These names and more as the Justice Democrats are soon announcing their nominees. Same for the Progressive Change Campaign Committee (PCCC) and Endorsements from the Democratic Socialists of America. It is truly Our Revolution, this political revolution, and we must fight, resist, and disobey to make this a peaceful, clean, and safe planet for our posterity. 🌹

I’m also hoping to see more candidates support Joshua Collins’ RUN Act to strengthen unions and sign the Progressive Economic Pledge for Higher Wages, Medicare For All, the Green New Deal, College For All, and Ending Corruption. You can sign the Pledge as well and ask your reps, at every level, to sign here as well!


See what candidates I’m supporting, at the end of the month!
