Peoples Summit Offers Hope for a Movement Bigger Than Bernie
Once you know something you cant un-know it. Now we know how powerful we are, said activist and actor Rosario Dawson.
A conference (June 17-19, 2016 Chicago) organized around the progressive issues that formed the cornerstone of Bernie Sanders' presidential run has re-energized the American left, attendees said, as the gathering provoked conversations and connections that will invigorate political and social movements to come.

"Unlike most electoral campaigns," Cohen wrote, "the Bernie campaign resulted in a massive conference this weekend, a search for candidates to run for local offices, some real networking among progressive groups, and a plan for major national protests in February in D.C. and locally, no matter who is elected."
