This week my Bernie event.. [View all]

Is in Oakland. We're meeting with a woman who has been doing grass roots organizing for 25 years. She was also flown to Chicago in 2007 by the Obama campaign to learn their grassroots tactics.

She is having a pot luck and will be passing on her wisdom to about 20 of us.

I've organized volunteers before, but it has been a long time. This will be a great place to learn and connect with like minded people.

I'm very excited about this particular gathering. This is for people who want to organize, given by an experienced, knowledgeable, kind organizer.

I'll post about it later in the week.

Happy Labor Day! Thank you, unions!
