Peoples Organization for Progress to endorse Sanders
The General Assembly of the People’s Organization for Progress announced that it would support Bernie Sanders for president.
Organizers say the decision came after a rigorous debate and careful consideration.The organization has rarely departed from a long-standing policy of not supporting candidates for office. In 2008 and in 2012, the group voted to endorse Barack Obama and in 2014, the organization endorsed the campaign of Newark Mayor Ras Baraka.
Sanders, who had a campaign rally stopped by young Black Lives Matter activists, has by far, the most left leaning stance on all of the issues, especially the economic and racial justice issues that matter most to the organization.
“Bernie Sanders is the first self-described socialist to ever have gotten this close to the Presidency of the United States,” said founder and chairman Lawrence Hamm.
“While we should be deeply concerned by how Republican candidates like Donald Trump and Ted Cruz have taken the Republican Party so far to the right, we, on the left, should be just as active as they are and should give serious consideration to how the Sanders campaign could possibly take the Democratic Party from the center right to the left"

But they are not part of the establishment 
Seriously they are a grassroots organization out of NJ. So they won't get mainstream media attention. But isn't that what Sanders campaign is about? Reaching real people out there participating. As Thom Hartmann likes to see "it's not a spectator sport"
