"I have some exciting news, team.

More people have contributed to our campaign than to any other candidate running for president, Democrat or Republican.

That is truly remarkable, and I am humbled by this support. But I will be frank: it may not matter in the end unless we get organized now.

On the evening of July 29, we will kick off building the organization that will take back our country from the billionaire class — and I’m going to speak directly by video to this unprecedented gathering.

People will gather at more than 1,000 homes, restaurants, and other locations across the country for our first ever national organizing meeting, including this event close to you:


Wednesday, July 29ᵗʰ at 7:00 pm EDT


But there are many, many more events happening all over. Find other events happening near you, and RSVP to join us for this historic night.


Find more events

At our organizing meetings, you'll have the opportunity to meet other supporters in your area, talk about why you support our campaign, and then tune in to a live broadcast where we will discuss how we take the next step together to build the organization that will change our country.

What we are building together is both unprecedented and critically important to our future. While other candidates may have more money, we have already proven that we have more people — now let's show them what happens when the people unite.

Find and join an organizing meeting for our campaign on July 29.

Thank you.

Bernie Sanders"

there are several within 10 miles. We thought about hosting, but my husband is just six months out from another stem cell transplant so being cautious.

Our 20+ year old son attended the Firefly music festival so I though you were referencing another festival.

He said there is a lot of talk about Sanders with his friends, need to turn that talk into action

On his website you can search for these meetings.

After the email blast, I couldn't believe that the various meetings filled up like crazy. Now I see that there are even more meetings posted by people...

This is amazing!

I finally found something happening in my area and it's already filled to capacity.

I'll keep checking.

I'd host something myself, but I don't know that I'm going to have the electrical and plumbing all repaired and working for a group by then.
