STOP ICE: Fighting Trump’s Deportation Machine

By Homepage Slot 6, Take Action No Comments

👉 Add your name and demand Congress stop funding ICE’s campaign of fear and violence.

A college freshman was just trying to surprise her family for Thanksgiving. Instead, she was surrounded by federal immigration agents at the Boston airport and deported to Honduras within 48 hours — even after a judge ordered a stay.

A mother working her factory shift was separated from her children when ICE stormed her workplace. She was detained, misprocessed, and wrongfully deported to Guatemala before her 2-year-old could even say goodbye.

These are not isolated incidents. They are the reality of Trump’s ICE: masked agents storming workplaces, classrooms, and entire neighborhoods with intimidation and brute force.

And it’s happening everywhere — from Boston to Charlotte to Los Angeles and beyond.

Families are being ripped apart. Children are being left behind. Entire communities are being terrorized. We cannot afford to stay silent.

A New National Deportation Push: “Swamp Sweep”

Now, ICE just launched a major new operation called “Swamp Sweep,” a months-long push to arrest thousands of people. Hundreds of agents have deployed — not just in Louisiana, but in cities across the country.

Communities report the same pattern:

  • masked ICE agents staking out homes
  • raids at worksites and schools
  • people detained without explanation
  • families separated with no notice

All of it is being carried out with our tax dollars, approved by Congress. The cruelty is not a mistake — it is the point.

Our Coalition to FIGHT BACK

Our Revolution’s Citizen Action Team is organizing rapid-response protests in multiple states and exposing corporations — including AT&T and Avelo Airlines — for aiding ICE’s operations.

We are building networks of resistance to protect our communities.
But Congress must also be forced to act.

Congress Has the Power — But Only If We Demand It

Trump and his allies want unchecked funding for ICE’s militarized raids. But Congress has the power to say NO:

  • NO more blank checks for ICE
  • NO more tax dollars to terrorize our neighbors
  • NO more separating children from their families

Every message to Congress is counted. Every voice adds pressure. When communities rise together, we change what’s politically possible.

Add Your Name: Demand Congress Defund ICE’s Cruelty

ICE’s nationwide surge is terrorizing immigrant families — but we have the power to stop it.

👉 Add your name and demand Congress stop funding ICE’s campaign of fear and violence.

Because our neighbors deserve safety, dignity, and justice — not raids, repression, and heartbreak.

This is what our movement is for. We fight back. We speak out.
And we protect our communities — together.In solidarity,
Our Revolution

Bernie Sanders just issued a bold challenge to Congressional Democrats: go big, or go home on health care.

By Homepage Slot 2, Take Action No Comments

Next month, Congress will vote on a health care bill as part of Democrats’ “deal” to end the government shutdown. As negotiations kick into high gear, Bernie is laying out a clear path forward: reject half-measures that leave millions behind and EXPAND health care to help the millions of working families struggling to afford coverage. 

Right now, the party has a choice: retreat, or fight – and if all of us stand with Bernie, we can force their hand. We will descend on Congress with all of our voices to deliver a message they cannot ignore.

Add your name now and tell Democratic leaders to meet this moment and pass real, transformative health care reforms. Will you add your name and stand with Bernie now?   

Here’s what’s at stake: if Congress fails to renew the expanded ACA marketplace subsidies by the end of the year, premiums for millions of families will **more than double**.

But Bernie isn’t pulling punches. In a letter to colleagues, he pushed Democrats to go further than extending ACA tax credits – calling on them to repeal over $1 TRILLION in GOP health care cuts, expand Medicare, and lower prescription drug prices. We’re talking about real victories for working people – not crumbs, not watered-down deals, but the fundamental change Americans deserve.

Democrats have a choice: Stand tall for working people or buckle to Republican pressure and corporate greed. NOW is the time for Democrats to push the big demands we need – but they need to hear from all of us.

Our power is in our numbers. If thousands of us stand behind Bernie’s call, the Democratic establishment will take notice. And that’s the grassroots power Bernie needs right now.

Add your name to tell Democrats: No more small asks – stand with Bernie and deliver big, bold health care wins for all. 

We hear it every day: Family members cutting pills to make prescriptions last, friends skipping checkups because insurance is too expensive, or parents who lost coverage after a layoff. That’s the reality for millions – and it’s preventable, but only if Democrats unite and fight.

No one should have to choose between bankruptcy and survival. Let’s seize this moment and fight for real change now.

When we organize, we win,

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

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.

Tell Democrats: No Oligarch Money

By Homepage, Take Action

After Elon Musk’s massive public fallout with Trump, some Democrats are openly COURTING him and his right-wing extremism – and together WE are mobilizing to say NO!

 

No Democrat should be taking money from Oligarchs, tech billionaires, or especially Elon Musk!

We’re seeing in real time what happens when oligarchs are allowed to buy our democracy: they concentrate their wealth and power while the rest of us suffer. This is why Our Revolution is working alongside champions like Bernie to rapidly scale up our efforts to push the Democratic party to REJECT this dirty money once and for all. 

 

Will you add your name now and send a clear message to Democrats across the country to say NO to oligarchs buying our politics?

ADD YOUR NAME

This victory in Arizona highlights the path forward: if we mobilize, Democrats across the country can follow suit, supporting candidates who represent voters – not wealthy donors. Because if Arizona Democrats can refuse billionaire interference, Democrats everywhere can too.

 

The fact is Americans overwhelmingly agree: money should never equal political power. But Democratic Party leadership still REFUSES to sever ties with oligarchs. And that’s EXACTLY why some of them are casting votes that advance Trump’s agenda when it serves their big donors — things like crypto deregulation..

 

Sign our petition now and tell Democrats loud and clear: Stop courting billionaires like Elon Musk. It’s time to reclaim American democracy from oligarchs trying to buy power.

 

Together, Our Revolution activists have spearheaded victories all across the nation – from local elections to state party platforms – by boldly demanding politicians refuse big-money donors. Now is our moment to do it again, on a national scale, and send a crucial message to Democratic leaders courting Musk and his billionaire class.

Tell Congress: Stop Trump’s War with Iran

By Homepage, Take Action

Trump is on the cusp of dragging the U.S. into Netanyahu’s war against Iran, a move that would ignite catastrophic conflict and risk countless American and Iranian lives.

Bernie Sanders just introduced the No War Against Iran Act in the Senate, and Ro Khanna introduced a bipartisan War Powers Resolution in the House, to stop Trump in his tracks.

These critical bills would block any unauthorized military action by using Congress’s full constitutional authority to cut off funding for war with Iran – and we need huge, immediate pressure on Congress.

Add your name immediately: tell Congress to urgently back Bernie's No War Against Iran Act and block Trump's reckless path toward another Middle East war.

Article 1, Section 8, Clause 11 of the Constitution makes it crystal clear that Congress has the SOLE authority to declare war.

Bernie Sanders and Ro Khanna are making sure that every ounce of that authority is brought to bear to stop a disastrous descent into yet another catastrophic Middle Eastern military adventure by prohibiting any funding for military operations in or against Iran without explicit Congressional authorization.

The stakes couldn’t be higher. Over two decades of American military entanglements have cost us more than $8 trillion, hundreds of thousands of lives, and immeasurable suffering across the Middle East. We cannot let it happen again.

Trump seems intent on repeating the deadly mistakes that sent the country to war in Iraq and Afghanistan, and the war hawks in D.C. are pushing urgently to make U.S. involvement a foregone conclusion. It’s critical we speak up loudly, clearly, and immediately before the drums of war drag the country into yet another Middle East war.

Add your name immediately: tell Congress to urgently back Bernie’s No War Against Iran Act and block Trump’s reckless path toward another Middle East war.

FIGHTING CRYPTO CORRUPTION

By Homepage, Take Action

The GOP is pushing a crypto bill — the so-called “GENIUS Act” — which would allow the Trump family to make billions while destabilizing our economy and leaving working people vulnerable to scams.

Our Revolution activists and allies greeted the Grifter-in-Chief and his crypto financiers as they arrived at Trump National Golf Club to buy influence with the president.

We were joined by Sen. Jeff Merkley and our allies at Public Citizen to make it clear that AMERICA IS NOT FOR SALE. “This is the Mount Everest of corruption,” the senator said.

The NY Times, Common Dreams, and many other news outlets took notice, amplifying our action to crack down on Trump’s crypto corruption.

Joseph Geevarghese, executive director of Our Revolution, said Trump’s meme coin is worthless without the access it buys. “Invest in the coin and you’ll get a seat at the table,” he said. “We’re here to send a message to Trump: Our democracy is not for sale.”

Our activists shouted ‘shame, shame, shame’ as the presidential motorcade arrived. And, the White House felt the heat, putting out a video of Trump saying he puts “the country way ahead of the business.”  Sureeee.

★ ★ ★

US Senators Elizabeth Warren and Jeff Merkley joined our LIVE Town Hall to break down Trump’s crypto corruption — and this week, our activists took to Capitol Hill to bird-dog Congress members — including senators like Cory Booker, who joined 15 other Democrats to advance the bill.

Our Revolution also held a virtual town hall on Tuesday to hold Sen. Angela Alsobrooks accountable for her vote for the GOP crypto bill.

The senator didn’t show up, but our movement did. And on Thursday, we delivered your messages directly to Alsobrooks’ office and asked her why she would enable Trump’s crypto corruption and empower the tech oligarchs.

This is more than just about crypto — it’s about taking a stand against the billionaire takeover of our government.
