Will this happen? Bernie Sanders: Enough is Enough Rally. 100,000 People to march on Washington!

Last edited Mon Aug 24, 2015, 09:12 PM - Edit history (1)

Saturday, October 17 (ACTUAL DATE TO BE DETERMINED)

Washington, District of Columbia

Imagine if 100,000 people traveled to Washington D.C. to hear Bernie Sanders speak! Think of the message that would send!

100,000 people already gathered for Bernie across the nation on July 29, 2015. We can do it again, this time together in D.C.!

What you can do to make this happen:
1) Go here: https://www.facebook.com/events/1636611586577118/
2) RSVP by clicking Join and select 'Going'
3) Click on Invite to invite friends you know
4) Click on Share to spread the word about this Bernie event!

NOTE: This is only an IDEA at this stage. If the event gets enough RSVPs (100,000) the organisers will submit it to Bernie's campaign team for endorsement and coordination. At the time of writing this 91,000 have already RSVP'd to the facebook event to attend.

It'll really be something to see. Wish I could go, but life's responsibilities won't allow it.

some years back. I seemed to recall that a lot of people showed up for that. It would be great if this Enough is Enough Rally for Bernie did as well or better. I think it is within the realm of possibility.

I have no objection to a Sanders rally, but your title implies that this is part of the Sanders campaign, rather than advocacy from his supporters. It also implies that the event is already a commitment ("100,000 People to march on Washington!&quot
