Our Revolution

Robert -
Once President-elect Trump takes office, we need to be ready to defend our progressive victories and respond to Republican attempts to jeopardize health care for millions of Americans, undo our progress on addressing climate change, and give tax breaks to the wealthy at the expense of working families.
What Bernie proved during his presidential campaign is when millions of people come together, we can accomplish things that no one ever thought possible. We have a lot of tough fights ahead of us, but we can win those fights if we do it together.
Your small-dollar donations and dedication to the progressive values we share is what makes our work possible. You have been and continue to be the greatest strength of our organization and this movement.
Our Revolution remains committed to empowering you to continue making progress in your community, and we've been working hard to develop comprehensive state-based organizing plans which take into account tens of thousands of survey responses.
Together we have already accomplished incredible feats, from stopping construction of the Dakota Access Pipeline to putting the nail in the coffin of the TPP. But we need your help now more than ever as we prepare for the release of the nationwide Our Revolution local organizing plans.
Since launching Our Revolution, we've shown what is possible when we come together to advance racial, social, economic and environmental justice.
Last month, our political revolution defeated the Trans-Pacific Partnership.This was a central issue during Bernie's presidential campaign, and our movement kept up the pressure until it was clear that this horrible trade deal would not come up for a vote during the lame duck session.
During the Democratic National Convention, more than 2,000 of us demonstrated in Philadelphia to show opposition to the TPP. And together we made more than 50,000 calls into Congress and sent 100,000 text messages to stop the TPP.
Earlier this month, we won a major victory in North Dakota when the government halted construction of the Dakota Access Pipeline. Native American activists and their allies joined together to stop this disastrous pipeline from contaminating tribal lands and water.
Thanks to your support, Our Revolution raised more than $200,000 to support the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe and collected nearly 250,000 petition signatures to oppose construction of the pipeline.
That is the political revolution — when we stand together, we win.
Thank you for everything you've done, and will do, for our movement.
In solidarity,
Larry Cohen
Board Chair

John Kerry: Future generations are counting on us

Dear Robert, Every election is a chance to write the future. Don't let this election be the moment our children or grandchildren point to as when it all started to unravel. Because without a Senate firewall, some Republicans would seize it as the moment to end Social Security forever, gut Medicare benefits for more tax giveaways, and instantly repeal our historic health care reform. Our margin for error is so slim. If we lose just 4 of the 23 Democratic seats up this cycle, Republicans will have free rein in Washington. The DSCC needs $235,000 before midnight Friday to defend those seats. Future generations are counting on us. Nothing less than maximum effort will prevent us from careening down the wrong track. Fully 90% of the DSCC’s contributions come from the grassroots, and I know they need every last nickel. Don’t take chances with our majority – or with our future. Give right away. Click here to rush $5, $10 or more to the DSCC before midnight Friday. Democrat

Andrew: Big Pharma is getting rich by spreading a plague

Big Pharma is getting rich by spreading a plague among our people. Add your name to support my proposal to hold them accountable Yang Gang -- Every hour, eight Americans die from overdoses.  It’s gotten so bad that drug overdoses have overtaken car accidents as one of the top causes of death in America, and our nation’s life expectancy has decreased for the last three years. It’s a crisis of capitalism run amok. Our government was complicit in enabling this epidemic because they looked the other way while Purdue Pharma and others dispensed hundreds of thousands of OxyContin prescriptions as a non-addictive wonder drug.  And now we’re all grappling with the aftermath. During the debate last week, I gave an answer that has gotten a lot of people talking.  I talked about putting the resources back into the communities that were destroyed so our people could have a fighting chance to get well. Drug companies are now settling lawsuits for a tiny fraction of their overall profit

Sara El-Amine Apply now to be one of our fall fellows

Friend -- I'm the national training director at Obama for America. My job is to develop the programs and resources our staff and volunteers use to teach others how to grow this campaign in their communities. I'm writing because you or someone you know might want to be among a group of people who will play the leading role in our grassroots strategy this fall. They're called our fall fellows. By now you've probably heard of our summer organizers program, through which more than 1,500 full-time volunteer organizers have stepped up as the next generation of leaders in this movement. These folks have been the focus and the heart of our movement all summer, and though each and every one of them will remain a part of this organization, their time as Summer Organizers ends next month. The job of fall fellows is to pick their work up and carry it forward into the months to come. Our fall fellows are going to engage new volunteers on front porches and over the phones.
