Sunday, Oct. 6, 3-6pm: Phonebank CA for Bernie

Join friends and make calls to help Bernie win! In this exciting 2020 race, where we are going to elect Bernie as President, California is extremely important! California has moved up their primary from June to Super Tuesday in March. This means we have a shorter period of time to turn undecided voters into Bernie supporters in the largest Democratic state in the country. With your help, we’re going to do it!

**You will need to bring a laptop or tablet as well as a cell phone**

If you are new to phone banking, no worries, people will be there to teach you how to do it. Snacks will be provided. Making these calls is fun and doing it together is a great way to meet like-minded people ⁠— see you there!

Location: 6025 SE Henderson St. Portland

Thanks for a great 4th anniversary celebration!

Thanks so much to those of you who came out to the BerniePDX 4th Annual BBQ Potluck & Kick-Off! It was so great spending the afternoon with our local Bernie community and working to ramp up our volunteer efforts! There’s a lot of support for Bernie in Portland, and it’s wonderful that so many of us are eager to turn that support into action!

Here’s the Facebook album of photos from the event, and here are about 150 more if you want to see them all, courtesy of the wonderful Melisa Crosby. Below are the two upcoming Bernie events this weekend, as well as the opportunities we discussed at the BBQ.

Also, if you are a small business owner or know any businesses for Bernie, please contact Yu at: yu@macpcx.com. If you’re interested in getting involved with Bernie Westside, please contact Lisa at: koffeenut@yahoo.com

Hope to see you at one of our upcoming events!
