Once again, the Democratic establishment is trying to silence our movement.
From Maine to California, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) is intervening in competitive House primaries, elevating establishment picks and sidelining true progressives ready to stand up for the working class.
If we're going to win back the House to finally be able to stop Trump, we CANNOT let Washington elites get away with overriding the will of the grassroots by backing corporate candidates in the Democratic primaries. Our Revolution was built to challenge this exact kind of insider politics, but we need you with us.
Will you urgently send a message demanding the DCCC stay out of Democratic primaries and let voters decide?
What’s happening is not democracy – it’s backroom dealmaking. Just look at California’s 22nd Congressional District. Our Revolution and Bernie-backed Randy Villegas, an auto mechanic with a PhD, was passed over by the DCCC in favor of a more corporate-friendly candidate. Despite his deep roots and broad progressive support, the establishment snubbed Villegas because he stands with working people, not big donors.
It’s the same story in Maine. Matt Dunlap, a state auditor who served as Secretary of State for years and helped lead Bernie’s campaign in 2016, faces the DCCC’s opposition. This isn’t about winning tough seats by going with the candidate who resonates most with the people – it’s about allowing corporate donors to stay in control.
History proves that ignoring the grassroots only hands the keys to Republicans. But instead the establishment is trying to rig our primaries before a single voter has their say.
Our Revolution was built to fight back against top-down politics, stand up for the working class, and hand the power back to the grassroots. Right now, we’re fighting back by organizing for progressive candidates across the country – but we also need everyone to speak out and send a clear message to the DCCC that this is not ok.
Add your name now and tell the DCCC: Stay out of our primaries! Let the people, not donors, decide who represents us.
This is not just about one primary. It’s about sending the establishment a message they can’t ignore: we won’t let Wall Street and corporate PACs dictate the future of our party.
When we organize, we win,
Our Revolution
