Message from Our Revolution








https://ourrevolution.com/

The polls have closed, and it's safe to say: progressives are making history.

Last night's victories belong to you. Our Revolution members and local groups have spent the past year revolutionizing their neighborhoods by organizing around the policies that will make a material difference in our lives.

That organizing helped to save unions in Missouri by defeating Right to Work. Eleven Our Revolution candidates won primaries and are ready to take public office in November to champion the cause of racial, social, economic, and environmental justice.

Last night's victories are just the start. It's not just Rashida Tlaib and James Thompson. Adrian Plank, Curtis Wylde, Michela Skelton, George Hanna, Jessa Lewis, Erin Frasier, Victor Minjares, and Mark Bignell also won, ensuring our progressive platform is represented in races for state house, state senate, and county prosecutor. But we need to keep fighting through November.

From young people, those paying off their debt, to workers making less than $15 an hour and living without health insurance, we are proving that our collective power will outweigh the influence of major campaign donors in elections.

Last night provides us with even more proof that the political revolution is growing. Our Revolution is about bringing every person who has been left out into the political process.

You are a part of making history last night. Let's keep working for more nights like these and together we will build a movement to transform this country.

In solidarity,

Shailene Woodley

Our Revolution Board Member
