Ask Bernie to Run in 2020
Thank you for joining us in asking Bernie to run. We are all making a difference every day, and that by encouraging Bernie to run, we can bring that change to the White House.
Dear
Senator
Sanders,
When
you
ran
for President in 2016, you redefined what was possible, showing
Americans that we could have a just democracy — one that works for
everyday people, not just the millionaires and billionaires. Through
your campaign, we embraced Medicare for All at a time when it was not
very popular. We rang the alarm about climate change and its
devastating impacts, and how we could work together to address it right
now. We began to imagine a future we could believe in—one that we would
be proud to leave for future generations. We got to know our neighbors,
and met new people in our community, organizing together for what was
right.
We
fought
hard,
but in the end, the outcome wasn’t what we hoped for. We
were concerned all of our hard work went to waste, but then realized
that the political revolution had just begun. When Trump took over the
White House, even through our devastation, we continued working with
our neighbors and new friends to defend our communities from bigotry,
xenophobia and racism.
We’ve
been
fighting
these last two years, and you have been in the frontlines
with us. Thank you for making Medicare for All a mainstream issue.
Thank you for getting every worker at Amazon a guaranteed 15 dollar an
hour wage. Thank you for reforming the DNC for a more fair political
process. Thank you for igniting much needed change.
Now
we
need
you more than ever to run for president and take on Donald
Trump. We know you can beat him because you are uniquely positioned as
the most popular politician in American politics. Your unwavering
commitment to working families, reducing income inequality, and
addressing climate change as our biggest national security concern are
what make you the ideal candidate to win in 2020. We are tired of
self-interested and self-serving politicians. We want authentic and
bold leaders who take immediate and meaningful action to solve the
problems we face.
Senator,
I
am
joining people across the country in asking you to run for
President in 2020. The vision you have for our nation can become a
reality if we boldly fight for every American and together build the
future we can believe in.
In
Solidarity,
The
2020
Revolution
