New York! It’s time to vote for these bold progressives on the ballot

Friend,

New York should be leading the nation on progressive policy — and it can, if we build real power up and down the ballot. This primary election is our chance to elect a slate of bold leaders across New York who will fight by our side, and early voting starts tomorrow!

Time and again, Albany Democrats have watered down or blocked the bold solutions working people are demanding — from taxing the rich to passing single-payer healthcare. As billionaires and corporate interests shape politics for the entire country from Wall Street boardrooms, deep blue states like New York cannot afford to play it safe.

That’s why this is such an insurgent moment in New York politics — and why Our Revolution is mobilizing our one million members across the state to elect a new generation of progressive fighters at every level of government.

These candidates are taking on corporate power, political insiders, real estate interests, and the billionaire donor class while fighting for housing justice, labor rights, healthcare, climate action, and economic democracy.

New York congressional endorsement slate

U.S. Congress:

Claire Valdez (NY-07) is a union organizer and New York State Assemblymember who has been a strong advocate for worker protections, social housing, and immigrant rights. Claire is ready to bring working-class politics to Washington and fight for Medicare for All, stronger unions, and housing as a human right.

Brad Lander (NY-10) has built a reputation as New York City Comptroller for taking on corruption, corporate landlords, and billionaire influence in city politics. A longtime progressive reformer, Brad champions affordable housing, climate action, and labor rights, while pushing back against big real estate and corporate money.

Alex Bores (NY-12) has emerged as one of the country’s leading voices on AI accountability and the dangers of unchecked corporate technology power. A State Assemblymember and former tech worker, Alex is fighting to regulate AI, strengthen democracy protections, and challenge monopolistic corporate influence over public life.

Darializa Avila Chevalier (NY-13) is a working-class Afro-Latina organizer, UAW member, and public defense investigator building a grassroots challenge rooted in immigrant rights, housing justice, and economic dignity. From organizing against ICE to supporting mutual aid efforts in the Bronx and Harlem, she represents a new generation of movement leadership.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (NY-14) helped redefine what’s politically possible in America. Since defeating one of the most powerful Democrats in Congress in 2018, AOC has become one of the nation’s leading voices for Medicare for All, a Green New Deal, climate justice, and taxing the rich. Alongside Bernie Sanders, she continues to lead our movement forward.

Effie Phillips-Staley (NY-17) is an educator and labor advocate, running one of the clearest grassroots-vs-establishment campaigns in the country. She’s fighting for Medicare for All, universal childcare, housing as a human right, and redirecting resources away from endless war and toward working families.

SOS: Congress just pushed ahead with supercharging US-Israel military ties!

Tensions between Trump and Netanyahu have reached new heights. Hours after Trump vowed: "I call all the shots" and told Israel not to bomb Iran, Israel bombed anyway. And yet, Congress is quickly moving ahead with a TERRIFYING provision in the new Pentagon budget that would tie the U.S. to the Israeli military more than ever before.

If this passes, it won’t just mean sending more taxpayer dollars to Israel – it would mean co-producing weapons, turning the U.S. military’s data into the Israeli military’s data too, and greenlighting UNPRECEDENTED Israeli influence on the U.S. – all with less oversight than ever before.

We cannot let them sneak this through – but to stop it, we need to overwhelm Congress with opposition to this toxic merger right now.

Tell Congress now: Strip Section 224 from the Pentagon Budget – NO to an unchecked US-Israel weapons merger!

ADD YOUR NAME

Polling shows public distrust of the Israeli government has skyrocketed. Together, we watched in horror as violence across Gaza killed tens of thousands of men, women, and children. And now, Netanyahu and Trump are sparring publicly over who is in charge.

Section 224 would make it all MUCH worse. Netanyahu has called it "my plan" – putting the U.S. on the hook for even more US-made bombs, more joint surveillance operations, and more weapons stampeding through the export pipeline – all without public oversight or accountability.

Congressional leaders are banking on the fact they can sneak this through with little attention. They want to keep these deals in the dark, far from public scrutiny.

Both Our Revolution ally Rep. Ro Khanna and Rep. Thomas Massie have promised to fight it on the floor – and it’s going to take ALL of us to make sure enough members of Congress join them to stop this dangerous plan.

If we don’t make enough noise NOW, this could become law without a public fight. Our Revolution was built to shine a spotlight on exactly this kind of backroom dealmaking. Your voice can help expose and stop this before it’s too late.

Add your name RIGHT NOW to tell Congress: No new US-Israel military-industrial merger!

Data Centers Are Draining Our Water – Demand an Immediate Moratorium NOW

Massive data centers are being proposed at breakneck speed across the country — and communities are fighting back.

Big Tech profits are not worth the utter devastation these facilities cause: thousands of acres, millions of gallons of water, sky-high utility bills, scarce water for drinking and farming, and so much more.

Public anger is at a fever pitch. In Monterey Park, California, voters just passed the country’s first-ever ban on data centers – by a landslide 86%. In Ohio, the Republican governor slammed the brakes on new tax breaks for these billion-dollar projects.

While AI-funded politicians from both parties try to claim these water-hogging, power-thirsty facilities mean jobs and prosperity, we’re working to shut them down. Our Revolution is organizing side by side with local advocates where these facilities threaten to move in, and this week we’re launching a national coalition to stop this takeover.

In the Senate, Bernie is again showing what leadership looks like, demanding Congress pass a nationwide moratorium on new data centers – and we ALL need to stand with him.

Will you stand with Bernie and DEMAND a federal moratorium – before more of our communities are drained dry?

ADD YOUR NAME

We know what happens when data centers move in: 24-hour noise, water shortages, and sharp hikes to our power bills – on top of Trump’s energy price hikes. This is about ultra-wealthy investors destroying our communities for their own profits, while our neighborhoods, environment, and wallets pay the price.

The majority of new data center construction is planned for the areas hardest hit by drought. A recent investigation found that of 809 data centers set to be built, 517 are in communities that have struggled with drought for the past year.

Bernie is forging ahead with a bold, clear vision: a moratorium on new data centers until we can pass clear regulations protecting our communities. But he’s not stopping there. He’s also demanded a 50% public ownership stake in AI giants, so their profits benefit everyone, not just Silicon Valley investors. Even Trump and OpenAI’s CEO are saying the public deserves a share!

Bernie’s plans are picking up momentum because the public is saying NOT ON OUR WATCH. Nobody wants these gigantic data centers – and one community after the next is saying NO.

Our Revolution is recruiting our 30,000-strong Citizen Action Team to bring relentless outside pressure: calling, organizing, and showing up to stand up for community needs. And while we organize locally, we ALSO need to be backing Bernie’s call for a pause on the construction of new facilities until Congress passes regulations to protect our communities.

Sign on to stand with Bernie and demand a halt to reckless AI data centers – before it’s too late.

When we organize, we win.

Launching National Coalition to Stop Data Centers

Friend,

Across the country, communities are standing up to powerful corporations against the unchecked expansion of AI data centers. From small towns to major cities, people are organizing to protect their water, energy resources, public health, and local democracy.

Now it’s time to bring all of these fights together.

That’s why Our Revolution is proud to join organizations from across the country in launching the National Coalition to Stop Data Centers. Together, we’re building a movement strong enough to challenge the growing influence of Big Tech Oligarchs and demand policies that put people before corporate profits.

Join us on Thursday, June 11, for the coalition’s national launch call.

What: Data Centers Are Not Inevitable: National Coalition Launch Call
When: Thursday, June 11 | 7:00 PM – 8:30 PM ET
Where: Zoom (RSVP for the link)

RSVP NOW

On this call, you’ll hear directly from organizers leading data center fights across the country, learn how communities are winning against billion-dollar corporations, and discover ways to take action in this growing movement.

We’ll also hear from Pennsylvania State Senator Katie Muth, who is leading efforts to establish a moratorium on data centers in her state. And together, we’ll take action by reaching out to residents in a critical fight that could help set a national precedent.

This coalition includes grassroots, environmental, and advocacy organizations from across the country, including Our Revolution, Third Act, GreenLatinos, Media Justice, North Carolina Environmental Justice Network, Citizens Action Coalition, Pennsylvania Physicians for Social Responsibility, and Food & Water Watch.

The rapid expansion of AI data centers is not inevitable. Communities deserve a voice in decisions that impact their water, energy, environment, and future. When we organize together, we can hold corporate power accountable and win.

Join us on June 11 as we launch the next phase of this nationwide movement.

When we organize, we win.

Let’s flip the Senate

Just a few months ago, it seemed all but certain Trump and his MAGA cronies would keep control of the Senate after the midterms thanks to an incredibly difficult map. Now, pundits are calling it a toss-up, giving us a real shot at FLIPPING the Senate blue, but it’s going to take ALL of us to make it happen.

The road to victory is clear: Democrats must hold onto all their seats while also flipping at least four GOP-held seats. To help pull it off, Our Revolution is going BIG in Maine, Michigan, and Texas to activate the grassroots for working-class champions Abdul El-Sayed, Graham Platner, and James Talarico.

If we win these crucial seats, we won’t just be well positioned to take back the Senate. We’ll also send a slate of bold progressives to DC ready to take on the billionaire class and work alongside Bernie to bring REAL CHANGE.

That’s why right now, Our Revolution is launching our Summer Senate Surge, recruiting new organizers, supercharging our volunteer base, and setting up the infrastructure we need across these states to be able to WIN in November.

Maine is ground zero. Graham Platner is polling ahead of Susan Collins, giving us a REAL shot at kicking her out of the Senate after more than 29 years. But right now, his lead is shrinking and Collins is rolling in massive billionaire checks to drown out grassroots voices. We have to step up to fight back.

In Michigan, Dr. Abdul El-Sayed rose to prominence as Bernie’s unstoppable Medicare for All champion. But right now billionaire-backed super PACs are spending millions to lift up the establishment’s pick, Haley Stevens, and stop Abdul because they know he answers only to working people.

And Texas? Right now, bold progressive James Talarico LEADS Ken Paxton, the MAGA extremist indicted for bribery and abuse of power, in early polls. But Trump’s machine is pouring millions into Texas to prop up Paxton and silence working families.

Make no mistake: these are grassroots fights versus billionaire muscle.

We’re in an all-out sprint to reach 398,000 voters in Texas, 229,000 in Michigan, and 72,000 in Maine. Every $1 allows us to reach 6 voters, but our tried and tested model means we have to connect with voters MULTIPLE times – which means we start RIGHT NOW.

Our Summer Senate Surge starts NOW. It’s time to send Bernie’s buddies to the Senate and take the fight for working families to the highest level. Can you donate $27 right now to fuel our surge, power our organizers, and help us flip the Senate?

If you've stored your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation to Our Revolution will process immediately.

When we organize, we win.

Congress is hoping they can pass this quietly. We’re not going to let them.

Buried deep in next year’s MASSIVE Pentagon budget is a provision that’s getting little attention: Section 224, which would tie the U.S. to the Israeli military more than ever before.

Our Revolution ally Rep. Ro Khanna has vowed to offer an amendment TOMORROW to strip this from the bill – giving us just 24 hours to OVERWHELM Congress with opposition to this toxic merger.

Tell Congress now: Strip Section 224 from the Pentagon Budget – NO to an unchecked US-Israel weapons merger!

ADD YOUR NAME

Polling shows public distrust of the Israeli government has skyrocketed. Together, we watched in horror as violence across Gaza killed tens of thousands of men, women, and children. We’ve witnessed countless Israeli violations of international law – all made possible by ongoing, unconditional U.S. support.

Section 224 would only worsen this. It would put us on the hook for even more US-made bombs, more joint surveillance operations, and more weapons stampeding through the export pipeline – all without public oversight or accountability.

Congressional leaders are banking on the fact they can sneak this through with little attention. They want to keep these deals in the dark, far from public scrutiny.

That’s why, TOMORROW, Rep. Ro Khanna will offer an amendment in the Armed Services Committee to strip Section 224 from the bill. If the section survives committee, Rep. Thomas Massie has promised to fight it on the floor.

Add your name RIGHT NOW to tell Congress: No new US-Israel military-industrial merger! Overwhelm them with public opposition before tomorrow’s vote.
