What. A. Night. And let’s be clear about one thing: this Blue tsunami was fueled by a progressive wave, powered by you and our movement.
We not only OVERWHELMINGLY flipped the House AND the Senate, we did it by sending DOZENS of new progressives to DC to grow our power in Congress. You helped make it possible. Our Revolution shattered our goal of 5 million voter contacts this election. Our volunteers made thousands of calls, sent thousands of texts and emails, and knocked on doors for candidates like Abdul El-Sayed, James Talarico, and Troy Jackson, and for progressives up and down the ballot.
You didn’t just help us power MILLIONS of voter contacts — you helped us change the conversation and put progressives at the center of this election cycle. Our work lifted our candidates in front of millions of eyeballs, with viral posts and coverage in dozens of outlets, including Politico, the New York Times, and USA Today, heading into Election Day. We helped grow name recognition and grassroots energy for candidates the establishment wrote off, in places where progressives weren’t supposed to compete.
James, Abdul, Peggy, and Troy won their Senate races. But we also swept the House. From Bob Brooks and Chris Rabb in Pennsylvania to Donavan McKinney and Will Lawrence in Michigan, candidates who focused on fighting for the working class won decisively, flipping red seats and proving that grassroots power can beat billionaire money.
That’s what organizing does. It turns long shots into real contenders, and it builds power that lasts beyond a single election.
We just delivered a massive blow to MAGA, but now we have to make sure that power translates into wins for the working class.
As we send dozens of bold new progressives to the House and Senate, we’re going to keep up the pressure to make sure our leaders actually deliver for working people, not billionaires and corporate donors. We’re going to uproot corruption and take on the dark money trying to buy our democracy. We’re going to fight Big Tech’s data center boom, which threatens communities, the climate, and working families. We’re going to stop Section 219 of the NDAA, which would all but fuse our military with Israel’s. And we’re gearing up for 2028 by recruiting, training, and electing the next generation of progressive leaders.
We built this movement from the bottom up, with volunteers, small-dollar donors, and neighbors talking to neighbors. While the election may be over, the organizing never is.
But today, let’s celebrate. Thank you for everything you did to make it possible.
When we organize, we win.
Our Revolution
