Hundreds of Western New Yorkers Turn Out for 'Barnstorm for Bernie' Sanders Rally
BUFFALO, N.Y. - Hundreds of Western New Yorkers came out for the 'Barnstorm for Bernie' rally Saturday night in Buffalo. It was a call for more volunteers as the campaign gets ready for New York's April 19th primary race.
"Polls change quickly and from what I've seen he's got a surprising amount of support upstate. So I think he's got a real chance to win New York if the organization and the ground game are real good," said Buffalo for Bernie Lead Organizer Brian Nowak.
Volunteers will be asked to knock on doors, make phone calls and talk to their neighbors about voting for Bernie Sanders. A panel of guests at the rally spoke about the direction of the country and how they believe Bernie Sanders is the only candidate that can speak for average Americans.
"The thing that I like about Bernie is that, we're not looking for the perfect candidate. We're looking for the candidate that can see errors and how a plan needs to be changed," said Katrinna Martin-Bordeaux, a Black Lives Matter Activist and member of the Young Black Democrats of Western New York.
"If America would have acted on the policies recommended by Cruz, Trump and Rubio, their parents would have never come to the shores of this country. Shame on them," WNY Muslims Founder Faizah Haq said.
Currently Bernie Sanders trails opponent Hillary Clinton in the Democratic delegate count.
The next primary race for Sanders and Clinton will be held on April 5th in Wisconsin followed by Wyoming on April 9th.
