Our Revolution is also the title of a book by Sanders released in November 2016.[4][5]
Our Revolution has seen significant electoral success since its founding in 2016. Notable politicians elected with its support include U. S. Representatives Pramila Jayapal[6] and Jamie Raskin[7], Mayors Randall Woodfin and Chokwe Antar Lumumba of Birmingham and Jackson, respectively, Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner, and Virginia State Delegate Lee Carter.[8]
