Bernie Sanders coming to Tucson rally at Reid Park

[magical thyme]

Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders is set to come to Tucson for a rally at Reid Park on Friday, Oct. 9.

Sanders attracted about 11,000 supporters at the Phoenix Convention Center in July, said Jenise Porter, an organizer of Progressive Democrats of America in Southern Arizona. Organizers expect about 7,000 at Reid Park.

The local, grassroots organization supporting Sanders has about 2,000 members in Southern Arizona, about 5,400 statewide and is growing, she said.

“I am receiving up to seven calls per week from people who want to volunteer, host ‘We Want Bernie’ house parties or work a table at public events,” said Porter, a state coordinator for volunteers and for house gatherings. There have been about 30 house parties in Southern Arizona, including Tucson, Sahuarita, Green Valley, Bisbee and Tombstone.

We have friends in Tucson who will be there no matter the crowd...and Tucson is where they are Happy to find Fellow Dems.

So...hopefully a great Turn Out!
