I want to share some exciting news. As I travel across the country supporting progressive candidates I am continually struck by the grassroots energy I see. Progressives from all walks of life have stepped forward to run for office—and are succeeding. Huge numbers, in state after state, have marched to fight the disastrous Trump agenda. And we have seen in one special election after another a massive erosion in the level of support for Republicans and their reactionary agenda.
The work of Our Revolution has been critical to those efforts. They are providing real support to candidates and activists across the country, and are doing the hard work of organizing in community after community.
Of course, Our Revolution was inspired by the historic 2016 presidential campaign that so many of you were a part of. Jeff Weaver, who managed the 2016 race, now has a new book that tells the inside story of our campaign. Jeff chronicles the highs and lows as we went from single digits in the polls to, against all the odds, winning 22 states and 13 million votes.
Jeff reveals for the first time how the support for our progressive insurgency grew in every community in the country while the establishment fought us every step of the way.
Jeff not only discusses the campaign itself but also provides a modern political context for that campaign. This is extremely important as we approach the historically important midterm elections, and attempt to build the kind of grassroots movement we need to allow us to create a government that works for all of us, not just the 1%. He even has some great stories of the two of us traveling the highways and backroads of Vermont in the good days!
In closing, these are difficult political times. But, together, I have no doubt that we will move this country forward in making real, lasting and progressive change. All of us are needed in this fight to create a better tomorrow.
In solidarity,
Bernie Sanders
