Paulo,
As the Chair of Our Revolution’s Board of Directors, I want you to know-how
deeply we appreciate your support!
Our Revolution’s Board — which includes progressive leaders like Keith Ellison and Jim Hightower — volunteer to serve because we are
committed to continuing the political movement that Bernie inspired during
his 2016 and 2020 presidential campaigns.
We know that elections come and go and that transformational change doesn’t happen overnight — it comes through long-term organizing. That’s
why Our Revolution is implementing our strategic plan for 2021 and beyond
RIGHT NOW.
Having a consistent revenue stream
is critical to supporting long-term organizing. We have hundreds of local and state groups, powered by our team of local organizers and volunteers who are the backbone of Our Revolution’s work. Can I count on you to support
the growth of Our Revolution by becoming a recurring member of Our
Revolution?
Our
Revolution didn’t stop organizing after Election Day. We’re already hard at
work implementing our 2021 Plan to Win real progress by organizing our
grassroots network to:
·
Hold our
Democratic President and Congress accountable to progressives
·
Elect
progressive champions up and down the ballot
·
Fight for
progressive policies both locally and nationally
·
Build a
more progressive Democratic Party
Every
Monday night, we bring together our national membership for our National Organize to
Win Call on Zoom featuring
high profile progressive champions — like Ilhan Omar who joined us this week — and our own organizers from across
the country to discuss how we’re working together to advance the plan
above.
On this Monday's call, we heard from the people on the front lines of progressive policy
fights like raising the minimum wage to
$15 an hour, canceling student debt, Medicare for All, and much more. We got
updates from Our Revolution volunteers who are doing the phone banking and
door knocking to elect progressive champions — like Nina Turner and
others. And we heard from people who are working to reform the Democratic
Party because we know we need a grassroots
Democratic Party in the 57 states and territories to be able to effectively
advance our issue and electoral work.
Our Monday night call is an example of what Our Revolution is doing every single day across the USA. This movement-building work is critical to winning long-term change. If you can afford it, please consider becoming a recurring member of Our Revolution to help support our mission!
Because of
your support, 2020 was the most successful year for Our Revolution yet. Nearly 75% of our 450 endorsed
candidates won their races, and we were able to cement our 2016 Democratic
Party reforms and significantly influence the policy trajectory of the
Biden administration.
We are
well-positioned to build on our success in 2021 and beyond. A key reason is because of the dedication of our small but powerful team of skilled campaigners and organizers led by Executive Director Joseph Geevarghese. Our team constantly works with volunteer leaders and local part-time organizers who are changing the politics in their communities by coordinating our electoral, policy, and party reform work. This reliance on part-time local organizers who were first volunteer leaders is unique because it builds the infrastructure for long-term change.
We support a national network of grassroots organizers and empower them with the tools to build something powerful where they live. Consider becoming a recurring member of Our
Revolution in 2021 to fund this important work, Paulo.
Either way, we deeply appreciate your current support!
In solidarity,
Larry Cohen
Board Chair Our Revolution
