THE BATTLE OF NEW YORK!

“The corporate media and establishment keep counting us out, but we keep winning by large margins,” the Bernie Sanders campaign tweeted triumphantly, after the Vermont senator won the Wisconsin primary by a large margin this week.

Journalists and activists in New York — the site of what may be the most important primary in the election — have noticed. And they are organizing in response.

Enter Operation Battle of New York.

It is the name of a new campaign launched by the editorial groups of The Indypendent and The Occupied Wall Street Journal, left-wing citizen journalist publications that have served as important voices for American social movements for more than a decade.

“We can expect corporate media to do everything it can to prop up Clinton and ignore or mischaracterize Sanders and the increasingly broad and diverse movement that supports him,” Operation Battle of New York writes in the description accompanying its Indiegogo campaign.

“But we don’t have to leave it there. Independent media can tell another story.”

Hillary is not going to take New York easily
