Our Revolution Rallies Behind Troy Jackson

Our Revolution Rallies Behind Troy Jackson to Replace Graham Platner on Maine Senate Ballot

 

With just days before Maine’s replacement deadline, Our Revolution is mobilizing behind former Maine Senate President Troy Jackson to ensure the people-first movement that won the Democratic primary isn’t replaced by the political establishment.

After withdrawing our endorsement of Graham Platner in light of the serious allegations against him, Our Revolution made two things clear.

First, the allegations are serious, and Platner should step aside.

Second, this is not an opening for Democratic insiders to handpick a replacement that ignores the will of Maine voters.

Mainers voted decisively for a bold progressive agenda: Medicare for All, a campaign free from corporate money, an end to endless wars, and a candidate who would stand with working people instead of powerful interests. That mandate deserves to be honored.

That’s why Our Revolution is rallying behind Troy Jackson to carry that movement forward.

A logger, union leader, and former President of the Maine State Senate, Troy has spent his life fighting for working people. He led Bernie Sanders’ presidential campaigns in Maine in both 2016 and 2020, and Bernie later endorsed Troy’s campaign for governor. Long before this Senate seat became available, Troy had built a record of standing with workers, unions, and rural communities across Maine.

Chip in a donation of any amount to help us nominate Troy Jackson to replace Platner on the Senate ballot in Maine!

As Our Revolution Executive Director Joseph Geevarghese said:

“Last night we made clear that Graham Platner should withdraw from Maine’s Senate race. The allegations against him are serious, and he must step aside. We also made something else clear: this is not the Democratic establishment’s opening to handpick a replacement.

“Maine’s progressives didn’t win the primary by a fluke or by a narrow margin. Working people voted for Medicare for All, for a Senate campaign free of corporate money, an end to forever wars, and for a candidate who would actually fight for them. That mandate doesn’t disappear because one candidate is gone.

“That is why we are rallying behind Troy Jackson. He has spent his life in the fight working people are asking for—not arriving to it because a seat opened up.

“We have days, not weeks, to make sure a real progressive is on this ballot. If we do not organize now, we risk watching the Democratic establishment hand Maine a corporate placeholder while the party that just got outvoted decides it knows better.

“This is bigger than one Senate seat. To take back the Senate, Democrats have to defeat Susan Collins, and they won’t do it by abandoning the coalition that already showed up once. Our Revolution is putting our full organizing machine behind Troy Jackson starting today.”

Our organizing machine is already moving.

With the replacement deadline rapidly approaching, we’re mobilizing our Citizen Action Team, activating volunteers, and organizing across Maine to ensure voters are represented by a candidate who reflects the agenda they overwhelmingly supported.

This fight extends far beyond one state.

Defeating Susan Collins is critical to winning back the Senate. But just as important is protecting the integrity of a movement built by ordinary people—not party insiders or corporate donors. Maine voters already spoke. They chose a people-first platform. Our Revolution is committed to making sure that platform remains on the ballot.

The urgency of this moment has already drawn national attention, with coverage from The New York Times, the Associated Press, The Guardian, Politico, The Hill, and other major outlets. The conversation isn’t simply about replacing one candidate—it’s about whether the Democratic Party will respect the will of primary voters or allow the establishment to override it.

Now is the time to take action. Can you donate $5, $10, or $27 to power our organizing work to nominate and elect Troy Jackson as the next Senator from Maine? Every dollar helps!

Together, we can ensure Maine Democrats have a nominee who will fight for working people, take on corporate power, and help build the progressive Senate majority our country needs.

When we organize, we win.

Tell Congress: Stop Trump’s War With Iran

By Homepage Slot 6, Homepage2, Take Action No Comments

Trump’s war is spreading at a terrifying rate as bombs rain down across the Middle East. More than a dozen countries have been pulled into the chaos. And Trump is nowhere near done yet. 

It’s already costing up to $2 billion PER DAY – $83.3 million every single hour. And now Trump is gearing up to demand $50 BILLION more of OUR tax dollars from Congress to fuel his illegal, appalling war.

Even more shocking – some Democrats are quietly considering giving it to him.

Let’s be clear: this is NOT our war. And now we need to overwhelm Congress with public pressure before they give Trump billions more to unleash even more chaos and death. 

Tell Congress: Not One Dime for Trump’s Illegal War – click here to send your urgent message now. 

Trump’s is taking a devastating toll. Missiles have struck neighborhoods and schools, killing children. Several U.S. servicemembers have lost their lives. 

Meanwhile, defense contractors like Raytheon and Lockheed Martin are literally lining up in Capitol hallways, eager to profit from the carnage. And now they’re counting on Congress to pass a $50 billion funding package to keep it all going.

This cycle must end. Our tax dollars belong in our communities – not fueling chaos and fear for profit. As weapons manufacturers whisper in lawmakers’ ears, WE have to be louder.

Make no mistake: this war is deeply unpopular. People – including Our Revolution members – are protesting in the streets. Veterans are speaking out. Yet, in DC, too many lawmakers are still on the fence.

Here’s the truth: a vote for this funding is a vote for more dead children, more wounded civilians, more grieving families.

Send an urgent message to Congress now: Not one more dime. Not in our name. Add your name now to demand Congress reject sending Trump another penny for war.

No Kings Day Returns March 28 — Let’s Make History

By Homepage Slot 2, Take Action No Comments

It’s official: the next No Kings Day is happening on March 28 — and Our Revolution is all in.

At a time when Trump and his allies are testing the limits of authoritarian power, one thing is clear: the American people are not backing down. They want us to stay home, stay quiet, and stay afraid. But across the country, people are doing the opposite — organizing, mobilizing, and showing up for one another.

Sign up to join a No Kings Day protest on March 28 

This is our chance to show Trump and the world the power of our opposition. Last June, 5 million people joined more than 2,100 No Kings Day actions nationwide. In October, we raised the bar even higher — 7 million people took to the streets in 2,700 cities. The world took notice, and so did Trump.

Because No Kings Day isn’t just a protest, it’s a declaration. It’s a reminder that democracy belongs to the people — not to billionaires, not to corporate lobbyists, and not to kings.

On March 28, we’re organizing to make this the biggest No Kings Day yet. That means recruiting new event hosts, reaching first-time participants, and equipping organizers with the tools they need — from flyers and digital toolkits to livestream support and legal resources.

This movement is powered by everyday people standing shoulder to shoulder in defense of democracy.

Trump and his cronies understand the threat that mass, peaceful mobilization poses to their grip on power. They know we’re growing in strength and energy as we head into the midterms. That’s why they try to smear, intimidate, and divide us.

But every time we show up in larger numbers, we prove something fundamental: authoritarianism cannot survive when millions of people refuse to comply.

On March 28, we rise together again. Plug in to take party by clicking here!

Democracy belongs to the people.
Not to the oligarchs.
Not to the powerful.
Not to kings.

When we organize, we win.

Tax the Billionaires. Fund the People.

By Homepage Slot 5, Take Action No Comments

Our Revolution proudly supports the California Billionaires Tax Act — a bold, people-powered measure to make the ultra-wealthy finally pay their fair share and invest in the future of our communities.

Roughly 200 California billionaires hold nearly $2 trillion in wealth — much of it shielded from taxation through loopholes and accounting tricks. Meanwhile, working families are squeezed by rising costs, underfunded schools, and threats to healthcare and essential services. It’s not an accident.

The California Billionaires Tax Act would raise $100 billion with a one-time 5% wealth tax and would help replace lost federal funding and protect critical programs — with 90% directed to healthcare and 10% to public K–14 education and state food assistance programs. All without a dime of extra taxes on the middle class or small businesses.

This is exactly the kind of structural reform our movement is fighting for nationwide. Defunding oligarchy isn’t just a slogan — it means cutting off the pipelines that allow billionaires to hoard wealth while public services are slashed. It means using public dollars for the public good.

California voters will have the chance to vote YES this November. If this passes, it can be a model for states around the country to do what’s right.

When we organize, we win — and when billionaires finally pay their fair share, our communities thrive.

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,

Fire Carr

By Homepage Slot 5, Homepage2, Take Action

On Tuesday, Our Revolution activists confronted Trump’s censorship czar at the FCC’s first open meeting since he pressured ABC affiliates to pull Jimmy Kimmel Live! off the air.

“This was us using our free speech rights to tell Brendan Carr that he can’t use threats as FCC chair to impinge those rights,” Our Revolution deputy director Paco Fabián told The Hollywood Reporter.

Carr sat stone-faced while we chanted “Fire Carr, the censorship czar!” — before Homeland Security officers escorted us out.

“Carr has sided with corporate power brokers like the Ellisons and Murdochs, working to create media monopolies that silence independent voices and undermine free speech,” Paco told news outlets. “Activists directly confronted Carr during the meeting and call out his role in eroding democracy.”

Trump and his cronies won’t silence our dissent. Free speech means the right to call out corruption, oligarchy, and authoritarianism.

All-In on Prop 50 in California — Defend Democracy

By Homepage, Homepage Slot 2, Take Action

Our Revolution is endorsing California’s Prop 50 – the Election Rigging Response Act – and we’re putting organizers on the ground to win it.

Why We’re All-In

Donald Trump and Republicans across the country have launched a MASSIVE national redistricting effort in Texas, Missouri, Ohio, Florida, and more — desperately trying to steal enough seats to keep control of Congress no matter how the people vote.

Prop 50 is our chance to fight back. By passing the Election Rigging Response Act, California voters can ensure their voices aren’t silenced by Republican gerrymandering — and prevent Trump and his allies from cementing control of our government for years to come.

Our Plan to Win

We’re going all in — mobilizing our grassroots base to support local groups on the ground with canvassing, phonebanking, and voter education. Together, we’re aiming to reach 1.2 million contacts across California before Election Day.

Donald Trump and Republicans in states like Texas and Missouri are already gerrymandering congressional seats to rig the 2026 election before voting even begins. More Republican-led states are following suit every day.

We have to fight back with every tool available — and our best bet is protecting fair redistricting in California.

The Challenge Ahead

But the truth is, we’re up against corporate PAC money and Republican billionaires fueling the right-wing’s war chest. They will spend whatever it takes to stop Prop 50.

If we stand together — if we show up, organize, and outwork them — we can win.

Ballots will start hitting mailboxes on October 6. That means we have just days to reach voters before they start to vote.

The Bottom Line

Republican billionaires may have the money — but we have the people. Our Revolution is proud to be in coalition in this fight to pass Prop 50 and protect free and fair elections.

“Donald Trump and the GOP are trying to rig the system to keep themselves in power, enrich their corporate backers, and dismantle our democracy piece by piece,” said Joseph Geevarghese, Executive Director of Our Revolution. “Prop 50 is how we fight back here in California.

“With our 1.2 million contacts statewide, we are mobilizing in every corner of the state—texting, phone banking, canvassing, and engaging voters at every level—to make sure Californians have their voices heard and their votes protected.

“The stakes could not be higher: if Republicans succeed in gerrymandering the House, they’ll have free rein to continue their corruption and authoritarian power grab. Prop 50 is one important way we can fight back and preventing a full power grab by Trump and the oligarchs that put him in power.”

Geevarghese continued, “Republican billionaires may have the money, but we have the people. When we organize, we win. The stakes could not be any higher.”

Together, we can defend democracy and stop election rigging.

When we organize, we win,

Trump’s DC Takeover Is a Trial Run for Authoritarian Rule

By Homepage, Take Action

Trump’s DC Takeover Is a Trial Run for Authoritarian Rule

Donald Trump has seized control of the D.C. Metropolitan Police Department and deployed 800 National Guard troops into the nation’s capital. This is not law enforcement. This is occupation.

And Trump isn’t stopping there. He’s already moved troops into Memphis — and he’s threatening Chicago next — laying the groundwork for a coast-to-coast crackdown, using militarized force in cities across America.


A Chilling Power Grab in Broad Daylight

President Trump signed a presidential memorandum deploying the National Guard to Memphis, Tennessee, to join a task force with federal agencies like the FBI, ICE, Department of Homeland Security, and U.S. Marshals — all under the guise of fighting crime.

He’s made it clear he’s following the same model used in D.C. In the same announcement, Trump singled out Chicago as “probably next.”

Violent crime is stabilizing or declining in many of the cities he’s targeting; fear-driven rhetoric is being used to justify these expansions of power. Local leaders in Memphis and Illinois have already sounded alarms about threats to civil liberties and the lack of local consent.


Why We Can’t Wait to Act

If Trump can seize control of law enforcement in D.C., deploy troops in Memphis, and threaten Chicago—even without local consent—this sets a dangerous precedent nationally.

We’re already seeing what the playbook looks like: fear-driven messaging, paired with federal force. That tends to crush dissent, intimidate communities, and erode democratic norms.


Our Revolution Is on the Ground

Our Revolution’s DC Citizen Action Team is in the streets right now — fighting back against this authoritarian occupation.

This week, we’ll be on Capitol Hill delivering our message:

  • Congress must act immediately to restore local control of DC’s police department.
  • All National Guard and federal troops must be withdrawn.
  • We demand oversight and accountability for every deployment and order.

We’re scaling up organizing in cities across the country to meet this moment — but we need every voice possible pushing Congress and local officials to defend democracy.


This Is Bigger Than DC

If this power grab goes unchecked here, it can spread anywhere. The precedent is being set, and the stakes are nothing less than the survival of our democratic system.

✍️ Add your name: Tell Congress to Stop Trump’s DC Occupation and defend local autonomy.

When we organize, we win. Let’s make sure this is the moment we stopped Trump’s march toward authoritarian rule.

TELL DEM LEADERS: DON'T SABOTAGE MAMDANI

TELL DEM LEADERS: DON'T SABOTAGE MAMDANI

After Zohran Mamdani’s historic victory, the Democratic Establishment is mobilizing to sabotage his campaign.

Top Democrats including Chuck Schumer are refusing to endorse Mamdani — even though he’s the Democratic nominee, and behind closed doors, billionaire Democratic donors are lining up behind disgraced Mayor Eric Adams who announced he’s running as an independent against Mamdani in November.

We’ve seen this playbook before: In 2021, establishment insiders sabotaged India Walton’s mayoral campaign in Buffalo by backing a corporate-funded independent. They are trying to do it again — and we have to stop them.

Tell Schumer, Jeffries, and the entire Democratic Establishment: BACK OFF! Respect democracy and back Zohran Mamdani as the nominee.

For months, pundits dismissed Mamdani as championing an agenda that was too radical or too fringe, and the party’s entrenched leaders poured enormous resources—billionaire cash, political insiders, and PAC-funded attack ads—into trying to stop him. And immediately this morning, the attacks continued:

Our Revolution didn’t just endorse Mamdani, our organizers poured calls and texts into the city and pounded the pavement to get every voter to the polls. On Election Day, we canvassed ALL FIVE BOROUGHS from 6AM to 9PM, when polls closed. And it paid off!

We are in a generational battle for the soul of the Democratic Party against establishment Democrats who have a track record of refusing to embrace the progressive agenda needed to defeat Trump and build a better future for all Americans.

As Bernie Sanders wrote in a powerful opinion piece in the Guardian, the Democratic Party is at a crossroads: it can learn the lessons of Mamdani’s campaign or it can continue to depend upon billionaire donors and out-of-touch campaign consultants. It’s clear which road Schumer and Co. are taking.

Bernie knows all too well what happens when the Democratic Establishment mobilizes against you, betraying voters to pander to corporate elites and billionaire donors threatened by true progressive change. 

For months, billionaires and party elites poured money and political muscle into stopping Mamdani. But voters chose him anyway, demanding a bold progressive future. 

Now, the same insiders who lost at the ballot box are conspiring to undermine him – and if we don’t immediately raise the alarm and rally to Mamdani’s side, they could succeed — just like they did in Buffalo. We can’t let them do it in NYC.

Add your name now to demand Democratic leaders unite behind Zohran Mamdani and respect the will of the people.

When we organize, we win.
