Sen. Bernie Sanders army of volunteers has signed up to host about 3,900 organizing parties for his presidential bid, his campaign told POLITICO.
The figure demonstrates the strength of Sanders volunteer operation, which includes a reported 1 million people who have agreed to rally support for his second attempt at the White House.
"People power is the unique and comparative advantage of the Bernie Sanders campaign," said Faiz Shakir, Sanders campaign manager. "We are seeing an extraordinary mass participation from a dedicated volunteer base whose individual skills, life experiences and relationships to their communities allows us to connect with voters in a way that hasnt been done before."
Earlier this month, Sanders primary opponent Beto ORourke announced that his volunteers held more than 1,000 watch parties corresponding with his campaign kickoff events in Texas.
