There will be a YUUUUGE rally for Bernie supporters at the State House on Smith Street. Right after or even during the rally people can collect canvassing packets on location and then bring them back to the 500 Broad Street Office once they are finished.
We will have music, speakers, and what ever else people want to do. If you want to participate – read a poem, make a statement, sing a song, let me know. There is a lot of work that needs to happen to make a successful rally but we definitely have the talent and the desire and the people
