We’ve reached 1 million contributors

Just a short while ago, our campaign reached 1 million individual contributors

Friends -

Just a short while ago, our campaign reached 1 million individual contributors — and we did it earlier than any campaign in history, including our own in 2016.

I am very proud of that fact. You should be too.

This is historic. We are also the only Democratic candidate with more individual contributions than Donald Trump, which shows we are the movement that can best defeat him.

Reaching this important milestone proves that one can run for president without racing all around the country begging millionaires and billionaires for campaign contributions at high-dollar fundraisers.

That number proves that when candidates for president speak honestly and authentically about the problems and the needs of working people and young people in this country, they will respond.

That is what we are doing on this campaign, and it is why we are going to win.

But winning this election will require more than just a record number of contributions — although that is certainly something we will need to continue to push for as we end this critical FEC fundraising quarter.

Winning this election will require people of all backgrounds and all communities talking to their friends and talking to strangers about the stakes in this election, and how our campaign is the one building a movement capable of not just defeating Donald Trump, but transforming our nation.

And all this week, supporters are joining Plan to Win events all across this country. So I am asking:

Can you host a Plan to Win event in your town? We are looking for someone to say they can do it in your area.

Use this link to say you'll host a Plan to Win party and one of our organizers will be in touch with everything you need to pull it off.

Like I have said from the beginning: no candidate, not Bernie Sanders, not the greatest candidate you can possibly imagine, is capable of taking on Donald Trump and the billionaire class of this country alone.

There is only one way — and that is together.

Thank you for saying you'll participate in a Plan to Win event this week.

In solidarity,

Bernie Sanders

We have a critical FEC fundraising deadline coming up shortly. We want you to participate in a Plan to Win event, but if you can't, please consider making your first $2.70 online contribution to support our work in your state and nationwide to win this election.
