Our Revolution

What Our Revolution does

Our Revolution is a U.S.-based 501(c)(4) nonprofit social welfare organization that operates as a national grassroots progressive political movement, founded with the backing of Senator Bernie Sanders as honorary chair and currently led by Executive Director Joseph Geevarghese. The organization's core activity is mobilizing individual progressive voters and activists through voter-contact operations—door canvassing, phone banking, text banking, and digital outreach—coordinated via a newsletter (Revolution Report), weekly national Organize-to-Win Calls, and petition campaigns hosted on platforms such as Action Network. It explicitly does not develop or sell technology products; its outputs are electoral endorsements, field volunteer deployment, petition drives, and pressure campaigns directed at Democratic Party leadership.

The organization generates revenue exclusively through small-dollar individual donations processed via ActBlue, with no tax-deductible charitable contribution status and no commercial products or pricing tiers. Its customer base is a horizontal segment of progressive Democratic voters and grassroots activists, with reported scale of 30,000+ members and over 3.5 million cumulative voter contacts made across Democratic primaries. Recent strategic positioning has shifted toward an "anti-oligarchy" framing—evidenced by the Defund Oligarchy campaign, 80,000-petition pressure campaign urging Democratic leadership to back Zohran Mamdani, and 13,000+ signatures delivered to the DNC on dark-money reform—indicating an expanding mission scope that now encompasses institutional lobbying alongside candidate endorsement and field organizing.
