You’re going to want to see these photos from our California events.
Alfred -
Not everyone knows this, but in 2020 California voters will receive their ballots in the mail right around the time people in Iowa head out to caucus.
California’s role in a primary has always been important — it’s a lot of delegates — but perhaps never more than in this election.
So we thought you’d want to know that California is fired up and showing up for Bernie. So far, more than 275,000 people from around the state have taken action to support our campaign. And this weekend, we held YUGE rallies in San Diego, Los Angeles and San Francisco.
The weekend started in San Diego with more than 6,000 supporters at the very location President Franklin Delano Roosevelt gave a speech to the people of that city 82 years ago.
We then left for Los Angeles where just short of 15,000 people showed up at Grand Park across from Los Angeles City Hall.
After the event, Bernie took some time to thank some of our campaign’s volunteers:
Earlier in the day, Bernie also stopped by the Islamic Center of Southern California to talk about the recent New Zealand mosque shooting and to speak about his own family history, the forces that shaped his political views and a call for the American people to reject hate in all of its forms.
And we closed the weekend in San Francisco with more than 16,000 supporters at Great Meadow Park at Fort Mason.
And at each stop, Bernie told the crowd that this struggle is not just about defeating Donald Trump. This struggle is about taking on the incredibly powerful institutions that control the economic and political life of this country.
These powerful special interests are going to spend a lot of money to try to defeat us. But we have something they don’t have: the power of the people.
That was clear in California this weekend. And if we continue to stand together and fight, we are not only going to win this election, we are going to transform our nation.
Let’s make it happen.
In solidarity,
Team Bernie
From time to time we like to ask supporters directly about the issues that matter most to you in this campaign – and to see how those opinions change over time. Please take a moment to complete our official issues survey today.

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 Trump and the billionaire class alone.
We have an official FEC fundraising deadline coming up and we're trying to report as many individual donations as we possibly can. Make a contribution today before the FEC deadline comes to a close.
Windy day at Bath destroyer shipyard Global Network
Windy day at Bath destroyer shipyard
To Peaceworks
Windy day at Bath destroyer shipyard
There were 14 of us yesterday at Bath Iron Works shift change for the Lenten Vigil for disarmament and peace. These vigils will continue every Saturday in April from 11:30 am for an hour.
Except on Saturday, April 27 BIW has announced the 'christening' of the third Zumwalt 'stealth' destroyer. Folks will gather for our protest at 8:30 am on the north end of Washington St. across from the post office.
People coming for the blasphemous event will come on bus (to the south end) and walkers will enter into the shipyard on the north end. (How could the Prince of Peace bless such a killing machine?)
This destroyer will be named the 'LBJ' after the Vietnam War-era Democrat who escalated the killing and was driven from office by the growing national outrage. Naming the ship after LBJ is an attempt to rewrite history.
Protesters are coming from around Maine on April 27 to declare opposition to this warship. The three Zumwalts built at BIW cost a total $21 billion. The original plan was to build more than 30 Zumwalt's but the Navy objected saying it would eat up too much of their ship building budget. The standard Aegis destroyers built in Bath cost about $1.5 billion each.
Obama was pushing the Zumwalt's as a reward for General Dynamics Corp. which owns BIW. The majority stock owners of General Dynamics are the Crown family in Chicago who helped Obama become president. They helped Obama raise more money from the military industrial complex than his rival Sen. John McCain from Arizona did.
All in all it is a theft from the public. As Eisenhower said in 1953, "Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children."
These words resonate today - probably even more than in 1953. These days we must see a complete industrial conversion to sustainable living if we hope to provide our children and grandchildren with a future on Mother Earth.
The non-violent protest at BIW on April 27 will address all of these concerns.
In the end the US must give up its violent addiction to endless militarism if we hope to live on this beautiful spinning planet. It's really that simple and clear.

PETITION - FREE CHELSEA MANNING, AGAIN! Payday men's network
PETITION - FREE CHELSEA MANNING, AGAIN!
Dear friends,
You may be aware that Chelsea Manning is in jail again – this time for refusing to testify to a grand jury against Wikileaks.
“I will not participate in a secret process that I morally object to, particularly one that has been historically used to entrap and persecute activists for protected political speech”.
The state persecution of Chelsea Manning is a scandal. We urge you to sign the RootsAction petition calling for her immediate release. The petition is supported by the Pentagon Paper whistleblower Daniel Ellsberg.
You can donate to her legal fund here: http://tinyurl.com/chelsealegal
or buy a #HugsForChelsea compilation (for other expenses) here:https://hugsforchelsea.bandcamp.com
We also invite everyone to write to her in prison at:
Chelsea Elizabeth Manning
William G. Truesdale Adult Detention Center
2001 Mill Road
Alexandria, VA 22314
US
and to follow her on Twitter at https://twitter.com/xychelsea?lang=en
We mobilised for her internationally until she was freed in 2017.
Let’s do it again.
FREE CHELSEA MANNING!
Payday, men working with the Global Women’s Strike
PS: Please tell us that you signed it
