Our Revolution (sometimes known by its initials OR) is an American progressive political action organization spun out of Senator Bernie Sanders's 2016 presidential campaign to continue its work.[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]

In his book, published on Nov. 15 [2016] by Thomas Dunne Books, he [Bernie Sanders] cites an early experience with 'the nature of the media's political coverage,' recounting the time Vermont news outlets focused their attention on a candidate for state representative who skied around the state to meet voters, downplaying the actual issues affecting voters.
