1/ This Politico piece on Our Revolution is a badly cobbled together ATTEMPT at a hit piece. Anyone who has ever worked with @ninaturner will testify that she is an incredible asset to the organization. No one works harder than Senator Turner.
2/ It is a matter of FACT that fundraising is DOWN for many progressive groups and orgs as donors are preferring to give directly to candidates. Our Revolution unlike Onward Together is NOT taking large checks from wealthy individual donors. It relies on small dollar sustainers.
3/ Disappointed that Politico would lob attacks at a woman who has dedicated her LIFE to activism and improving the lives of working class people. Nina's deeply moral leadership and authority is inspiration to so many young activists in our movement. And older activists too, ME!
4/ Some facts: Our Revolution has a win record of 50%. Last year the organization sent 2 million p2p text messages. More than 400 groups were launched WORLD WIDE. The organization has facilitated over 11,000 grassroots events and endorsed over 175 candidates.
Our Revolution has passed 24 ballot initiatives. 24 damn ballot initiatives. This is commitment. This is commitment to improve our democracy from the bottom up and it is a strategy to win elections up and down the ballot.
