March For Bernie USA planning local city marches & national march in Philadelphia during convention



The goal of #MarchForBernieUSA is to demonstrate unwavering support to elect Senator Bernie Sanders the next President of the United States. We encourage Berners across America to organize a march in every city across America, and to march in unison at 12 Noon EDT, Sunday, July 24th, the day before the 2016 Democratic National Convention officially convenes in Philadelphia.

Organize a #MarchForBernieUSA event in your city. Create a Facebook event, Share the event link at the #MarchForBernieUSA National Event Facebook Page — https://www.facebook.com/events/1009394879138368/

Please support our efforts to advertise #MarchForBernieUSA by contributing to our GoFundMe campaign. Help us get the word out!

In Philadelphia, MarchOnDNC take place throughout DNC Convention Week, beginning with their Solidarity MarchOnDNC, Sunday July 24, then ramp up Monday July 25.

Do you think the cops should round up and isolate Bernie supporters? imagine2015 Jun 2016 #12
Yep, I believe most of them do. Most didn't support Occupy or BLM either. nt Live and Learn Jun 2016 #19

Here's a link.

Might be other groups sponsoring but I really don't know for sure.

Do you have any information on a broader sponsorship?

That has already been answered on DU. Mainly big corporations and Wall Street financial institutions.

I don't think he is doing anything to fund the Democratic Party convention.

Hello? Remember Republicans? They still exist, and get to vote and shit. You have to beat them democratically, not puritanically.

Is this something Bernie has organized, or is this something that say someone like Donald Trump is organizing? This shit makes no sense. Bernie can not win, it's over, when will you and the "anyone but Hillary" crowd get that through your head?

This is just stirring shit up and only will help Trump.
