Our Revolution has launched a new Rapid Response Team — connecting progressives around the country in a network that can jump into action to resist Trump.
Sign up to get looped in and we will reach out with actions — which could include calling your reps, joining a protest, or amplifying an important information on social media.
Hundreds have already signed up — and we need you to be part of the team!
You’re not alone. The election results are devastating. This is a setback, but here’s the truth: we can’t let this defeat us.
We’re going to do everything in our power to hold Trump and his fossil fuel cronies accountable — every step of the way. We’re building a climate movement that is 365 days strong, and together, we can make a difference.
Join us on Wednesday (Nov. 13) for a special virtual event Beyond the Ballot with Jane Fonda, Our Revolution Executive Director Joseph Geevarghese, and Sunrise Movement Executive Director Aru Shiney-Ajay.
Be in good company as we break down the results and strategize our next steps to turn this moment into a powerful push for change. It’s time to turn our anger into action. Will you join us? RSVP HERE.
With Kamala Harris choosing a progressive running mate, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, many are hopeful it’s a sign that the Party is listening to the base and embracing a working class agenda.
Walz has a strong record on labor, school meals, housing, paid leave, child poverty, taxing corporations, fighting wage theft, and more — and our polling shows these are winning policies in swing states.
“Walz is an excellent pick for VP. He’s the anti-elite candidate and comes across as the Everyman,” Joseph Geevarghese, Our Revolution executive director, told The Atlantic. “This is a sign Democrats understand they cannot win against Trumpism without pushing policies that resonate with working-class voters in the Midwest and beyond.”
Our mission in 2024 is clear: Defeat Trump. The Harris/Walz ticket is coming into the DNC with a lot of energy, but we need to keep building on this momentum all the way to November.
Last week, after years of organizing, the DNC Rules & Bylaws Committee voted to extend critical reforms indefinitely, and send our proposal to DNC convention delegates in Chicago for final approval.
These reforms include reducing the power of superdelegates in the presidential nominating process, and mandating all 57 state parties adopt same-day primary voter registration and vote by mail.
The Unity Reform Commission was launched by 1,300 Bernie delegates at the 2016 convention and co-chaired by Our Revolution Chair Larry Cohen. In 2020, with the backing of over 1,000 Bernie convention delegates, we successfully extended these reforms for the 2024 cycle.
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Following President Biden’s decision not to seek the Democratic nomination, Joseph Geervarghese, Executive Director of Our Revolution, the largest grassroots-funded progressive political organizing group in the United States, released the following statement
“Our Revolution commends President Biden’s courageous choice to put the country over personal ambitions. We thank him for his service and dedication to the nation. His willingness to listen to the party’s base demonstrates his commitment to our shared mission of defeating Trump.”
Geervarghese continues, “Our Revolution appreciates President Biden’s recent embrace of Bernie Sanders’ plans to cancel medical debt, raise the minimum wage, and cap national rent increases at 5%. This acknowledgment of our progressive platform shows his dedication to listening to our members and we fully expect the top of the ticket to continue embracing these policies.
As we look ahead, our members expect the next nominee, likely Vice President Kamala Harris, to adopt and champion a progressive platform that delivers for working families and rebuilds trust in government and the Democratic Party. With these exciting and tangible policy priorities now part of the party platform, we are hopeful that the new nominee will invigorate interest in the Democratic ticket, ensuring we defeat Trump in November.”
Our Revolution, representing an 8 million-strong grassroots network, conducted an initial survey that showed approximately 70% of progressives supported Biden stepping aside as the Democratic nominee, with 32% indicating they are less likely to vote for him following the debate. These survey results, first reported by POLITICO Playbook, highlight the sentiments of grassroots progressives about President Biden and the upcoming election.
Our Revolution has teamed up with Progressive Democrats of America and the State Democratic Party Network to launch a comprehensive 2024 Progressive Power Platform to push at the Democratic Convention in Chicago in August.
We are organizing delegates to advocate that the DNC include in the party platform progressive priorities like filibuster reform, taxing billionaires, campaign finance reform — and, of course, a ceasefire and conditioning aid to Israel.
“We’re gearing up for a fight and drawing a line in the sand,” Our Revolution Executive Director Joseph Geevarghese told NBC News. “It’s in the re-election campaign’s interest to minimize disruption and protests, and the only way to do that is meaningful policy shifts.”
Sign on to show the DNC that you support the 2024 Progressive Power Platform.
Don’t miss Our Revolution’s Fight for the Future Town Hall, LIVE this Monday with U.S. Rep. Jamaal Bowman, Vermont Lt. Gov. David Zuckerman, Vermont Rep. Emilie Krasnow, and Rev. Lennox Yearwood, Jr. of the Hip Hop Caucus!
Join us as we organize to re-elect these climate champions and talk with Rev. Yearwood, Jr. about how we’re taking the climate fight to the next level and putting the fossil fuel industry on the defense.
MAGA and Big Oil billionaires are pouring millions into the NY-16 Democratic primary trying to unseat Jamaal Bowman — but our grassroots movement refuses to let Big Money silence one of our most powerful voices for the planet.
We’ll be joined by Emilie Krasnow, who helped pass an historic climate law in Vermont forcing fossil fuel companies to pay for the damage they cause. And, we’ll hear from Vermont Lt. Gov. David Zuckerman – a lifelong Bernie ally, farmer, environmental advocate.
Rev. Yearwood, Jr. of the Hip Hop Caucus will break down our new plan to take on Big Oil and put an end their taxpayer subsidies.
Americans are not only “dying because of the climate crisis” but also paying fossil fuel companies “to kill us,” Rev. Yearwood, Jr. said on a panel last weekend, led by OR Director Joseph Geevarghese at the Sanders Institute Gathering. “Their business plan literally means a death sentence for our communities.”
Our Revolution stands in solidarity with student protesters who are organizing to demand a Ceasefire in Gaza and an end to U.S. funding of the killing of Palestinian civilians and children.
We also applaud the 37 progressive champions including Barbara Lee, Ilhan Omar, Ro Khanna, and Pramila Jayapal who voted against providing more unconditional funding for Netyanahu’s war regime.
This marks the first time that this many Democrats voted against weapons and funding to Israel’s military.
“The role for outside groups, like the young people who are protesting and Our Revolution is to be out on the streets, because that gives people like Bernie and AOC the standing to advocate on the inside,” Our Revolution Executive Director Joseph Geevarghese told The Hill this week.
Add your name: Stop sending U.S. weapons to Israel. Peace Now!
Progressive Congressman Jamaal Bowman is under attack by AIPAC and MAGA in his run for re-election in NY-16 — but we’re mobilizing to fight back!
It will take people power to win this race, which is why we hope you’ll sign up to hit the streets or hit the phones as part of our GOTV operation, led by Our Revolution Volunteer Organizer Joe Lawrence.
We refuse to let dark money and rightwing billionaires determine the result of this election and silence one of our strongest voices for peace, working people, and racial justice in Congress.
But, we know that organized people can beat organized money. We’ve done it before and we can do it again — with your help!
When we organize, we win!
President Biden shows no willingness to slow down America’s shipments of weapons to Israel — he’s already sent more than $570 million worth of bombs to Netanyahu since the start of this war. The only way forward right now is peace, diplomacy, and an immediate, permanent Ceasefire.
As Bernie has said for months, “Not another nickel for Netanyahu’s immoral war against the Palestinian people.”
Bernie’s courageous advocacy alongside other pro-Peace progressives like Rashida Tlaib, Barbara Lee, Ilhan Omar, Summer Lee, and Pramila Jayapal cannot stop and will not stop until there’s peace in Gaza. They won’t stop advocating for an end to financial support for Netanyahu’s war. And they won’t stop calling for an end to arming Israel with the weapons used to kill Palestinian civilians.
But it appears President Biden won’t stop arming Israel, even as Netanyahu’s war is killing civilians and Israeli forces are blocking food, water, and medical aid to the people of Gaza. The way forward is PEACE NOW so Netanyahu ends his bombing campaigns against the Palestinian people.
