Important [META] New Rules, New Mods, New Mission

25 Upvotes

Hey Revolution.

Our New Community Guidelines

As you may have been aware, our moderation team has been deliberating over the past few weeks over new community guidelines to reflect the goals and new direction of our community. After much feedback from all of you, we are looking forward to serving the community under these new rules.


General Updates
  1. We are excited to welcome our new moderators 🔥/u/HoldMyWater🔥 and 🔥/u/deadpoetic31🔥

  2. We are developing a new badge achievement system to help reward you for your activism! Based on your phonebanking, canvassing, calls to your representatives, local/regional action attendance, money raised for donations, and many other concepts (to be decided by all of us), we want to express our gratitude and give you some shiny flair (a la game badges) to reflect your efforts. It will certainly be a tiered system so we can climb the ranks and let other community members know how committed we are to the progressive cause.

    • This said, we are looking for any graphic designers who have worked with CSS and bitmapping!

      Fill out a moderator application to get involved with the new system!

  3. We have three upcoming AMAs:

    Date Time Person Description
    May 30th 2:00-4:00PM (EDT) Alan Pugh Candidate for Elyria City Council
    May 31st 1:00-3:00PM (EDT) Cecil Bothwell Candidate for Asheville City Council
    June 10th 12:00-2:00PM (EDT) Mike Hartley Candidate for Indiana CD-5
  4. Free Submission Sunday:

    The idea here is that we as moderators will sit on our hands for any posts that stick to the essential vibe of the /r/Political_Revolution. Stick to the ideas of Progressivism as it reflects not only in America, but also as in the movement around the world... or feel free to discuss the last week with all those Trump/Russia leaks... but most importantly, MEMES. We encourage you to have fun with it, and don't forget that civility rules will still apply.

  5. Thanks to /u/Shkeebs. For everything. Even as you've resigned, you've also inspired us to follow in your footsteps and humbly try to bring the energy you continually share with the community. We wish you well and we look forward to upholding your values of activism and persistency.


We want everyone to know that we as the moderation team are excited to reinvigorate our sub and bring in a fresh perspective to growing and leading, but we are merely here as your peers in the community, volunteering to serve you. We hope that these new guidelines are democratic and just, and we will always heed constructive feedback to address the scrutiny of our submissions.

In that vein of democracy, we will be conducting community polling going forward to make collective decisons. The next one will be regarding which cause we want to promote and include as a donation link on the sidebar! More soon.

Thanks all, for being part of this revolution.

Hey Revolution

How're things going for you?


Feel free to share a story on what you've done in activism here, and what new causes or projects you may have. If you're new, welcome! Feel free to introduce yourself.


We have some AMAs coming up so remember to check out the schedule on the sidebar!


So we have been working on a bevy of things in the background, and we wanted to fill you in on some of the details of our mini-projects and some of the technical changes we have made.

🔥New endorsements wiki page is live!🔥

(/u/deadpoetic31 worked tirelessly to put together this extremely important reference for all of us. Shower this man with praise!)

This’ll serve as an excellent resource for people trying to learn more about their local races and to get informed about their candidates. It will be kept up-to-date by /u/deadpoetic31 and the team responsible for maintaining our wiki.


Some more changes:

  1. We have added party affiliation coloration to our CSS stylesheets. You can see how this works on it's respective wiki page.

  2. The coloration scheme has been updated to reflect the official Political Revolution style guide, which appropriately highlights some of our more significant post types with fresh, bold colors for link flairs. The logo has also been subtly updated. ;)

  3. More renovations to the wiki are coming, with Issues page and Post Flairs synchronization in the works.

  4. We have our activism platform in development! More soon...

We are looking for people who are interested in joining us for these projects!

  • Wiki-editors
  • CSS/coders
  • Activists who have done organizing before

Reach out to us in modmail if you have your experience to offer, or if you even just want to learn, try, and contribute your time. We appreciate all of you and the energy you can bring to be a volunteer in this revolution!

And if you feel inclined, consider applying to become a moderator!

Moderator Application


On that note, let's all give an official welcome to /u/CherryDice, our newest member of the team. Coming in as a seasoned moderator from /r/PoliticalRevolutionNC before he joined us here, Cherry helped bring attention to progressives in the state, including Cecil Bothwell, who recently did an AMA here on P_R! We're glad to have you on board and appreciate the work you're doing!


Let us know if you have any feedback, like your thoughts on how Free Submission Sunday is going, or if you have an application that you think can be a help for the new activism platform, and just in general, let us know how we are doing. We want to serve you guys the best way we can.

Keep Fighting Strong!

Important We are at a tipping point where people need to feel safe knowing they can get medical testing and treatment without the fear of going into medical debt. A simple flu test & exam at a clinic can cost up to $700 alone. We need #Medicare4All & we need you to help make that happen.

Important One more reason we NEED to have a full tidal wave of blue. There should be no people that are treated like they're less than people because of their color, orientation, or gender. Only those that spread hate should be looked down upon

This is a wide net though there are no guarantees of inclusion in the final cut. We're looking for those who are currently:

  • being directly supported by Bernie's statements
  • are endorsed by reputable progressive organizations
  • self identify as a Berniecrat as part of their messaging
  • are strategic options for causes in two ways races
  • are local folk you personally know resolutely dedicated to best interest of the people
  • are extremely likely candidates of progressive celebrity who are almost sure to run

This is one of our member's endeavors that I'm personally glad to help out with. Kudos for your proactive efforts u/dstreets, thanks for your initiative & efforts.

Here's what's came in so far: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/12H-4bgerGpfDQC-md569z3Itz7m4AepKSaCg2uG7-eE/edit#gid=1156012489

PS Though I prefer 'Bernicrat' r/Berniecrats lead has me using 'Berniecrat' instead.

Voices of the Revolution is a blog inspired by Senator Bernie Sanders and his 2016 presidential campaign. We believe the progressive movement is the future of both the United States and the world. Our blog gives regular, working people — people like Mike, an educator in Tulsa; Katherine, a small-business consultant in Sacramento; and Dan, a mental health therapist in Philadelphia — a grassroots platform on which to share their commitment to the progressive revolution.

Natural disasters caused by climate change, corporate control of politics, the widening gulf between the rich and the poor — these are just some of the 21st-century issues threatening our country. The past few years have seen one of the largest redistributions of wealth to the rich in American history.

By increasing inequality between the rich and the poor, redefining money as speech, and through the slow and insidious takeover of politics and the media, multinational corporations and the top 1% that own them have destabilized the very core of our democracy. As long as politics is a game of money, the rich will always win. At Voices of the Revolution, we want to change the rules. This blog is our call to action and our refusal to let the wealthy and powerful steal our democracy. Challenging these billionaires requires new politics, one that speaks to people’s needs across the political spectrum, and allows them to speak. We have created a space for individuals to write about a new progressive politics, from education to trade, healthcare to immigration.


For more information about our movement, please subscribe to our mailing list. Have an idea for an important progressive issue? Please submit a writing pitch. Be sure to include your email on the pitch form if you would like us to follow up with you.
