Sanders to visit Mississippi for anniversary of MLK assassination

116. So what's it like on the ground in your neigborhood?

Who do you see at your local Democratic party meetings? Who is working to GOTV?

Nearly all of the new volunteers that I work with on the local level joined BECAUSE of Bernie. If it weren't for them, our county activism would be stagnant right now. Here in my town of 65K people, the most active new Democrats are "Bernie Bros". Some of our brightest millenials joined the party because of Bernie. One now sits on the central committee of the county Dem party. She and her husband regularly participate in statewide Democratic functions. Two other former Bernie supporters who are running for local offices (as Democrats) spoke at our county convention last week. They were both independents prior to 2016.

Last night I attended a third campaign kick-off party. A retired union worker (and Hillary supporter) is running for a state office that hasn't had a Democratic candidate for 6 years. His campaign director is a Bernie supporter. In fact, the room was about half/half Clinton and Sanders people peacefully drinking and supporting a new candidate.

So what does it look like in your neighborhood?
