Dear xxxxx,

Help Bernie take another big step toward victory today:

Sign up to hand out flyers, hold a debate watch party, register voters, or do something else during our “Week of Action” from November 8 to 15th!

When Bernie announced he was running for president and called for a political revolution in this country, the political media laughed him off -- they said his radical ideas would never attract much support.

Then, when tens of thousands of people began turning out to hear Bernie talk about taking on the billionaire class, the insiders said we would never get organized.

When over 100,000 people came together this summer to start organizing for Bernie in their communities, the insiders said we would never raise enough money to be competitive.

And finally, when Bernie announced that over 650,000 people had made over 1.3 million contributions to our campaign, the insiders were forced to acknowledge that this movement is real -- and it isn’t going away.

Again and again, this campaign has defied the conventional wisdom -- because of you. And we’re just getting started.

From November 9th through November 15th, we’re holding a week of action to organize for the political revolution. Bring the revolution to your community by signing up to host an event for the week of action.

Since our organizing kickoff in July, thousands of volunteers have been working hard every single week to spread the word about Bernie, get Bernie on the ballot in their states, register voters, and build this movement among their neighbors. The dedication and creativity of these volunteers has been nothing short of incredible.

To win this election and create a real political revolution, we need many more people to get engaged as leaders -- including you. Let us be frank: the insiders are right that the odds have always been stacked against us in this campaign. We don’t have the political establishment on our side. And we know that, even with our record-breaking number of small donors, we will ultimately be outspent.

But we will not be out-organized. In the end, our ability to win this primary and this election will come down to how many people we engage as genuine leaders in this movement.

Will you step up to be a leader in this movement?

•Yes, I will step up to bring the political revolution to my community by hosting an event for the week of action November 9th - November 15th.
•I can’t host an event, but I can chip in $3 to support this volunteer-driven movement.
There are many types of events you can host during the week of action: you can host a watch party for the second Democratic debate on Saturday November 14th, an outreach event to flyer and sign up volunteers for Bernie, a voter registration drive, an art-making party or other creative event, and much more. Once you sign up as an event host, we’ll be in touch with tools, resources, and plenty of support to get you going.

The most important thing is to sign-up to host an event today.

Together, we’re going to prove the insiders wrong once again.

It’s an honor to be with you in this movement,

Claire Sandberg
