TAKE ACTION: Big Money vs. People Power for Jamaal Bowman

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!

Action Alert: Biden sends more weapons to Netanyahu

By Take Action

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.

Add your name: President Biden must choose Peace in Gaza. Demand that he do everything in his power to help broker a permanent Ceasefire NOW!  

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.

Add your name: Ceasefire NOW! No more atrocities against the Palestinian people. Peace and diplomacy are the only way to save Gaza.

Reject AIPAC Coalition Battling $100M Aimed at Progressives

By Homepage, Progressive Champions, Take Action

AIPAC plans to spend $100 MILLION to try to unseat pro-Peace progressives this election year — and it’s already getting started with Congresswoman Summer Lee’s primary for re-election less than one month out.

Our Revolution is partnering with more than a dozen organizations nationwide as part of a new Reject AIPAC coalition to fight back. Voters must know AIPAC is as toxic as the NRA.

AIPAC and its GOP megadonors have no place spending millions in Democratic primaries & lobbying against Palestinian lives. Join our movement!

Our Revolution Chair Larry Cohen has signed on with Jewish Americans Opposing AIPAC with a mission to “support candidates who are opposed by AIPAC and who are advocates for peace and a new, just US policy toward Israel/Palestine,” The Nation reports.

Support our work with a $10 one-time gift or $5 monthly donation and get your “Reject AIPAC” sticker to spread solidarity in the fight against this toxic right-wing lobbying group!

Urge Biden to Protect Forests

By Policy Fights, Take Action

Our Revolution has joined forces with a coalition calling on President Biden to use executive action to halt the devastation caused by logging old-growth forests.

Old-growth forests provide irreplaceable ecosystems to countless endangered species and are key to climate change mitigation — and 95% have been destroyed forever.

This is another tragic case of corporate interests dominating all other stakeholders and capturing government policy to serve their bottom line at the expense of the rest of us.

Sign your name now to urge President Biden use his executive authority to protect these forests before it’s too late.

Phonebank for Barbara Lee for U.S. Senate

By Take Action

Our Revolution and the progressive movement are fighting for Barbara Lee because she has always fought for us — especially when the chips are down.

That’s why I hope you’ll join our phone bank team to make calls to voters in California for Barbara. We have a chance to elect one of the strongest progressives ever in Congress to join Bernie Sanders in the U.S. Senate — and now is the time to act!

Barbara is gaining more and more momentum in this race, but she needs our grassroots action to get her to victory on Election Day March 4th. Sign up here to make calls for Barbara Lee!

Barbara Lee is a progressive trailblazer for our movement, so making calls for her with our team is a lot of fun. But this is also serious business because we know what it would mean to put a powerhouse like her in the Senate.

At a time when 20 million Californians are one paycheck away from falling into poverty, they need a progressive champion with an unrivaled record of fighting for working families, Medicare for All, renters, affordable housing — and actually holding the rich and powerful to account.

As the most progressive candidate in this race, Barbara Lee has the support of progressives leaders like CPC chair Pramila Jayapal, Cori Bush, Ro Khanna, Ayanna Pressley, Keith Ellison, and many others inspired by working with her in Congress.

Barbara needs your voice! Join us to make calls to progressive voters across California to make sure they know what’s at stake in this race!

Barbara has always stood for what’s right, even when she’s had to stand alone, from her lone vote against the War in Afghanistan to being the only candidate in this race to call for a Ceasefire in the Middle East.

Barbara Lee is not standing alone now — she has our grassroots movement at her back because we know she’ll be a true organizer in the Senate and a key partner in our inside-outside strategy for change.

Stand with the Pro-Peace Progressives

By Homepage, Progressive Champions, Take Action

Looking to the battles ahead in 2024, we know we must defeat the far right in the Presidential election while also electing more progressives to Congress — folks like Barbara Lee, who will be a powerful partner for Bernie Sanders in the Senate.

Our movement will also need to unify to defend progressive allies who have become a target of powerful lobbying groups hoping to oust them from office.

AIPAC is getting ready to spend over $100M to try to replace pro-peace members of Congress like Rashida Tlaib, Ilhan Omar, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Cori Bush, Summer Lee, Jamaal Bowman, and Ayanna Pressley — at a time when 66% of Americans want our government to work toward a ceasefire. 

Last week, the Republican-led House of Representatives voted to censure Rashida Tlaib – the only Palestinian-American in Congress – for her support for civilians in Gaza and the West Bank, which has earned her relentless slander from her colleagues in Washington and the press.

SIGN NOW to protect our hard-won progressive caucus from cynical dark money and rightwing attacks. The working class can’t afford to lose the power of these seats.

In September of 2001, Barbara Lee cast the lone “No” vote in Congress against a blank check for war in Afghanistan. She endured death threats, hate mail, and media slander for years. But history vindicated her.

Today, Barbara Lee is the only candidate for U.S. Senate in California calling for a ceasefire in Gaza. Check out this LA Times article on why Barbara is the Peace Candidate in this race compared to her opponents Katie Porter and Adam Schiff.

Help Pass the Oligarch Act

By Take Action

Barbara and Bernie recently teamed up together on the new OLIGARCH Act to tax the ultra-wealthy. They’re also pushing for a Wall Street speculation tax, a bill to close the CEO-worker pay gap, an audit of the Pentagon, and more.

“Senator Sanders and I have worked on this daily,” Barbara said. “People cannot wait. Billionaires are scamming the system, and regular folks are paying excessive taxes to fuel the Pentagon budget. This is money that should be invested in healthcare, housing, and lifting people out of poverty.”
