Write up of Sanders Organizing Event of July 14 in Dewey Square, Boston (great pics at link)
Sanders, an underdog candidate trailing far behind Democratic frontrunner Hillary Clinton, has seen his stock rise among liberal voters in recent weeks. Rallies have swollen in size beyond expectations
The same was true in Boston. The city’s grassroots organizing kick-off was originally scheduled to be held in Encuentro 5, a space downtown, said organizer Ed Schluessel. When it gained traction on Facebook, he said, the event moved to Dewey Square.
“The fact is people are hungry for some kind of political alternative in this country,” Schluessel said. “The idea of a movement is resonating and very prominent.”
