we invested in Justin Jones early, and now he’s a national hero



You’ve likely only heard of Rep. Justin Jones recently for being one of the Tennessee Three, targeted by the right wing for standing with the people to demand basic gun reform, but Our Revolution has been with him from the beginning.

In the Washington Post image above, you'll find Justin Jones right next to Our Revolution Nashville Leader Brenda Ross and Our Revolution-endorsed Nashville Metro Council member Zulfat Suara — who just voted to reinstate Justin Jones to the Tennessee legislature!

Justin went from a community activist speaking at our 2020 Nashville training to a national hero, and Our Revolution is doing everything in our power to invest in the kind of organizing that enables and empowers more heroes like Justin Jones in cities across America.

Republicans are testing their worst authoritarian instincts on the city and state levels, and Our Revolution is building a bench of strong leaders like Justin Jones to fight back.


Our Revolution delivered the organizing and messaging support to help progressives score huge wins over the establishment in Chicago and St. Louis last week, and that's only the beginning. We are now taking that momentum to Philly, Pittsburgh, and beyond.

Zulfa Suara wasn't the only Nashville Metro Council member we elected who was able to counter Republican extremism and restore Justin Jones to the House. We also helped elect Nashville Metro Council members Emily Benedict and Delishia Porterfield, who joined us on Monday's national live organizing call.

On the call, Delishia laid out the stakes and the work ahead, saying, "Today was a really good day for democracy in Tennessee, but the fight is not over. Watch what's happening in Tennessee; if it's happening here, it's coming to your state. We're asking people to invest in organizing infrastructure, support the good candidates, the nonprofits, and activists doing this work because without us working together, they're going to try to take over our state, and I'll be damned if it happens on my watch."

Please help us build progressive power across America before it's too late for our democracy by rushing a donation here. If we invest in organizing and stick together, we're going to win!

When we organize, we win.
