Senator Bernie Sanders: Share Your Data with the Grassroots!
Bernie Sanders
Bernie Sanders has spurred a progressive movement in this country unlike any other in recent memory. We are the grassroots organizers who fought tirelessly over the past year to organize and build the movement that would help Bernie win New York. We spent over a month working to get signatures to get Bernie on the ballot. We held hundreds of events and knocked on thousands of doors to build this political revolution. Many of us have been working since 2016 or even earlier to build a progressive future that includes Medicare For All, the Green New Deal, and College for All. Many of us have also worked hard to elect Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Senator Julia Salazar, Senator Jessica Ramos, and other progressive champions that endorsed Bernie’s historic 2020 campaign.
Even though Bernie suspended his campaign, there are progressive candidates running on Bernie’s vision in almost every district in New York on the ballot on June 23rd. Now is the moment where Senator Sanders must consider his legacy and how we will build on his work to uplift the working class and marginalized groups of this country.
We are asking that the invaluable data accumulated by the campaign on its volunteers and donors be made available to the many progressive candidates who are running for office and the delegates who are working to continue the political revolution.
Bernie has said that he intends to keep his name on the ballot and acquire enough delegates to secure a place on the Party Platform committee at the DNC in August. This data would be a crucial resource in achieving that end, as we still need to mobilize our communities to get-out-the-vote for Bernie and his delegates. Without the campaign formally operating, we need the data to do this effectively.
We need a progressive coalition of officeholders at every level of government to build a governing majority. Many of these insurgent candidates are up against powerful establishment machines, against which they stand little chance—without aid from an equally powerful, independent movement such as Bernie’s. We hope that Senator Sanders helps continue building the movement by lending the campaign’s data on its volunteers and donors in New York to his delegates in our state.
