Wednesday marked the debut of Sen. Bernie Sanders’ reinvention. The former presidential hopeful launched “Our Revolution”, a new activist outreach to his many fans, in an online broadcast to 2,600 “watching parties” in every state — as far flung as Fort Yukon, Alaska; Gouldsboro, Maine; Brownsville, Texas; Naalehu, Hawaii, and Minot, North Dakota.
In addition, Mr. Sanders will publish a book titled “Our Revolution: A Future to Believe In.” The work is due on book shelves Nov. 15, primarily recapping his campaign trail experiences and underscoring his progressive ideas for America.
Mr. Sanders’ efforts have been greeted with new reports from The New York Times and other news organizations claiming that his staff is in a “revolt” because of financing issues, plus personnel and organizational changes. Mr. Sanders has not commented on the claims, and the debut of “Our Revolution” — both the cause and the book — is going on as scheduled.
Mr. Sanders remains eager to rally his flock around progressive candidates seeking office at state and local levels. He is ready, he says, to “fight for the values we share” — picking up where he left off when he suspended his campaign and endorsed Hillary Clinton in mid-July.
“Election days come and go, but the struggle for economic, social, racial and environmental justice must continue. We have the guts and the energy to take on the special interests, win critical battles on the most important issues of our time, and redefine what’s possible in this country. Now it’s time for all of us to get to work,” the Vermont lawmaker advises.
