PRESS RELEASE
Our Revolution Announces Formation of Board
WASHINGTON -- Our Revolution on Monday announced the formation of its board. The diverse coalition of eleven former elected officials, organizational leaders and grassroots activists join the board to continue the work they started as volunteers and surrogates for Sen. Bernie Sanders presidential campaign, mobilizing progressives across the country to transform American politics.
I'm incredibly excited to continue the work that Bernie and so many others started in order to further our shared progressive agenda, said former Nevada Assemblywoman Lucy Flores. It's truly an honor to work alongside the talented Our Revolution board and staff, who are as committed as I am to the future of our political movement.
Full board list below:
Nina Turner - Fmr. Ohio State Senator
Deborah Parker - Native American Leader
Ben Jealous - Civil Rights Leader
Jim Hightower - Political Leader, National Radio Commentator & Writer
Jim Zogby - Arab American Human Rights Leader
Huck Gutman - Former Chief of Staff for Senator Bernie Sanders
Jane Kleeb - Environmental Activist
Lucy Flores - Fmr. Nevada Assemblywoman
Larry Cohen - Labor
Catalina Velasquez - Immigration, Reproductive Justice and Trans Queer Liberation Activist
Shailene Woodley - Actress and Environmental Activist
PAID FOR BY OUR REVOLUTION

If I were to vote in a presidential
