Elect Progressives
We back progressive candidates for local, state, and congressional office — and support progressive incumbents.
Who We Are
The Political Revolution is a group of volunteers that grew out of the Bernie Sanders campaign. We are an organization focused on digital campaigning and connecting progressives across the nation. Our goal is to support progressive candidates and ballot initiatives on a state-by-state basis, and to amplify the message of other like-minded organizations and campaigns.
The Political Revolution operates as a portal for candidates to introduce themselves to a national community of grassroots activists. This outreach means that even local races can have access to the same progressive base that helped Senator Sanders gain online popularity and support.
Our Mission
The Political Revolution advances politics in America through progressive grassroots activism. Our political action committee is dedicated to electing progressive candidates and supporting issue-focused efforts to transform our government so it represents all our citizens, not just the wealthy few.
Our founders also started Sanders for President, the single largest online community dedicated to Senator Sanders’s presidential bid. Powered entirely by volunteers, that group raised more than $10 million and reached millions of people every month.
With no single guiding icon, it is up to the progressive movement to create the energy necessary to move forward. By being connected, informed, and motivated, we can do exactly that — funding software development, managing volunteers, providing resources to candidates, and supporting activists in the field so more people can afford to be on the front lines. And with more people comes more change. And then more people.
