Saturday, Jan. 26 12-2pm & 4-6pm: Street Canvass to Make Bernie 2020 a Reality!
Join us for the Organizing for Bernie Weekend of Action to gather signatures to get Bernie Sanders to run for President in 2020! (Sign the petition yourself at OrganizingForBernie.com)
In his own words; Senator Sanders said:
“If, and that is an if, I do decide to run, we’re going to be taking on the pharmaceutical industry and the insurance industry, and Wall Street. And all of the powerful special interests who now control much of what goes on in Congress. So it’s not an easy decision, we gotta determine what kind of grassroots support exists, and that’s what we’re looking at right now.”
