Progressive Activists Launch Ready for AOC for 2028 Run
Progressive activists launched Ready for AOC to build a grassroots infrastructure encouraging Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to run for president in 2028.
A network of progressive activists launched a political organization called Ready for AOC on Monday to encourage Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to run for president in 2028. The group intends to enlist 10,000 community leaders to collect one million signatures pledging support for her candidacy, aiming to demonstrate a mobilization apparatus capable of powering her to victory.
Ready for AOC has already secured more than 500 local political and union leaders across 35 states. This effort emerges as potential candidates and allies begin positioning themselves for a wide-open Democratic primary, with similar organizing efforts already underway for Representative Ro Khanna.
Ocasio-Cortez has not confirmed her plans but previously stated she would consider her options after the midterm elections. Her campaign recently advised supporters to state that she will continue to seek ways to do the most good for the most people when asked about a potential presidential or Senate bid.
