Janis -

Washington, D.C. votes today in the final contest of the Democratic primary. Our staff and volunteers are working hard for every vote and every delegate in the District of Columbia because each is an important declaration of support for the values we share, and the issues that have powered our campaign.

When we started this campaign, I told you that I was running not to oppose any man or woman, but to propose new and far-reaching policies to deal with the crises of our time. And for the past fourteen months, through the entire primary process, we’ve sent the establishment a message they can’t ignore: we won’t settle for the status quo.

After today, the voting is done, but our political revolution continues.

I want to talk to you directly on Thursday night about what’s next for our campaign in a live, online video address at 8:30 p.m. EDT / 5:30 p.m. PDT. I hope that you will join:

Sign up to RSVP to watch my live, online video message on Thursday night and we’ll send you a text message or email shortly before the event begins.

This campaign is about more than Bernie Sanders. It is about all of us together. It is about millions of people from coast to coast knowing that we can do much better as a nation.

I hope that you will join the conversation on Thursday night and ask your friends to do the same.

In solidarity,

Bernie Sanders

I wish I was in Chicago today, something I never imagined I'd be saying. The only reason would be to attend The People's Summit this weekend at McCormick Place. Bernie got so many involved in a political revolution. A month ago Democracy Spring took place at the Capitol in Washington, DC. The movement continues this weekend sponsored by dozens of organizations that want change in the status quo and regain our democracy.

Janis,

A big reason for our tremendous success throughout our campaign has been because we have clearly articulated a vision for the future of America that encompasses social justice, economic justice, racial justice, and environmental justice.

This vision is not only what I want — it's what the 12 million Americans who voted for a political revolution want. You want real change in this country, you want it now and are prepared to take on the political cowardice and powerful special interests which have prevented that change from happening.

One place we think the agenda of these 12 million Americans should be reflected is in the official platform of the Democratic Party.

What issues do you want to be the focus of the Democratic Party platform? Tell us the issues you think should be included.

We aren't afraid to think big, and our agenda shows it. It is possible to transform America into a country that unquestionably works for working families and not the billionaire class. Together, we have called for a $15 minimum wage, a Medicare-for-all single payer health care system, breaking up the big banks, free tuition at public colleges, a ban on fracking, a carbon tax, and so much more.

The platform matters because it is a document that enshrines the values and goals of the Democratic Party. It's a document to which we can point and say, "This is what we believe, and this is what we fight for."

And so the Democratic Party has a choice in the coming weeks, and that choice is whether or not to embrace a bold, fearless, progressive platform that has the potential to transform our country for generations.

We need to hear from you about what you think the most important issues are that should be included in the platform.

Tell us what you think should be the priorities of the Democratic Party's platform.

We're taking our campaign, our values, and our movement to the Democratic convention in Philadelphia. We're excited to bring your thoughts on the party platform too. Thanks for being a part of it.

In solidarity,

Bernie Sanders

It's one month until the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia.
Lots can happen between now and July 25.

Bernie Sanders still has a chance at the nomination.

Janis -

Our struggle over the Democratic Party platform is about making clear that we intend to create an economy that works for all of us, and not just the wealthy and powerful.

Now, we’ve made some great progress to include a number of very important initiatives that we have been fighting to achieve during this campaign. Major accomplishments that will begin to move this country in the right direction like breaking up huge financial institutions and enacting a 21st Century Glass-Steagall Act, a historic expansion of Social Security, taking on the greed of the pharmaceutical companies, banning private prisons, eliminating super PACs, and moving to public financing of elections, and more.

But more needs to be done. And the most important issue is to make it clear that we must defeat the disastrous Trans-Pacific Partnership.

So I want you to mark July 8 on your calendar – that is the next meeting of the Democratic Platform Committee in Orlando, Florida. Between now and then, our job is to do everything we can to rally support for an amendment to the platform in strong opposition to the TPP.

And I believe that if we all make our voices heard between now and then, we can win this fight:

Add your name to tell the DNC Platform Committee to make sure the party's platform includes our amendment to prevent the disastrous TPP trade deal from ever coming up for a vote.

Let me be clear: this is not about embarrassing anyone. This is about preventing the outsourcing of jobs, protecting the environment, stopping pharmaceutical companies from increasing the price of prescription drugs, preserving our democracy, and respecting human rights.

This is about you and millions of other people making our voices heard that we need to create a Democratic Party which fights for working families and not wealthy campaign contributors.

If we succeed, we will be in a very strong position to stop a vote on the TPP and to fundamentally rewrite our trade agreements to end the race to the bottom and lift up the living standards of people in this country and throughout the world.

That is the work of our political revolution, and you are the revolutionaries. And I believe that if we continue to stand together and fight for the values we share, we will transform the Democratic Party.

But that starts with bringing the entire party together and speaking with one voice in opposition to the Trans-Pacific Partnership.

It is imperative that this platform be not only the most progressive in the history of the Democratic Party, but that it includes a set of policies that will be fought for and implemented by Democratic elected officials.

I am going to do everything I can to rally support in Orlando for our amendment opposing the TPP. But I want to be clear that if we fail there we are going to take this fight to the floor of the Democratic Party convention in Philadelphia next month.

In solidarity,

Bernie Sanders
