We are a group that advocates for and endorses progressive candidates and policies. We endorse progressive candidates and help them in elections by making thousands of calls to voters on their behalf.

We also pressure centrist politicians that are already in office into supporting policies like Medicare for All, the Green New Deal, Debt-Free College, and getting corporate money out of politics.

We’re sick of half-measures and incremental changes that do nothing to help average, working-class people. We’re tired of being told to wait for reforms that are long overdue, especially when we’re running out of time for bold, comprehensive action on issues like climate change or the student debt crisis.

We will never refuse to endorse a progressive candidate based on who their opponent is. We refuse to ignore those that are in races against powerful people, as these are often some of the most important races to be won.

We will rescind an endorsement if a candidate backs an establishment candidate over a progressive, if they take any corporate money, or if they compromise the progressive values that we endorsed them for in the first place.

We’re sick of a status quo that only works for the wealthy and the elite.

In our first 2 months, we made 60,000 calls (without a dialer) for Adam Christensen, a progressive candidate that ran in Florida’s 3rd Congressional District in 2020. Since then, we have also made calls to constituents urging them to call their representatives to get them to support the Green New Deal, and we have also made calls in Georgia to get people to register and vote in the runoff election.

After that we began making calls to voters to increase support for Medicare For All. Most recently, we worked on behalf of Nina Turner’s congressional campaign. In our first week phone banking for her campaign, our phone bankers made 28,649 calls on her behalf and they made over 600,000 calls for her overall.

If these issues interest you and you would like to learn more about us, you can visit our website at this link.

There you can find more information about us and the policies that we support, as well as the candidates we have endorsed. If someone you know is looking for an endorsement, they can apply for one there as well.

You can also apply to volunteer to help us carry out our mission. This is an entirely volunteer-run organization, and we welcome anyone that would like to volunteer their time to fight for these policies. You can meet plenty of other young, like-minded progressives from all over the country, and the application only takes about 30 seconds. The application can be found here.

You can also follow us on Twitter and Instagram.

Nina is a progressive candidate running for representative in Ohio’s 11th district.

Her platform is meant to secure social, racial, economic, healthcare, and environmental justice for all of us. She supports Medicare for All, the Green New Deal, free public college and cancelling student debt, increasing the minimum wage, and she takes no corporate money.

Turner made history in 2005 as the first African American woman to represent ward one on the Cleveland City Council, and again in 2008 as the first woman to serve as a state senator in Ohio’s 25th District. She led the effort to create Ohio’s first task force on police and community relations in the wake of tragic police killings in Ohio and across the country.

In 2016 she was a national surrogate for Bernie Sanders’ presidential campaign. In 2020, she was the national co-chair for Bernie’s campaign.

You can find more information about Nina Turner and her campaign at her website. You can also volunteer to help her campaign by doing things like phone banking or text banking, or you can donate to her campaign if you would prefer to support Nina in that way.

Nina can be followed at the following social media accounts:

We hope you decide to help out the campaign in any way possible. If you can’t, we hope that, above all, you stay safe and healthy.

If anyone has any candidates running whom are not on this list, let me know. I'll be trying to update this often probably until the 2020 elections.

Hey all! There has been some enthusiasm regarding a Spanish translation of the Joe Rogan interview, but we need to take action and make it! This is important because there are many Spanish voters that have distorted views of Bernie Sanders, some even fearing he'll be a Venezuelan communist dictator...

The Joe Rogan interview seems to have changed many people's views on Sanders, saying he's much better and honest than media portreyed him. A Spanish version with subtitles could at least give Spanish speaking people a fair insight who Bernie is.

Do you speak Spanish? Then we need your help to get this done. Also, if you don't speak Spanish, you can help by sharing this to places with Spanish speaking people that are willing to translate. Thanks!

1. I've downloaded a HQ copy of the video.

I've copied parts of the transcript into comments in the translate thread, here. Reply with your translation/corrections to a comment.

2. You guys & girls translate parts of the interview and reply the results here

3. Someone write a Spanish title page that explains a bit about Bernie and that seduces a to watch the video. Also some Spanish info on where to find more information about Sanders and how to register for the primaries is needed.

4. I'll add the subtitles to the video. Upload the video to YouTube + download link so others can upload it too.

5. We share it! I've contacted the Bernie campaign and asked for their help as well.

• This is a link to the original video

• This is a link to the Reddit topic where you can post your translations in a reply to the comments.

Thanks everyone, give an hour of your time for Bernie, lets do this!!
