How about 100 Bernie Sanders?
Let's get together to elect a Brand New Congress that works for all.
"What is next for the Sanders progressive revolution?
The movement that has grown around Senator Bernie Sanders’ presidential bid does not live or die by the success of his presidential campaign.
Rather, it is part of a long history of progressive struggle and engagement across the country – and one that is only going to grow stronger.
There are many candidates out there who stand for the same things as Bernie Sanders.
Like Sanders, they support policies such as raising the minimum wage to $15 an hour, social security expansion, and free college for all.
That’s why it’s important to think beyond the presidential election.
We should have an eye to changing more than just the White House.
We must change Congress, and every other level of government, right down to the grassroots.
With an eye on the midterm election cycle in 2018, Brand New Congress is engaging with people across congressional districts to identify potential candidates ...
with the express purpose of building on the Sanders platform and securing meaningful representation in Congress.
The aim is to run one campaign for hundreds of candidates.
Instead of running the races separately, we will be centralizing fundraising, awareness raising and organizing for campaigns across the country. Our unified process will level the playing field, and thus permit new leaders to rise up from the ranks of our working and middle class."
