Our meeting with DCCC Chair Cheri Bustos
DCCC Blacklist: Campaign Update!
Last week, I helped deliver over 30,000 petitions – signed by Our Revolution supporters like you across the USA – directly to Rep. Cheri Bustos, Chair of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee! Because YOU took action, Rep. Bustos agreed to meet with us and hear why we are demanding she end the DCCC Blacklist immediately!
Clem Balanoff from Our Revolution Illinois and Richard Rodriguez, National Our Revolution Board Member deliver petitions to Rep. Cheri Bustos.
Here's the update: Last week, I joined with other Our Revolution leaders for a frank sit-down meeting with Rep. Cheri Bustos in Illinois to deliver our message: Over 30,000 progressive activists who are members of Our Revolution think the DCCC Blacklist is bad politics and bad policy.
We told Rep. Bustos that the DCCC Blacklist is designed to protect incumbents and prevent a new generation of progressives – like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ro Khanna and Ayanna Pressley – from getting elected to Congress.
We told her that Our Revolution activists are laying the groundwork to elect more progressives across the country and we won't let the DCCC Blacklist undermine our critical work.
Rep. Bustos took our petitions, listened to our concerns, and agreed to set up a follow-up meeting with DCCC officials in Washington, DC. It's a step in the right direction – but we also made it clear that we won't stop organizing until she rescinds the DCCC Blacklist once and for all!
Thank you for stepping up. When we fight together, we will win!
In Solidarity,
