs. oligarchy — and we’re not backing down.
Our activists are taking the fight to oligarchs’ doorsteps and our organizers are knocking doors to get out the vote for candidates who will challenge their power.

With just over a week until election day, Trump continues to meddle in the NYC mayor’s race and billionaires are pouring in cash to try to stop
Zohran Mamdani
— yet Democratic leaders still refuse to back their party’s nominee.
That’s why Our Revolution organizers went straight to Capitol Hill to
deliver 80,000 signatures
to the offices of House Minority Leader
Hakeem Jeffries
and Senate Minority Leader
Chuck Schumer
.
|
Meanwhile,
our organizers will be joining
Bernie Sanders, AOC, and Zohran
for a massive rally that will fill up the Forest Hills Stadium in Queens tomorrow. We’ll be signing folks up to help with GOTV in this homestretch to Election Day!
The pressure is on and we won’t let up until we
get Zohran across the finish line
to fight for affordable housing, groceries, and transportation for New Yorkers.
|
Our Revolution organizers have been
pounding the pavement across all Five Boroughs
: mobilizing votes on the streets, in the subways, and in key neighborhoods we need to win this race.
But no matter where you are in the country, you can be part of our voter turnout operation for Zohran Mamdani. Join us to
make calls to NYC voters Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays
through Election Day!
|
Mamdani isn’t the only progressive on the ballot on
Election Day November 4th
. Our Revolution is backing dozens of candidates in key races across the country!
|
Time to get out the vote in New Jersey! Our Revolution is backing an
exciting slate in Jersey City
to grow our progressive footprint in the Garden State:
James Solomon
is running an exciting campaign for Mayor; joined by At-Large candidates:
Mamta Singh
,
Michael Griffin
, and
Roland Lavarro
; and City Council candidates:
Denise Ridley
in Ward A,
Lorena Loayza
in Ward B;
Dawn Giabalvo
in Ward C;
Veronica Akaezuwa
in Ward D; and
Eleana Little
in Ward E.
|
We’re putting our endorsement behind three
great candidates in
Dayton, Ohio
, where progressives are building local power:
Shenise Turner-Sloss
for Mayor,
Darryl Fairchild
for re-election as City Commissioner, and
Jacob Davis
for City Commissioner.
|
We have a great line up of candidates in Pennsylvania — and just 10 days left to get out the vote!
Our Revolution is proud to support
Dylan Altemara
for PA State House District 39,
Rich Forsman
for Camp Hill Borough Council,
Kyle McIntyre
for Upper Darby Township Council, and
Nicki Williams
for Judge of Elections in District 2-1.
We’re also endorsing four progressives for Conestoga Valley School District:
Suze Louis, Sarah E. Kern, Melissa Clinton, and Tim Shea
.
|
This is what Our Revolution was built for:
electing bold progressives at every level of government who will challenge the status quo and put people over profit. Let’s show what grassroots power can do.

Adelita Grijalva
won a major victory in Arizona’s 7th District — carrying the legacy of her late father Rep.
Raul Grijalva
in the seat to become the newest member of the Congressional Progressive Caucus.
But now House Speaker Mike Johnson is refusing to swear Adelita into office — all to block her from being the 218th vote forcing release of the
Epstein files
.
This isn’t bureaucracy. It’s a COVER-UP.
Demand Speaker Johnson swear in Adelita Grijalva NOW!

Last week, Our Revolution hosted a
Live California Organizing Call with U.S. Rep
Ro Khanna
to rally support for
Prop 50 - the Election Rigging Response Act.
Thousands of activists joined from across the state and around the country to strategize against Trump’s authoritarian agenda, organize resistance to ICE raids, and mobilize for fair elections.
Other inspiring speakers included
Assemblyman Ash Kalra, actor and Burbank Councilman Konstantine Anthony, activist Alfred Twu, and labor leader Amy Scott-Slovick
— lifting up the fight for workers’ rights, immigrant protections, and democracy rooted in people power — not oligarchs.
Together, we’re building the grassroots momentum to
pass Prop 50 and prove that when we organize, we win.

|
Together, we’re building a massive nationwide coalition to fight back and prove that
people power — not oligarchs — will decide the future of our democracy.
That’s why
Our Revolution’s Citizen Action Team (CAT)
is organizing volunteers across the country to pressure Congress, mobilize voters, and push bold progressive policies that put people before profit.
|
Coming off the massive No Kings events last weekend, we want to offer up some of our crowd-favorite
Defund Oligarchy Merch
at a special price.
Whether it’s a new black tee-shirt or some No Kings buttons, every purchase helps support our organizers and get voters to the polls for
Zohran Mamdani
and progressive candidates coast to coast.
