For five decades, Bernie Sanders has fought for the well-being of ordinary working people against the interests of the elite few. We are inspired by his platform, including Medicare for All, tuition-free college, a Green New Deal, expanded suffrage, and dozens of other ambitious policy proposals that promise to redistribute wealth and power to the working class.

We believe that Bernie Sanders, by focusing on the material issues that the majority of workers face and uniting us around a common enemy in the ruling elite, has the greatest potential of any Democratic Party primary candidate to defeat Donald Trump.

We also believe that a Bernie Sanders presidency is our best shot at fighting economic exploitation, racial and gender inequality, war, poverty, and climate destruction. And while many of the reforms he proposes do not themselves constitute socialism, we believe that they will both raise the expectations of the working class and materially put working people on better footing for future fights against the millionaires and billionaires.
