Our Revolution (sometimes known by its initials OR) is an American progressive political action organization founded as a continuation of Senator Bernie Sanders's 2016 presidential campaign.[2] The organization's mission is to educate voters about issues, get people involved in the political process, and work to organize and elect progressive candidates.[3][4] Our Revolution is also the title of a book by Sanders released in November 2016.[5]
