For years, Our Revolution has been doing the hard work — organizing inside the Democratic Party to get big money out of our primaries and return power to the people. Now, that work is starting to pay off, and now is the time to push harder. 
For the first time, banning dark and corporate money in Democratic primaries is becoming a mainstream position — and real action is on the table. Right now, efforts are underway at the Democratic National Committee to pass a resolution that would ban AIPAC money and limit corporate and dark money in Democratic primaries altogether. Let's be clear: These are Democratic races. There is no reason candidates should be taking money from billionaires, corporate Super PACs, or special interests trying to buy influence before voters even have a say. And yet, in Illinois alone, more than $50 million flooded Democratic primaries in a single week. Across the country, hundreds of millions are being spent to shape races, pick candidates, and secure policy outcomes. This isn't just "campaign spending." It's an investment strategy by corporations — designed to control who governs and what policies get passed. That's why this moment matters so much. And it's why Our Revolution leaders are doing the work and organizing right now to make these reforms a reality. Chip in to help us push the DNC to ban dark money in Democratic primaries.

Our Revolution leaders have been in the room at DNC meetings, working with party officials, building coalitions, and organizing AND agitating to make this reform real. Because if we want a true opposition party to Trump and the GOP, we cannot allow big money interests to call the shots. And the base agrees. Year after year, Our Revolution surveys show that Democratic voters want fighters — leaders who will stand with working families, stand for progressive values, and stand up to the oligarchs. One of the clearest ways to prove that? Reject the money. That's why we're also leading the charge for the People's Pledge — where candidates commit to rejecting dark money and challenge their opponents to do the same. It's a proven tool. When candidates adopt it, outside spending drops dramatically — because it flips the incentive. And it's already happening. Progressive champions like Brad Lander in New York, Wala Blegay in Maryland and Troy Jackson in Maine are stepping up and saying: No corporate PACs. No dark money. No billionaires buying our elections. We need to take this to the next level. Rush a donation to help us win this fight at the DNC and across the country — it's time to take power back for the grassroots. Because this isn't just about one race. It's about building a Democratic Party that actually represents working people — and nominating candidates who can take that fight into November and deliver a massive blue wave against MAGA. We have a real chance to change the rules of the game. To make sure primaries are decided by voters — not by shadowy groups and billionaires. To show voters that this party is serious about taking on the oligarchy. But it won't happen without pressure. And it won't happen without organizing. That's what Our Revolution is here to do. When we organize, we win. Our Revolution
