He's ahead in final alignment votes in Iowa for the same reason he's uniting the multiracial working class all over the country: he shares our vision of a future where we put people and the planet first.
This is a huge win for people power over organized money--and a big victory for People’s Action member groups on the ground in Iowa. Now we’ve got to get ready for the next big fight: New Hampshire, and the rest of the February primary and caucus states.
Chip in what you can right now to help us keep the momentum going for Bernie.
We were proud to endorse Sanders after a democratic process among our 1.3 million members. Our in-state member groups, Iowa CCI Action Fund and Iowa Student Action, represent the largest people’s group and the largest student group in the state, respectively. Together, we made huge waves fighting for Sanders throughout the campaign.
Here’s an example of a People’s Action member moving the needle: Iowa Student Action member Greg Chung asked Pete Buttigieg if getting big money out of politics included not taking donations from billionaires. Buttigieg answered “no." The resulting video clip received 3.2 million views on Twitter and forced more transparency from Buttigieg’s campaign.
From the Homes Guarantee to Medicare for All to Free College for All and a People’s Green New Deal, Bernie Sanders took the needs and ideas of the multiracial working class seriously—and then took up those demands as his platform. In Iowa, he reaped the benefits.
Take a minute to celebrate. Cheer at our Iowa brothers and sisters on social media. And then get ready to help us take New Hampshire and beyond. We need your support right now to keep this momentum going. Please chip in what you can right now.
Sincerely,
Ryan Greenwood
People’s Action
