Bernie Sanders Iowa Campaign Announces Jefferson-Jackson Weekend Schedule *Updated
 
DES MOINES, Iowa - The Bernie Sanders campaign has announced an exciting statewide schedule ahead of the Iowa Democratic Party’s Jefferson-Jackson Dinner. Supporters across the state will be showing their enthusiasm and commitment to Sanders’ call for a political revolution during events that will start Friday—beginning with a free concert in downtown Davenport, and culminating with a show of organizational strength by hosting J-J watch parties in every region of the state on Saturday night.

“Due to an overwhelming demand from supporters across Iowa ahead of this weekend, we have added additional organizing events around the state to amplify Bernie’s speech at watch parties outside of Des Moines,” said Robert Becker, Bernie 2016 Iowa state director. “Also, because many of our working class supporters cannot afford to travel to Des Moines, we wanted to bring the excitement of J-J to their communities, with music and gatherings to watch Bernie.”

“When Bernie Sanders calls for a ‘political revolution,’ this is what he is talking about—thousands of Iowans coming together, not only in Des Moines for J-J, but across the state.”
