I read an article on the formation of a new group by the Bernie Sanders campaign. This group will continue “to activate, educate and recruit for the issues that built the campaign.” I have included a link to just one of the articles on found online about “Our Revolution.” The email I received stating why the organization is being formed has been posted below. It includes info about a live stream address from Bernie Sanders on August 24th.
Common Dreams Article on “Our Revolution”
michael:
Political pundits and the billionaire class are watching very closely to see what Bernie supporters do next. Some of them might be tempted to believe our political revolution is toast.
They want our extraordinary phone banking, door knocking, and grassroots organizing efforts to stop. They want us to get discouraged. They want to vanquish our movement once and for all.
We aren’t going to let that happen.
That’s why, on the evening of August 24, we will kick off a new organization called Our Revolution with a major live stream address where Bernie will talk about the specifics of what we can do as organizers going forward to fight for every single issue that drove this campaign. In order to get as many people watching as possible, we need to set up grassroots watch parties all over the country.
The most important thing you can do today to move the political revolution forward: Sign up to host one of these events on August 24 at 9pm ET /6pm PT.
Bernie’s said from the very beginning that no one person can alone accomplish what must be done to turn our country around. We all must do our part.
I hope to see your event listed on our website. It’s an honor to be with you in this movement.
In solidarity,
Claire Sandberg
