The struggle escalates Friday....

From an email...

Since the start of this campaign you have organized and mobilized at a historic scale. From Washington to Florida, California to Maine and even in other countries, you've help build a movement that shows that when working people stand together, we can change America.
We started by bringing thousands of people to over 120 grassroots events before Bernie Sanders even had a campaign. Here we are, 11 million votes later. Thousands of members of the political revolution and traditional community organizations will converge on Chicago. Will you join us?

I'll will be in Chicago

In this campaign over 1,300,000 million people have been at official Bernie Sanders events. We held the first events before the campaign even existed. Now we want to make sure you can keep holding local events for decades to come. Come to Chicago on June 17th to ensure this movement thrives until the DNC convention and beyond.

We have a great lineup of speakers, including Reverend William Barber II, who has launched one of the most successful movements in America. He knows how to bring workers, community, and multiracial coalitions together.
In the end it's not up to us, Bernie Sanders, or a political party to continue the movement. it's up to you.

This election may prove that the billionaire class still controls our politics, but, together, we will prove that we will end that. Financial support is available - so, don’t let finances be a barrier to your attendance!
In Solidarity
Moumita, Charles, and the entire People For Bernie team
