The Peoples Summit will run from June 17 to 19. The final Democratic primary, to be held in the District of Columbia, is June 14.
The event is a declaration of independence from establishment politics thatll address the current repture in the political fabric of this country, said RoseAnn DeMoro, National Nurses United Executive Director. The group has endorsed Sanders and is a lead summit sponsor.
... Sanders backers vow to keep up his fight, and are not conceding defeat. Charles Idelson, spokesman for National Nurses United, said Sanders will win. The independent senator from Vermont hopes to convince superdelegates, party officials who are not bound by state results, to swing to Sanders.
The Sanders forces have other goals, notably to advance an agenda theyve been pushing for years. Theyll make a push at Democratic platform hearings and deliberations, which begin next week.
We must build a movement that involve millions in the long term struggle to radically reshape our political and economic systems that benefit big corporations and the rich while devastating working families and the poor, said David Hatch of Reclaim Chicago., which fights against big money in politics.
And, he noted, We are coming together to ensure this movement flourishes beyond the conventions, the election and the inauguration.
