Our Revolution DC

Today history was made. The federal minimum wage hasn’t moved since 2009. The tipped minimum wage hasn’t moved since 1991. 20+ members of Congress stood up today, alongside 100+ organizations with one common demand. $25 for every worker. This is what worker power looks like. Share this to tell more congress members. We want a living wage for ALL. #OneFairWage #WorkerPower

🚨 ENDORSEMENT ALERT 🚨 Our Revolution DC is proud to endorse Robert White for Congress. A 5th-generation Washingtonian, Robert has spent his career fighting for the people of DC — from working in Congress with Delegate Eleanor Holmes Norton to serving on the DC Council and leading the fight for housing justice, workers’ rights, and DC self-determination. Our Revolution DC has proudly supported Robert’s leadership before, and we’re excited to stand with him again as he continues the fight for working people across the District.

ENDORSEMENT ALERT! @OurRevolutionDC is proud to once again endorse Janeese Lewis George (@janeese4dc ) this time for DC Mayor. We first endorsed Janeese in 2020 during her successful run for DC Council because we believed Ward 4 deserved a strong, independent voice committed to accountability, affordability, and equity. She has delivered. On the Council, Janeese has been a consistent champion for working families across the District, fighting for housing justice, public safety rooted in community, climate action, economic equity, and a DC government that answers to residents, not corporate interests. She has stood firm in refusing corporate PAC money and continues to put people before powerful interests. Now, as she runs for Mayor, we believe the entire District deserves the same principled, effective leadership she has brought to Ward 4 and to the Council. Janeese has proven she can govern with integrity and bold vision. We are confident she will continue to fight for a more just, affordable, and equitable DC as Mayor.

🚨 ENDORSEMENT ALERT: @ourrevolution proudly endorses Graham Platner for U.S. Senate in Maine! Graham is a Marine veteran, oysterman, and lifelong Mainer who knows what it means to work hard — and what it feels like when the system is rigged against working people. He’s running to unseat GOP Senator Susan Collins and fight for a government that serves the people, not the powerful. As a small business owner, Graham has seen firsthand how corporate greed threatens local jobs, the environment, and our democracy. In the Senate, he’ll fight for workers’ rights, affordable health care and housing, and policies that lift up everyday people — not the billionaire class. 💪 Graham Platner represents the kind of working-class leadership Our Revolution was built to support — authentic, service-driven, and unafraid to take on the powerful.
