SEN Sanders has been traveling the country, often with Rep ( AOC ) Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez D-NY endorsing progressive candidates in local, state and national elections and engaging with voters who are committed to saving our democratic Republic from the fascist heritage foundation's project 2025, the authoritarian theocratic oligarchy they expect the corrupt drumpf / trump-vance administration and the congressional gop / greed over people-republican party to impose on America. Here is his latest e mail, check it out and if you can make a donation of whatever you can afford to support these candidates ( I did ). And feel free to send this e mail to family, friends, coworkers, all you think may want or need to see it. AND PLEASE check your voter registration status to make sure you are still registered to vote or how to register to vote if you are not!!! WE NEED EVERY ELIGIBLE VOTER WHO LOVES OUR COUNTRY TO VOTE TO SHOW DRUMPF / TRUMP-VANCE AND THE GOP / GREED OVER PEOPLE-REPUBLICAN PARTY WE ARE WHAT DEMOCRACY LOOKS LIKE!!!
Dear friends,
Over the last year and a half, I have traveled all over this country. We've held more than 40 events, in 26 states, and talked to almost half a million people. Just a few weeks ago I was in Ohio, Minnesota and Michigan with our great candidates - all of whom are running campaigns that I believe are going to lead to victory.
And what I can tell you without any fear of contradiction is that the American people do not want an oligarchic form of government, they do not want an authoritarian form of government, they do not want to live under a kleptocracy where a president gets rich by being president. They sure as hell are sick and tired of the arrogance and greed of the billionaire class, and they want an end to these horrific and unconstitutional wars that Trump is waging.
Most importantly, they are prepared to fight back.
Sisters and brothers -- we find ourselves living in an unprecedented moment in American history.
We live in the wealthiest country in the history of the world and, yet, we are asked to accept as “normal” the reality that tens of millions of Americans struggle every day to afford the basic necessities of life: food, housing, health care or education. And, while 60% live paycheck to paycheck, the Oligarchs have never had it so good.
We live in a “democracy,” but we are told that it is legal and proper for one man, the wealthiest person on earth, to spend $270 million in campaign contributions to help elect a president who then provides huge tax breaks and other benefits to the very rich.
We live in a nation whose Declaration of Independence in 1776 boldly proclaimed “that all men are created equal” while, today, the gap between the rich and poor is wider than ever and the top 1% owns more wealth than the bottom 93%.
And not to scare you, but nothing less than the very future of our country, our planet and our democracy depends on what we do next.
Next week, the Fight Oligarchy Tour is going back on the road -- returning to Maine for a pair of events after our last visit 8 months ago.
A lot has happened since then.
Graham Platner, who was virtually unknown and taking on the entire Democratic Party establishment in his race for U.S. Senate, is now the presumptive nominee in the campaign to defeat Senator Susan Collins.
And Troy Jackson, running for Governor of Maine, who started as a significant underdog in his race now finds himself in a competitive campaign for the Democratic nomination.
Before I get to Maine, I am hoping you can split a contribution between Troy Jackson's campaign and two other candidates who are worthy of our support:
The first is Will Lawrence who is running for Congress in a competitive Democratic primary in Michigan. He is an accomplished organizer who co-founded the youth-led Sunrise Movement. In Congress, he will champion Medicare for All, protect Social Security, and demand real accountability for big tech and AI companies.
Trey Martin is running for Congress in Oklahoma. He is an Ironworker, union president, and eighth-generation Oklahoman who knows Oklahoma and the people who make it work. He’s building a movement strong enough to take on the powerful interests making life harder for working families and refocus our politics on the issues that matter most.
Claire Valdez is a union organizer who worked minimum-wage fast food jobs and understands firsthand how this economy fails working people. In my view, Congress needs more voices who come from America's working class. Claire has the experience and vision we need to take on the oligarchy and fight for unions, Medicare for All, and affordable housing. I’m proud to endorse her campaign for Congress.
If you've stored your info with ActBlue, we'll process your split contribution instantly:
When we act collectively we have the ability not only to create a dynamic progressive movement, but we will be able to transform our nation and create a government that represents all of us, not just the people on top.
That’s the goal. Let’s do it.
In solidarity,
Bernie Sanders

We hope you'll stay, because emails are such an important part of how we organize and how we raise money. In fact, there is no single greater source for our campaign's fundraising than emails like this one. And that's important, because no one person, not even Bernie Sanders, can take on the billionaire class alone.
Before you go about the rest of your day, help power our fight against the billionaire class by making a contribution today.
